Enabling f8 (debugging) in vs2005 beta1

Hi there,

I looked everywhere but i cannot seem to find a way to enable f8 to debug in vs2005.

In vs2003 you could choose your profile.
Can you do the same in vs2005?

thanks

It's easy:

On the Tools menu, choose Import/Export Settings.
In the Import/Export Settings dialog, click Reset IDE Settings.
In the "Available installed settings files" list, select Visual Basic Development Settings.
Click Reset Settings.

The Visual Basic Development Settings profile gives you the VB6 keyboard mappings, including F8 for stepping through code. If you want just F8 and not the other VB mappings, you can customize the IDE in the Import/Export settings dialog.

Hope this helps,
the V-Bee

At the moment, the VB6 layout is missing, don't know if it will be available on RTM but I suppose it will be there...

It's there for my Beta 1 install, and it should be there for Beta 2 and RTM as well. If you are missing the VB6 layout, you may need to uninstall / reinstall.
