    Last Position

    Hey all,

    Where did the last position command go that is in VB6? From what I can tell in the .Net IDE you can not go back to previous pages that you were at before.

    This was real handy when I wanted to find a piece of code I used before and the go back to my last position so that I could insert it into my code.

    Re: Last Position

    In VB6 are you referring to MovePrevious?

    Re: Last Position

    The View menu has Navigate Forwards and Navigate Backwards options. I've never used VB6 so I don't know exactly what Last Position did, but they sound like likely replacements.

    I remember if your IDE settings is set to VB developer, you can press Ctrl+Shift+F2

    If that is what you are talking about. Don't know about C# Dev Settings (which i'm using now)

    Re: Last Position

    Unfortunately neither of those two suggestions worked, but thanks for trying.

    Let me ask this another way, how do “you” navigate around your code? Do you use bookmarks everywhere? I personally feel it is difficult to move around when you are jumping back and forth between two sections of code that are no where near each other. An example I can think of is when you run a find on your class file for something and then try to get back to where you were before you called the find.

    Re: Last Position

    I never used Last position in VB6 because it was rubbish.

    Bookmarks are better anyway. I think .net saves bookmarks doesn't it? VB6 doesn't.

    .net saves breakpoints too.

    Re: Last Position

    I have never used bookmarks nor back to last thingy...I often use the "go to definition" but except that, I scrool and use the tabs and use the "up one page"/"down one page" buttons on my mouse. As long as I don't make every file millions of lines of code, then everything works out beautifull. An other advantage of OOD...

    Re: Last Position

    Thanks for the reply. I have been trying to break down my code as much as possible to objects but sometimes I am not sure how to break out a method or groups of methods and make them a class, but that’s another topic
