Visual Studio and .NET

closed account (jvqpDjzh)
I have 3 questions about the VS IDE and the .Net framework:

1. Is there a way to configure VS to make it correct the comments, like in Eclipse, where you can choose a language to your comments and then it corrects you syntax and grammatical errors?

2. Is there a way to create forms more flexible, where is a layout that governs the form? (like with the Window Builder for Java. I think that a layout manager is a very interesting and intelligent thing..)

3. I have tried to install other layout languages to have the English version, but I can't do it, because it tells me that I don't have the IDE installed...

It's been awhile since I used VS2012 so not sure on that version but on VS2013 there will be a option spell checking comments (Which I believe is what you mean). You can find it in the preferences section. Not sure exactly where it is in there but just dig around and you will find it (Also good to setup the IDE to how you want to use it).

There is also good extensions for Visual Studio for a lot of things and a quick search came up with https://vsspellchecker.codeplex.com/

I am not familiar with Java so not sure exactly what you are asking here. Though both windows forms and other GUI development libraries for .NET (Like C# WPF) should provide layouts for your UI's.

Am not sure what you mean by layout languages... Do you mean keyboard layouts? Or full on localization?

Actually I just meant the IDE language...mine is not english, and ofc I would like it...
THe IDE language is by default the same as your windows language and can be changed by going to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> International settings -> Language and choose "English".


As for installing plugins, Visual Studio Express editions does not support that, only premium versions has that capability, so you need to buy a license for Visual Studio first.

Yes, I have done all what you said: my windows language is English (actually I have installed the lang pack), but in the IDE I don't have that option, I just have the option "as windows", but when I choose that, nothing is changed...

Ok ;)
