If you don't like the using directive in VS, try dealing with Java where you have to declare the specific methods and not just the class. Drove me nuts during my short tenure as an Android developer.

I have only a mild interest in developing for Android. Not enough to learn what's required to do it.

I'm to old to change, is there a way to use C# that actually works?

My limited interest is to build, for my own device, just a little step counter. Maybe a distance metric if it’s too involved. No frills, not for distribution. Just for me.

I would want to develop sort of an Android version of Merlin. 
Merlin (console) - Wikipedia[^]
And a game I developed while in college.
I could also adapt my implementation of Cosmic Wimpout as well.
And... and... and...

Yep, that’d be a fun little project, too!

I have been writing Java code for years on Linux, Windows and Android, and heve never come across that requirement. Maybe I misunderstand what you are saying.

In Java, you can put the class name followed by ".*" to get access to all methods. I've been told it not as efficient some how, but I have no idea how or how reliable that source is.

They did not understand what they are talking about.
First it only matters during compilation. It has no impact (zero, none) when it runs. The import statement is not even in the final binary.
In the Sun/Oracle compiler compilation is done in java - it is written in java. So when it imports a class for compilation it must validate the class. The entire thing. It cannot just validate part of it.
IBM use to have a compiler that was faster (presumably not written in java.) And oddly enough more compliant with the Java Specification. But still it would had to do a simpler import process to make sure the class was compliant just to insure that it could create a compliant binary.

I would like it if they could make Edit 'n Continue work reliably (like it used to do in VS 2005, but never since). This is for native C++ development, in my case. YMMV

I can't stand edit and continue, I want it turned off. Occasionally I forget that I'm stopped at a break point and start editing and I want the IDE to tell me that, like it used to back in the gool ol' days.

So.. you don't start your files with an exhaustive list of all your namespace inclusions?
Or am I missing something?
I'm feel like I'm missing something here.

I don't know about anyone else, but I definitely do not.
I mostly use the using directive for defining aliases for complex structures (e.g. Dictionaries of Lists). And for including only those Extension Methods I need for the code I'm writing. I write my Extension Methods such that I can include them granularly.
Furthermore, I put using directives inside the namespace which needs it, not in the global space.
Most of my code files contain no using directives at all, they are unnecessary, a cry for help.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, no need to make it easy for those other developers!
What did they ever do for you?
In all seriousness, the using directives support granular definitions.
So, no need to pollute the entire namespace, but it's still nice to announce your dependencies I think.

Say goodbye to C++, C#, Java and JavaScript and expect all programming languages and existing code to be replaced with Hexagony in a year.
GitHub - m-ender/hexagony: A two-dimensional, hexagonal programming language.[^]
(From CodeProject Daily Insider)
Obviously anyone can see this new technology will replace everything immediately.
Only question left is whether my tongue is in my left or right cheek.

I do not see that many differences with the code I am currently looking at. And it is C++.

My friend's kid is learning programming concepts (getting one's head in the right thinking patterns to solve problems logically) using Scratch, and also UIFlow for the M5 Stacks.
I've never used them myself, but personally I think those things are great - particularly for children.

I dream of a language which is written in XML, so comments can be better associated with code statements while not cluttering up the code itself -- they could be shown or hidden as necessary, even as tool tips if desired by whoever happens to be viewing the code.
Indeed, one person could be viewing the high-level description of a process and then delve deeper into the actual code as needed, while another could be looking at the low-level implementation and then view the description to understand the intent of the code.
Not holding my breath.

Wrong. Just log on to good old ChatGPD, type "give me my codez please" and head to the pub.
