Duh... kenapa harus deadline...

Thank goodness it's VB (and Beta 2)!

I know it's bland... Hehe. Masih nunggu rekan-rekan yang mau membuat UI dengan C# + GDI+ atau Managed DX.

Binary ZIP: NSnake - DotfuscatedCTP - WithKBSupport.zip

Update Sun, 12 June 2005: Now you can use Arrow Keys (Up, Right, Down, Left) to control Snake!

Visual Studio 2005 Update

Refer to the previous post:

1. Well, the messy menubar layout was somewhat NOT the default layout... Here's how to change the Settings to one of the predefined setting:

  • Tools > Import and Export Settings
  • Pick Reset All Settings and Click Next >
  • Select Yes if you'd like to save your current Setting, otherwise, select No. Next >
  • Pick the predefined setting you'd like to load. Finish!

Also on NSnake, I'm having problem with multithreading on Windows Forms. I tried to avoid explicit delegate and Invoke methods, because I want this application to be as simple as possible. Do you have any idea how to do this? I need to handle an event raised on a different thread using Windows Forms.

Expect NSnake Public Preview Release this week.

Mmm... Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2

Well, ini adalah review saya setelah menggunakan Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 selama seminggu kurang:

  1. You're (read: Microsoft) not going to release VS with that kind of menubar, right? I can't even find Solution Explorer (instead, I need to use the old keystroke from VS.NET 2003, Ctrl+Alt+L). Many other functionalities have disappeared from the menubar. Don't worry, it's still there. You just need to customize your menubar.
  2. My Project (is this VB only?), clean and clear project properties management. Yang dulu harus diatur di AssemblyInfo.vb, sekarang sudah ada UInya. Nice!
  3. Clean Solution, a quick way to clean your directories from compiled binaries. Just click and ZIP, no more manually emptying those bin folders.
  4. Problem with VCCodeModel assembly. Paling banyak terjadi ketika menggunakan Class Designer, tapi sekarang sudah tidak muncul lagi setelah install VC++. This is a BIG problem, do you really think VB guys can't use Class Designer!?
  5. Have you tried the Ctrl+Tab? Now you can navigate everywhere... Bye-bye mouse!

Lots of other things to mention, but we need to end it up...

A big question for you guys: What do you think about Visual Studio 2005 to OneNote Powertoy?

I'm going to submit it for the POWER UP Your OneNote PowerToy Contest on http://www.onenotepowertoycontest.com/.
