Whidbey Usability Issues
I was working with Whidbey since the early betas and I'm still waiting for some changes in order to improve usability of the VS IDE on C# property pages.
May be I'm the only user that feel that the usability of setting project properties C# is not good. But let me explain a bit more.
When you select properties on a C# project the property dialog appears. It seems like a document window but if you change something nothing happens, there isn't dirty flag, there isn't apply button, so after I change a value in this dialog, I alwayspress in some place in the screen so the window loses the focus, and sometimes I come back to the dialog in order to see if the property was set, this interaction is really unintuitive for me.
Additionally this dialog seems to be generated on the fly (and this generation is slow), and the screen is not well used (big textboxes, etc), I always have to scroll to see the button selectors, and more.
In VS 2003 I could select 3 C# projects for example and change a property, how can I do that in VS 2005?
VC++ continues with the old style dialog, Is VC++ going to change to the new style ?
