Yeah, now see... that to me is an oddity...

Just double-clicking in the control provides you with a default event handler (in all honesty just like the VB editor does the same thing) but to get a handler for a different event you need to then go over to where the properties window is, select the button to display the events available, find the event type you want in the list and click it to see it.

Yes, I agree that you CAN ALSO do the same thing in a VB project.

I am just aggravated that for a company that tries to preach visual and usability consistency in their documentation, they go and do this. They made the UI for a C# code editor window and a VB code editor window behave in different ways.

WHY?

Trust me, I am in no way slamming C#. I LIKE the language. It’s fine for when I use it, and it gets the job done. YES, my first choice is to use VB if I can, JUST because I am used to it over the years, but I can play in both areas just fine code/concept wise.

It just aggravates me that in this day and age MS is still not following their design philosophies.

Surprised? No.

Aggravated? Yes.

Something as basic as the organization of a code editor window, in my opinion, should be a standard that the developers HAVE to follow. It would be stupid to expect a VB developer to use Ctrl+C for the copy command and then expect the C# developer to use a different command right? In fact it is against every tenant that MS establishes, but they STILL allow this kind of junk to happen within their own development teams.

Maybe the C# devs feel the ‘VB way’ of doing it is stupid or childish, or inefficient, or whatever, but the simple fact is that MS obviously little control over what their devs implement and this shows it. Here we are, VS2010 and we still see creepy differences like this.

I wonder if Eclipse or SharpDevelop have inconsistencies like this?
