I hope you’re still not using Visual Studio 2003, if you are you need to get another job :) I want to talk about the hidden powers of VS 2005. Every now and then we get a good blog posting from someone at MS with tips on how to increase performance or do this or that.

Has anyone ever seen a site or even a single book dedicated to the things we “need” to know about VS but don’t. The only books I can find are general “using vs” kind of books but nothing for the more advanced developer.

Maybe we should put our heads together and write one? I’m giving it some serious thought and might kick off a page on this blog for gathering tips and tricks and then compile that into a PDF for us all to use.

Feel free to post your best tips in the comments.
