New in VS.NET 2005 - Development Settings
Working on the VS.NET 2005 IDE, if you noticed some feature from VS.NET 2003 missing or misplaced - be aware that VS.NET 2005 introduces customizable Development Settings. These templated Settings maybe choosen based on the predominant activity of the developer with the IDE and further customized. The new IDE setting changes can be saved in a .vssettings file.
The advantage of having this kind of customizability is that over a period of time a best set of features which boost productivity can evolve and these can be shared across a team or with other developers.
Scott Guthrie has a tip for folks with the C# Development Settings profile who do not get to see the document icon highlighted in the Solution Explorer while moving through files in the VS.NET code editor. This feature can be enabled by selecting Tools->Options | Projects and Solutions -> General and checking the "Track Active Item in Solution Explorer" checkbox.
