    Macros

    What's the purpose of the macros in the visual studio ide? someone give examples of what they've used them for. I was thinking one could be used to break long lines of code at a certain character number to keep your code within a margin. Is that possible?

    Re: Macros

    The only ones I ever used were block commenter, and block uncommenter, in the VS 2003 IDE. Since VB doesn't have an equivalent of /* and */..

    Although I did record one that had (ByVal Sender as Object, Byval e as EventArgs) Handles

    so I didn't have to type that mess out - but then I figured out how to use the designer a little better and I haven't typed it in months :P
