C# Editor at a conference?

  • Article

Back in da day, I used to go to VC/VS themed conferences and talk about the debugger. Even though I wasn't a very good speaker, the talks were very well received. Lots of technical content, tips for how to be more productive with the debugger.

When I moved to the C# Editor, I didn't know enough about it to share, but maybe I do now.

I'm looking for ideas about what you'd like to see in a C# Editor talk. 

I could just run through some interesting features and describe their behaviors in detail. We could create some interesting expansions. We could try a small programming exercise, using the various editor tools. We could refactor the starter kit or some other code.

What would you like to see?

    How about sharing some of the "hidden gems" of the editor? Little known hotkeys, useful commands that don't have hotkeys bound by default, new but not-obvious features in Whidbey, etc. Basically, those non-discoverable features that can really boost a developer's productivity. For example, things like efficient keyboard navigation (I still encounter people who don't know about the handy "last position" hotkey), code generation (keyword expansions, implementing interfaces, generating stubs), etc.
