Visual Studio Keyboard Shortcuts

I always struggle to remember particular keyboard shortcuts for Visual Studio – there are just so many!

The most common ones we use are

Ctrl + K + C (Comment)

Ctrl + K + U (Un-Comment)

Ctrl + K + D (Format Document)

There is a complete list of all Visual Studio shortcuts that is really useful on http://www.shortcutworld.com/en/win/Visual-Studio_2010.html

ISArc drags the Kiosk into the 21st Century

So today we began another revolution – to drag the humble “web-kiosk” into the 21st century.

Our goals were clear:

  • Create kiosk software that actually works and allows users to browse the web un-hindered by previous users
  • 100% remotely controlled by a central web-based information management system
  • Allow for whitelist of approved websites
  • Must run on low-power Atom-based PCs (but still require Windows 7 – for now)
  • Must use Internet Explorer 9 (or an implemention of the IE browser engine)
  • Must have “session” management – allowing for the creation of individual session logons
  • Must provide reporting on time-spent, number of users etc
  • Must have a catchy name
  • Must be very very very easy to use and manage
  • Must be “self-fixing” – and require zero maintenance call-outs
  • Must allow for the recording of activity
  • Must allow for the remote termination of a session

the result….

A visual basic (framework 4) custom browser application that replaces Windows Explorer, connects using web services to an information management system written in ASP.Net Framework 4 with Microsoft SQL Server running behind the scenes and automatically re-sets everything at the end of the browsing session.

Simple.

the work continues!
