Macros

The Macros submenu, shown in Figure 1-38, provides commands that help you create, edit, and execute

macros that automate repetitive Visual Studio programming chores. If you must perform a series of actions

many times, you can record a macro that performs them. Then you can call the macro repeatedly to per-

form the actions rather than executing them manually.
