Customizing the IDE


The new version of VS .NET has a highly customizable development environment. In particular, you can configure the text editors to fit your individual needs. Figure 2-20 shows a part of the Options dialog box. It allows you, for example, to specify in detail if a line break is inserted before an angle bracket in C#, how parameters should be arranged, and much more.

For your convenience, you can save your complete settings as an XML file and copy it to a different system. This way, it's possible to enforce companywide coding guidelines. Just select Import/Export Settings from the Tools menu. Figure 2-21 shows the Import/Export Settings dialog box.
