Anyone know if I can have visual studio prompt me if I really want to close it (I believe Eclipse prompts before closing)? Or some other way of stopping it from closing when I hit the "X".
Thanks
EDIT: To clarifybasically I wanted this b/c I have attempt to close an app that is in the foreground but accidentally closed VS b/c the other app was not maximized. VS can be rather slow to start up on my development machine (initialization of a couple of addin's and toolkits slow it down a fair bit).
In terms if annoying messages, I can understand that, but it could be an option (turned off by default) or you could be asked this question once and allowed to opt out from then on. This is exactly what Eclipse does.
In terms of my acceptance rate ... I can't defend that. I should be going back and accepting or clarifying my questions and will try to do so in the future.
My name is Arrogant Commenter and I think we should not use tools like Resharper because common sense tells you to just write perfect code. Common sense wants you to read books and to follow library help instead of searching for answers on SO. – leye0 – 2014-11-07T18:43:51.973
1Isn't that like asking someone if they can make and stove burner that won't hurt if it's on and you touch it. – Matthew Whited – 2010-06-21T16:03:38.953
I understand why you want it. I wish I knew how to do that. And I only want the functionality because sometimes I double-click the close button on an application and it closes Visual Basic too since that X is behind the applications X. – Kyra – 2010-06-21T16:06:02.360
1VS asks you to save when you have unsaved changes. Normally that does it. – Tim Schmelter – 2010-06-21T16:07:56.240
@Kyra, since when does Windows require you to "double click" the close button. It's a one-click event, no need for a second click. – Chase Florell – 2010-06-21T16:09:02.357
3At the same time... how many of us have been annoyed by the app that asked about 3+ times before you exit. "Click here to exit", "Are you sure you want to exit?", "Do you want to change your changes?" – Matthew Whited – 2010-06-21T16:16:16.260
3so many people hating on this idea... I ask - how much does it suck when you accidentally close (you have multiple windows open, and click the wrong X), and then have to reload your entire solution? For that reason, Eclipse has this – Don Cheadle – 2016-11-29T04:26:04.677
I personally like this behavior. The title bar of VS has the name of the solution, so that makes easy ID. If your solution names suck, there is a field called friendly name that you can change and the title bar will reflect that friendly name. – surfasb – 2012-01-04T17:42:26.443
