This is the repository for the LinkedIn Learning course 11 Tips for Visual Studio 2022. The full course is available from LinkedIn Learning.
If you need to work in Microsoft Visual Studio, this course can make your job simpler, faster, and more interesting. Instructor Walt Ritscher explores eleven Visual Studio tips, starting with how to use the new IEnumerable data visualizer. Walt goes over adding columns for ultrawide monitors, automatically saving files, and suppressing the “run the last successful build” dialog message. He explains the Developer Command Prompt for PowerShell, as well as how to create a project from existing files, squash and combine Git commits, and use keyboard shortcuts to find information. Plus, Walt walks you through using the VS command-line tool to manage Visual Studio, automatically tracking your active document, and previewing XML documentation.
This repository has branches for each of the videos in the course. You can use the branch pop up menu in github to switch to a specific branch and take a look at the course at that stage, or you can add /tree/BRANCH_NAME to the URL to go to the branch you want to access.
The branches are structured to correspond to the videos in the course. The naming convention is Tip#_MOVIE#. As an example, the branch named Tip03 corresponds to the third movie of chapter one.
