Annoying: Visual Studio 2010+ by default open XSD files in a Designer view
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/04/14
It is pretty easy to switch from the XSD Designer to the Code view: c# – Viewing XSD as code – Stack Overflow.
But I got a bit fed up of doing this each and every time after opening an XSD file in Visual Studio.
It turns out there is a default for that which is a bit hidden away: in the File Open dialog. There,
right click on an XSD file, choose “Open with…” and select the appropriate option – then click on “Set as Default” before you actually open it.

winforms – Where is the Tab Order Assignment dialog in Visual Studio 2012+? – via: Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/01/27
Duh: same for VS2013
It is still available, you just need to add it back to the View menu. Tools + Customize, Commands tab, Menu bar = View. Select the menu item in Controls where you want to insert it, say the bottom one. Then Add Command, Category = View, Commands = Tab Order.

Threading in C# – Free E-book
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/01/18
Still a great book. I love the chapter Threading in C# – Free E-book which you also can get as a PDF download.
It’s a chapter from C# 56/5/… in a Nutshell by Joseph Albahari. Great book!
Don’t forget to read these as well: Jon Skeet: Multi-threading in .NET: Introduction and suggestions (printable) Multi-threading in .NET: Introduction and suggestions (browseable)
