shortcuts in visual studio 2010

Hai Friends,

This is article which is very useful in day-to-day coding implementation for those who are in Microsoft .Net technology and using Visual studio for their development.

 

This article contains all the shortcuts which can be used while writing the code in .Net. It includes all the shortcuts which can really increase the utilization of the resource and can improve the performance.

 

Now you don’t need to remember all the syntax which is required to write the loops, properties, events, delegates, dependency properties etc.

So use this resource and improve the productivity.
