General Visual Studio Tips

[NewFromMattel]

Does anyone here use all the VS wizards for things like creating SQL Connections, and DataSets and all that? And binding to DataGrids.

It is the typical thing where the "automatic" VS ways create lots and lots of code, where if you do all the coding yourself, it's cleaner, but may take longer.

Just curious what everyone thought.

TIA

I code it all myself because I can get more performance out of it than the wizard-generated code. I also can get more control over what the code is doing, so I can handle things like DB connections going down when the DB cluster fails-over, and stuff like that.

How do you keep VS.net from unaligning all your code in your aspx files? That's driving me crazy!

There was a complaint about this on the ASP.NET forum a while back (was it you?) and the answer was: You can't fix it -- VS.NET does it the way it wants to.
