I have downloaded the Ajax control toolkit; I have created a new tab in VS 2008 (SP1) toolbox, added the controls from the AjaxControlToolkit.dll,everything went fine. When I removed the toolbox and tried to perform the same steps as above, it didn't work anymore...
That is, in the window shown for the "Choose items", the controls are't anutomatically added to the list, as before. What should I do?
When I go to make a new C# Windows application in VS 2010, there is an option at the bottom right area with a check box saying add to source.
I want to know what happens, if I check it and create the new C# file.

i understand that silverlight has come a long way since its inception, but i have always struggled to find the business need for silverlight. i'd love to hear the advantages and disadvantages of silverlight 4.0 vs modern html5 and javascript libraries like jQuery or ExtJS from some people who are more in the know than i am.
is silverlight the way of the future or a stumbling block on the path to a plugin free web?
Over the last few days I have noted a few web sites that demonstrated TS solution using genetic algorithms.
I am looking for your opinion which is better for this particular problem.
Heuristics vs Genetic.
By better, I mean will yield a shorter/lower cost path.
Explain why you feel the way that you do.
Examples, and off-site links are welcome.
Can anyone tell me what are the advantages of using Commands vs Events in WPF.
Do Commands or Events run into memory leaks?
What is the fastest approach. What are their disadvantages.
Hi, i set the cache symbols from symbol servers to directory to D:\WebSymbols, but whenever i use VS2008 attach to process to debug, the VS2008 will copy the .pdb to the location of the attached process, and i also found many .pdb in the Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\sym.
is there any way to prevent VS copying the .pdb files?
thanks in advance!
Is there a compiler option in VS 2008 (C++) to expose uninitialized variables? I'm trying to debug a problem where the "release" build of a DLL does not work but the "debug" build of the DLL does work.
I'm wondering - is there any difference in performance of using CSS Transitions vs. any of the various JS animation libraries? (scriptaculous, scripty2, jsAnim, MooTools, $fx, etc, etc).
I've tried various tests in Safari / Google Chrome, and I don't actually see any difference -- I thought that CSS Transitions were supposed to be hardware accelerated.
I'm newish to TFS and am working with VS and TFS 2010 RC releases. In every other DIFF tool I've used in the past I have had options for configuring how to treat whitespace differences, among other things. Where are these options when working with VS2010 and TFS2010?
Thanks!
Session[Constant] vs Session["String Literal"] Performance
I'm retrieving user-specific data like ViewData["CartItems"] = Session["CartItems"]; with a string literal for keys on every request. Should I be using constants for this?
If yes, how should I go about implementing frequently used string literals and will it significantly affect performance on a high-traffic site?
Related question does not address ASP.NET MVC or Session.
Anyone know if you can simply publish to a url? I don't know what the heck the new publish to web is but I don't like it. I want to be able to just publish to a url like I was able to in VS 2008 and down. I don't have a service endpoint to give it so not sure how to do this.
I'm getting a System.NullReferenceException when my application starts up (after a small login screen) which doesn't crash the entire app but prevents it from loading correctly.
How can I get the VS.Net debugger to stop at the error so I can fix it?
The output I'm getting in the Immediate Window is:
A first chance exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in GrelisCrampApp.exe
I'm trying to put my database scripts into a VS Database project (I haven't generated them yet).
I'm assuming there should be some kind of "auto generate all" functionality, but I can't find anything.
Or do I really have to generate them one by one manually from management studio?
Is it possible to open a solution saved by VS 2010 Professional in Visual Studio Express and vice versa?
If so, will there be issues with the entity model (edmx)? I see the following statement here:
Visual Studio Express Editions cannot connect to a server. They can only connect to a file instance of a database.

I seem to have lost the association from .sql files to the default VS T-SQL editor. I'm using Visual Studio 2008. When i open a .sql file it opens using a text editor with no syntax highlighting. How do I reassociate all .sql files with the default T-SQL editor while inside Visual Studio?
I'm building a tabbed WPF application. I'm planning to put MapPoint control (ActiveX) on one of the tabs. I want to have the option to float this tab just like in VS 2010. The resulting widow must contain the same instance of the MapPoint control (because each instance of the control starts up separate MapPoint instance). Any idea how to implement this?
I want to create a custom ribbon button within Outlook 2007 using Visual Studio 2008 Standard, but am unsure how to proceed. Most of the resources I've found mention VS 2008 Pro, and this SO answer mentions that VSTO is not even included in Standard.
Is creating custom ribbon buttons possible using Visual Studio 2008 Standard? If so, where should I start?
I'm learning about static vs dynamic types, and I am to the point of understanding it for the most part, but this case still eludes me.
If class B extends A, and I have:
A x = new B();
Is the following allowed?:
B y = x;
Or is explicit casting required?:
B y = (B)x;
Thanks!
After reading it, this is not a duplicate of Explicit vs Implicit SQL Joins.
The answer may be related (or even the same) but the question is different.
What is the difference and what should go in each?
If I understand the theory correctly, the query optimizer should be able to use both interchangeably.
