Anyone knows any free Visual Studio add-in that would find and/or delete dead (unused) code? I saw such possibility in MZ-Tools, but it's a little expensive as for private use ;)
Itellisense is suddenly missing from Visual Studio 2008 IDE on a project I am working. This was working fine. I rebooted the machine several times but still not working. It's working in other projects. What else could be causing this?
It comes up from time to time and I'm wondering of it's possible to use type info when searching in visual studio, or is there a plugin that includes this?
I'd like to search for the phrase
"x == "
or
"x.ToString();"
where x is of type 'Person'. The normal regex searches are strictly searching the text as opposed to the content and I figured out a long time ago that any thought I have is never the first.
I am developing a Crystal Report in Visual Studio 2008.
I am trying to implement optional parameters so that a user does not have to specify a value or range for a particular field. Essentially, this means there is no filtering done on that field if the user wishes.
However, I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Does anyone have any ideas?
Let me know if more information is required.
I want to automate the Visual Studio 2010 / Resharper 5 auto inserting import directives to put my internal namespaces into the namespace sphere. Like this:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using StructureMap;
namespace MeProject.DependencyResolution
{
using Core;
using Core.Common; // <--- My internal namespaces to be here!
It's possible to define your own custom templates for normal project types, such as templates for C# files, for a Class Library project.
What about a 'Database Project' scenario?
I would like to define a standard template for adding a stored procedure, which uses the company's conventions for all stored procedures, such as standard comments at the top.
Which folder contains Visual Studio templates for Database projects?
Hey guys, in Visual Studio 2010 I can point to a bunch of classes and create a diagram.
However, the diagram by default doesn't recognize any relationships between the classes, except inheritance and implementations.
Is there a way, ideally by using Attributes, to define class and property relationships and associations in such a way that it is picked up by a new Class Diagram automatically?
cheers!
Is there an application or API for using/accessing Visual SourceSafe (6.0) under Mac OS X? I'm currently using VSS Connect under Parallels for working with our company's ASP.NET site/s. I currently have my Windows drive shared and try to use TextMate on the Mac side to actually edit files. It would be nice to have the ability to check files in/out outside of my virtual machine though.
I've created a setup project in Visual Studio 2008. I would like the installed location
DefaultLocation never to be modified by the user during installation, probably by
skipping the 'Select Installation Folder' dialog during setup. Is there a way to do
this, either in VS2008 (or VS2010) or using an MSI editor such as Orca. Please advise
at your earliest convenience, thanks.
For example, you can type this.Loaded += in C# and press TAB a couple of times to automatically generate an event handler. Is there an equivelent in Visual Basic?
Typing Addhandler Me.Loaded and pressing TAB or RETURN does nothing.
I'm looking for a free visual editor for a language that would compile to native windows exe, no runtime.
I'm looking for alternatives to the Delphi suite (so don't give it as an answer), something that would allow me to write Windows GUI applications with ease.
I don't care about the language, as long as it gets the job done, but I would appreciate if your suggestions avoid functional languages. Even better if it abstracts the windowing system with something more simple than the winAPI.
For a small community discussion, what are some essential Visual Studio macros you guys use? I just started learning about them, and want to hear what some of you guys can't live without.
I am looking for a tool which will make able to edit parts of Java code visually using something like inspector and place code back.
For example:
Person p = new Person();
p.setName("Bill Libb");
p.setAge(25);
This code should be generated from visual inspector and copied into Java IDE.
This will help quickly create sample objects for testing.
I recently reinstalled my development machine and went from 32 bit Windows Vista to 64 bit Windows 7. I'm running VS2008.
Some of my .NET applications still use J#, which now causes problems. The program still runs, but when I want to deploy it (I'm using a setup project to create a .msi), I get this error:
"Visual Studio registry capture utility has encountered a problem"
How can I fix this?
This error does not occur with other programs (those written purely in C#).
I'm trying to write a macro that toggles between release/debug solution configurations in Visual Studio.
It appears I can switch the configuration by using 'DTE.ExecuteCommand("Build.SolutionConfigurations", "Debug")'.
Is there a way I can 'read' the value? Or is there a way I can use macros to 'focus' on the solution configuration UI element?
I have my original CD housing for my copy of Visual Studio 2008 Standard. Therefore I still have my key. I have trial versions of 2008 and 2010, and Express versions of both, but can't find a place to enter my CD key.
What am I suppose to do? I lost my CD. Should I just call MSFT and ask them what to do?
hello respected sir/ mam

For the longest time I've been curious to code in Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) 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?
I am looking for some good examples of Speech Recognition using VB. I am looking for recent examples, everything I have found is several years old. I am running Visual Studio 2010 with the most recent SDK. I was able to figure out text to speech but I am chasing my tail on speech to text.
Question
Is there a way to notify teamcity when ever someone does a commit to a repository on visual svn? This is so every time someone commits to the repository a build in teamcity will trigger immediately without the developer having to wait for polling to kick in on its set time interval.
Hi!
I have installed Visual Studio Team System 2008 Architecture version: 9.0.30729.1 SP and Microsoft Net Framework 3.5 SP1.
When I'm going to add a new item I can't find ADO.NET Entity Data Model template.
What's happening?
Thanks!
I have a scripted database SQL file that I need to execute inside Visual Studio to create a new database. I am so far unable to locate any function that allows me to do this.
Hi,
I get the following exception: 'Cannot find the method on the object instance' when I hover over a property of one of my classes in Visual Studio 2010.
Any ideas?
Does Visual Studio .NET 2008 come with UISpy? I ask this for for the reason that my copy of VS installed, but everything else pretty much errored out and I want to know if I need to fix it for UISpy (not worried about compact framework or device emulators). Thanks.
