Activate 'Full Screen Mode' During your Source Code Editing

Okay, I admit this is a rather lame tip which can hardly qualify as 'insightful', however this is one of my favorite features of Visual Studio .NET (as well as previous editions of the Visual Studio product line) which many folks are (surprisingly) unaware of. Under the View menu you will find a menu item named 'Full Screen'. When activated, the only window displayed will be the active document. This is especially helpful for those working on low resolution monitors, given that the size of your code window can shrink dramatically if you have too many windows docked within the IDE. To escape from full screen, just click the Full Screen button floating over your code window.
