In the forms designer of Visual Studio 2010, you can auto-generate event handlers (mostly done by double-clicking on the control that you want an event handler created for). However, I cannot determine how to auto-generate a closing event handler (not a closed event handler). Can any of you VS2010 gurus show me the way? Not sure if this matters, but this is for a Visual C# program.
To clarify, I'm looking for a way to auto-generate the closing event handler (this event happens when a user clicks the close/cancel button, but fires before the app actually closes).
Thanks!
Click on the window of your application and in the properties section (bottom right), click on the events tab, and then go to the Close and then type in a name of the method and it should create one for you in the code-behind.

I'm using Visual Studio 2013, with Blend, to play around with creating Windows 8 apps. I used Blend to add a button, but when I went to add the name of an event handler method to the button in Blend, all the textboxes pertaining to the different events were disabled.
Screenshot as follows:
Contrast between the active textbox "Name" near the top, and the disabled textboxes that pertain to the event handler methods. The latter cannot be interacted with.
I am aware that I can add events in Visual Studio, but I was wondering if there is any reason why I can't do it in Blend.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Update: It looks like the issue is fixed in Blend for Visual Studio 2015.
I was looking for so long how to generate automatically event handlers for example for a button in a WEB PROJECT. In properties window there is no icon for adding event handlers. If somebody knows how to add it to one of the navigation windows I will be glad to see the answer.
The screen how it looks in my Visual Studio 2012:

When I am in a C# Forms projects I can see this event handler icon in a properties window.
In Visual Studio it is possible to select a control on a form and by click on control event switch to the event code. Is it possible to do this in Connections Inspector?
There is no way to do like Visual Studio.
I have a custom workflow activity for which I've written a designer. Unfortunately, when I drag my activity from the toolbox onto the workflow designer surface, I get an error ("Could not generate view for ..."). I suspect that some code in my designer (which is running inside of Visual Studio) is at fault.
How can I debug the code in the designer? Since it normally runs inside of VS, I'm not sure how to proceed.
You can start a second copy of VS2010 and attach the debugger to that instance to debug your designer.
For some reason, a variety of actions in Visual Studio 2005, actions that have nothing to do with SQL Server, are opening the "Connect to SQL Server" dialog. And it takes four (4) clicks on the CANCEL button to kill the dialog.
For example, if I right click on a class method in the Editor, hoping to find the Go To Definition option, the dialog opens.
Or if I run a project in Debug mode, and then close the app, the dialog opens.
I have to close VS and re-open it to get this to stop. But after a while, this behavior returns. What is causing it has eluded me.
Is this Microsoft's way to get me to upgrade to VS2008? OK, he's had VS2005 for too long. Time for him to upgrade. Invoke DriveCustomerMad.
Next time you see the dialog box, open a second copy of VS2005, attach its debugger to the first one, pause the process, and look at the call stack.
Do you have any addons installed?
