So I am fumbling around with VS2005 treating it like VS2003 and just stumbling across the new features (as opposed to reading the books or the help). Every now and then you find something that is really simple but is just excellent.
The output window now shows the statement the IDE has used to compile the project. This was not in VS2003 and to create some automated build/deployment script required some mucking around working out all of the damn command line arguments.
Not anymore - a copy and paste later and your done.
The command line to compile this relatively small WinForms app was 1671 characters long (an entire command prompt screen's worth). I am really happy that I did not have to type that in.
