Dev Tools & Code
A little-known window available in Visual Studio is the Document Outline. It is a hierarchial listing of all of the controls on the form/user control.
I find it most useful for:
-
rearranging the hierarchy,
-
selecting controls not easily clicked on in the Designer,
-
quickly adding naming conventions to my controls (faster than going through the dropdown list in the Properties window), and
-
removing superfluous controls that I forgot were still on the form.
You can access the window by toggling View -> (in 2005: Other Windows ->) Document Outline (or Ctrl + Alt + T).
