10 Visual Studio Shortcuts you should make your habit.

Th Visual Studio is a great Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for millennium software developers and there are many features in it which you might not know. To deliver solutions to your clients fast, you need a way to work faster so, in this article, I am writing about some Visual Studio Shortcuts that could make you very efficient when developing.
The List:

  1. Ctrl+Tab: I love this shortcut, it helps me in navigating through Active Tool Windows and Active files and you can still further navigate with Up arrow, Down arrow keys, etc while holding down the Ctrl Key.
  2. Ctrl+K, C : This shortcut is used for commenting out selected lines of code, you first highlight the lines you want to comment out then you press Ctrl+K and press Key C while still holding Ctrl key.
  3. Ctrl+K, U: Of course it wont be complete if we have a shortcut for commenting out lines without the opposite shortcut. Use this shortcut the same way you use the commenting shortcut.
  4. Ctrl+Shift+F and Ctrl+F: Use this shortcut to search for something within your solution. Experiment to find the difference between Ctrl+Shift+F and Ctrl+F.
  5. Ctrl+Space bar: Use this shortcut to trigger intellisence.
  6. Ctrl+F5: Yeah, this is the most popular one, it starts and lets you test your program in a non-debugging mode.
  7. F5: This is the opposite of Ctrl+F5, it starts and lets you test your program in a debug mode.
  8. Ctrl+Shift+B: Sometimes, you want to build you project without running it, this shortcut helps you in accomplishing that.
  9. Ctrl+Shift+A: With this shortcut, you can add new item to your project.
  10. Shift+Alt+A: Use this shortcut to add existing item to your project.


Come on friends, the list is endless; if we continue writing today we are going to feel up the whole place. As a developer, the task that these shortcuts helps you to accomplish, are the task that you can't do without when developing a solution. If have a shortcut you think should be added to the list, please be very kind to list it in the comment section below, thanks.

HOW TO WRITE, COMPILE AND RUN C++ CODE ON LINUX KALI

Developing a C++ Program on Kali Linux Without Installing Additional Software This article is for hackers who want to develop a C++ program on Kali Linux without installing any additional software. Some might say you need to install a separate compiler or extra tools to write and run a simple C++ program on Kali Linux. However, I’ll show you how to do it right out of the box. Pre-installed C++ Compiler in Kali Linux Kali Linux comes with a pre-installed C++ compiler called g++ . We will use this to write and compile a basic "Hello, World!" program. Step 1: Check if g++ is Installed Open your terminal and run the following command: g++ -v If the compiler is installed, you should see version details. If not, you will get an error message. Step 2: Create a C++ File In your terminal, type: nano MyCpp.cpp This will create a C++ file and open it in the Nano editor. Step 3: Write the C++ Code Once Nano opens, enter the following C++ code: #include <...

HOW TO MAKE A SIMPLE TEXT TO SPEECH(TTS) WINDOWS PROGRAM USING C# PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE.

This post is a beginner's guide on how to get started with speech programming in visual studio using c# (c_sharp) programming language. For those who don't know what a programming language is, in a nut shell, a programming language is simply a command based computer language used for instructing a computer to do a particular job. When I say job, I mean very complex job. Write the above definition in an exam and stand a chance of losing marks. The definition isn't all there is about what programming language is, so I suggest you make a good search to learn what programming language really is. Though, this article is for beginners but I will say "BEGINNERS ARE CLASSIFIED", am a beginner. If you are a beginner who hasn't tasted code in his or her life before, I suggest you go start something. A good learning source is "tutorial point", they taught me a lot. Now for you who have tasted code, you will need the following: Computer System running wind...

HOW TO APPLY FALLING TEXT EFFECT IN A CONSOLE PROGRAM WITH THREADING IN C#

"A thread is defined as the execution part of a program. Each thread defines a unique flow of control. If your application involves complicated and time consuming operations then it is often helpful to set different execution paths or threads, with each thread performing a particular job.", says the smart guys behind Tutorials Point.Well, our program is not going to be complicated and we are not going to be performing any time consuming task, we are rather going be creating a camouflage application that gives us the effect similar to what you get when you ping a site or an IP address with the "-t" option in cmd or the effect you see in movies like Blacklist, 24, Person Of Interest and the likes.Now let's stop the ranting and get started.We are going be building this application upon our existing code, one we started in the previous article "How to grammatically Change the background and foreground color of a console Application".Now open up the code in...
