Visual studio 2010 showing available events from c

Question

In work and in home I have VS2010 installed. But in work I have this one cool feature. On the code behind file I have two drop downs. When I select some object in the left one lets say a testButton or Default2 (a page class), on the right one I get all available events for that object and when I select an event Visual Studio autogenerates it in my code-behind file. In my home VS I actually have does 2 drop downs but they work different. I have available objects on the right one but when I select for example the testButton it shows me the aspx page and points this button :/ Should I set sommething in the VS configuration or maybe in work I have some addon which I'm not aware of? Any ideas?

Answer 1

It is most certainly is a VB only feature and has been reported on numerous occassions to Microsoft.

Answer 2

This and the feature to generate event handlers without having to switch to Design view for C# is finally coming in Visual Studio 2012. It was about time.

Answer 3

1. Up to Visual Studio 2010, only Vb.net has this feature: on code-behind page, the code panel upper-left drop down shows a control's name, and the right drop down shows this control's available events. When clicking this event we can get the code-block for this event. This feature is not available in C#.

2. Without above feature, we can still get a control's available events for both C# and Vb.net: We must select the control on the aspx page and choose the design view at the lower left corner, then on the Properties panel click the Event button (the lighting sign), then available actions will be shown, double-click the name of the event you want, the event code will be generated in code-behind.
