Sometimes I would like to undock a source file and slide it over to another monitor while editing another file. How do you do this in Visual Studio 2008?
Visual Studio 2008 has a Copy Web Site tool that remembers previous FTP locations that files have been copied to. There is a "Connections" drop down where they are listed. I'd like to remove some old listings from that, but I can't find where they're stored.
I've looked at the solution file, and there's nothing there.

Hi folks,
is it possible to have a way to clear the Visual Studio OUTPUT window, programatically? For example, the SysInternal's debugger app called DebugView has the specific command called DBGVIEWCLEAR .. which clears the log window.
Please don't say: right-click, clear window .. with the mouse. I know that, but that's not what i'm after.
cheers :)
Are there any coders out there that have real experience/exposure to both PHP and ASP.net? I'm a C# developer, wondering if any PHP frameworks compare to the robustness of the Visual Studio Development environment.
We added a SharePoint BDC model project to a solution in Visual Studio 2010. Ever since, whenever the solution is built, instead of showing the Build output in the Output window, it insists on having "SharePoint Tools" selected in the "Show Output from:" drop-down, just to say "Model validation started ... Model validation completed with no errors."
Short of shutting off any SharePoint projects in the build configuration, can this behavior be overridden?
Is there a g++ equivalent to Visual Studio's __declspec(novtable) argument?
Basically, in a pure virtual base class the __declspec(novtable) argument can be used to suppress the creation of a vtable for the base class as well as vtable initialization/deinitialization code in the contstructor/destructor respectively. E.g.,
class __declspec(novtable) PureVirtualBaseClass
{
public:
PureVirtualBaseClass(){}
virtual ~PureVirtualBaseClass() = 0;
};
See Paul DiLascia's article for more info. Also see my related question.
Good afternoon
is there anyone who noticed that Find and Replace window each time is getting wider when coding and compiling?
Even when I resize this window in Visual Studio 2010, it gets wider again... :-(
Perhaphs is there a way to fix its size?
Visual Studio 2010 moved to using WPF for rendering the editor. This is leading to slowdowns while I am editing code, especially if I'm running something else that uses other video capabilities.
How can I speed this up? A new video card? New drivers? Settings?
What technologies does WPF use to render and what video card would complement it?
I am new to SQL Server Management Studio and am wondering if there is a way to see what queries have been ran against a database. Surely there is a way to see these. In the Activity monitor, there is a "Recent Expensive Queries" but I'm guessing that isn't all of the queries since I'm not seeing the ones I have ran. I am running SQL Server 2008 v 10.0.1600.22.
For the longest time I've been curious to code in Intermediate Language just as an academic endeavour and to gain a better understanding of what's "happening under the hood".
Is there any sort of Visual Studio support for this in the form of: project templates, IntelliSense integration, and those kind of RAD features?
Open a file in the Visual Studio binary editor that contains a null byte (0x00), then use the Quick Find feature (Ctrl +F) to find null bytes.
I would have thought I could use a regular expression such as \x00 to match null bytes but it doesn't work. Searching for any other hex value using this method works fine.
Is this a VS bug, 'feature', or am I just missing something? Is there a work around?
I'd like to see how some classes are implemented in Mono and would like to use code navigation features found in Visual Studio. Has anyone tried importing Mono source codes as a VS project / solution?
A project I'm on requires Visual Studio 2005. One annoyance is that when a website project in the solution, any compile errors from .aspx or .ascx files show up like:
(0,0): warning CS0168: The variable 'ex' is declared but never used
(0,0): warning CS0162: Unreachable code detected
(0,0): warning CS0168: The variable 'ex' is declared but never used
(0,0): warning CS0168: The variable 'ex' is declared but never used
How can I track these down? Is there an option I'm missing that gives me filename and line numbers?
How do I represent integer array in Visual Studio 2010's UML class diagrams?
I'm new to UML, so I could be missing something obvious here.
Should I use Is ordered and Is unique?
Hi,
a colleague and I are trying pair programming for the first time. We both remote into a development machine; I'm using RemoteDesktop and my colleague is using UltraVNC. This works great except that he can't see the Intellisense dropdown in Visual Studio 2008. According to online posts, this may be something to do with DirectDraw, but I don't see much by way of a workaround.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks,
Andrew
For those who have spent time in Visual Studio 2010, and work with WPF, how much better, if any, is the designer for WPF? Are other designers, such as Blend, still preferred, or can we be productive in VS 2010?
I am experimenting with Less Css, and I am using Visual Studio 2010.
It would be nice if the editor provided support for syntax highlighting and Intellisense for Less, for instance coloring and suggesting variables. What are my options to get that to work ? Do I need to write a plugin for it, or how would one go about adding this to VS ? Does anything exist for this already ?
The documentation on the various WiX sites (Sourceforge or Codeplex) is a little unclear. Is it the case that only version 3.5 (still in beta) of WiX will integrate with Visual Studio 2010 (i.e. allow me to add and edit a WiX project in a solution)?
I recently downloaded Visual Studio 2010 beta 2, and was told it included a TFS server. However I am unsure of if it has/can be installed, or how to start it up if it has been.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me please?
Thanks :)
Thanks for your help :)
I am downloading the ISO of the separate product instead from msdn.
Hi all. This is the weirdest thing:
For some reason, when I'm running VS 2008 in XP, and I use the 'Advanced Appearance settings' control panel to change the Size of menu items in all applications, Visual Studio 2008 is unaffected by the change. (That's Control Panel - Display - Appearance tab - Advanced - select 'Menu' from the item drop-down, and change the Font size)
Anyone else noticed this? Is anyone aware of a fix?
Thanks in advance!
I must have done something wrong. I have a C# project in Visual Studio 2008. All of a sudden I see a lock on my classes and when I hover the class names on the top tab I see the class name as : C:\Myprojects\Oder.cs[Read Only] !
Has something weird like that happened to you before ?
Thanks
How can I prevent Visual Studio from naming the classes for new pages that are in folders from being named with the folder name? Does this method not set "right" with anyone else?
How do you determine at runtime whether the visual studio debugger is attached to your process. I've seen instructions for how to do this in .NET, but my process is a native C++ process. Support for detecting Just-in-time debugging would be nice but not a strict requirement.
Hi guys, I would like to install Visual Studio 2008 and MS SQL Server 2008 on Ubuntu OS which I have in my PC, however, I don't know how. May I have some tips please? Thanks.
For C# Visual Studio uses 4 spaces by default, whereas for C++ it is hard-tabs. Why is it so? Why is it different?
My project consists of both C# and C++ code and the difference really annoys me. I want to set a common standard for all the sources, but I wonder if this would have any drawbacks.
