cel Posted October 22, 2003 Author Posted October 22, 2003 (edited) lol I mean automatically, it's sort of a pain to add '**************************** between every sub you have. Edited October 22, 2003 by cel Quote
*Experts* Nerseus Posted October 22, 2003 *Experts* Posted October 22, 2003 I assume VB.NET has some kind of documentation feature like C# (maybe?). In C# you can add /// comments. If you add them above a function, it automatically scans the parameters and creates little sections for them in your comments. Later, you can build documentation from those comments. Why am I mentioning this? Hopefully just about every function you have has at least a one line comment to describe it's general purpose and intended use. If so, those comment blocks are a great way to see where one function ends and another begins. You can also set up Regions in code, which are collapsable areas of code. I know I didn't answer your question, but... I used VB for years and loved the function separater and loved it. I missed it for awhile but didn't find a way to get it back (not in VS 1.0). But after about a week, I didn't miss it anymore. It might be back in VS 1.1 but I haven't looked. -nerseus Quote "I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over.

cel Posted October 22, 2003 Author Posted October 22, 2003 i just find it hard to believe, with .net as customizable as it is, a lack of vb6 environment legacy :-\ Quote

Administrators PlausiblyDamp Posted October 22, 2003 Administrators Posted October 22, 2003 guess that means it's only there in VS 2003 ;) Quote Posting Guidelines FAQ Post Formatting Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them. -- Albert Einstein
*Experts* Merrion Posted October 22, 2003 *Experts* Posted October 22, 2003 It is so much handier to use regions IMO. Quote Printer Monitor for .NET? - see Merrion Computing Ltd for details
irasmith Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 The item PlausiblyDamp mentioned is available in the VB.NET 2003 Standard edition. It is the version I am using to learn VB.NET from and I just checked and it is there and actually it is checked by default. I know it is checked by default as I have made it a point not to change any of the settings just so I can always tell how things are set at install time. Quote Ira Richard Smith IraRichardSmith.Net
