Effective Use Of Visual Studio 2005 - Handling Open Documents

Visual Studio 2005 provides some excellent document management capabilities. Most of the we are not aware of these features. One of the feature is open document tab groups. Unlike VS 2003, it shows only as much tabs as fits in the window width. There is no scrolling. Instead, VS 2005 provides dropdown menu to select from all open documents. Inseated of selecting open documents, you can also do some other functions.
I am planning to write a series on useful-but-less-known features of VS 2005. This is second post in the series. (read first post)
In continuation to my previous post on managing open documents, here are some more tricks.

Right click on the open document tab group. A context menu will appear with following options:
  1. Save default.aspx.vb
  2. Close
  3. Close all but this
  4. Copy full path
  5. Open containing folder
  6. New horizontal tab group
  7. New vertical tab group
Save default.aspx.vb
Allows you to save currently selected document. Currently selected document is the one which is open in the window.

Close
Close currently selected document.

Close all but this
Close all open documents except the currently selected document.

Copy full path
Copy full path of the currently selected document to the clipboard.

Open containing folder
Open the folder that contains the currently selected document. The folder is opened in the windows explorer.


New horizontal tab group
Open another document window. The two windows are tiled horizontally. Both window will have document tab group. This is useful when you want to open on two group of documents simultaneously.


New vertical tab group
Same as above option. But this makes the windows tiles vertically instead of horizontally.

Redirecting to new window in c#

As a developer, many time I wished to redirect user to a new URL into a new browser window. I wanted to use response.redirect at server side and open the new web page into a new window. But the way redirection works makes it impossible to open a new window from server side. The common solution to this problem is to use java script's window.open statement at client side and then fetch the new URL into the new window. To me, this is totally unacceptable while I am writing server side code. So I decided to write some code to do this. But before writing, I googled for the same. I found a good solution for the problem. I would like to give proper credit to the author, who chose not to publish his/her name. As they say a code worth one thousand words, here is the code: ResponseHelper Class: The ResponseHelper class does all the magic. It adds a client side script to the response which opens the new window. Use this class in place of response class if you want to open new window. Yo
