Where can I find a good cheat sheet for Visual Studio hot keys? In particular I'm wanting to switch between tabs but I'd like to see other shortcuts too.
Last week we shipped Service Pack 1 of Visual Studio 2010 and the Visual Studio Express Tools. In addition to bug fixes and performance improvements, SP1 includes a number of feature enhancements. This includes improved local help support, IntelliTrace support for 64-bit applications and SharePoint, built-in Silverlight 4 Tooling…

I get that you can select a vertical block in Visual Studio 2008 (alt-drag), but I don't understand how you use it once it's selected.
How do you:
Move the selection point inside the block and have the text you're typing get inserted on every line simultaneously?
Move the block one space to the right/left
Or can you just copy/delete the…
In the past two years, I have been developing .NET from my MacBook by running Windows XP into VM Ware and more recently into Virtual Box from OS X. This way, I could install Visual Studio and be able to work seamlessly.
But, this way of working has a major down side: it kills the battery of my laptop… I can easiely last for 3 hours if I…
Just curious if the XAML editor is any better at auto-formatting and wrapping attributes in Visual Studio 2010.
Here's how the editor auto wraps attributes in VS 2008:
<StackPanel Grid.Row="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="3">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Center" FontWeight="Bold"…
My first Visual Studio Add-in! Creating add-ins is pretty simple, once you get used to the CommandBar model it is using, which is apparently a general Office suite extensibility mechanism. Anyway, let me first explain my motivation for this. It started out as an academic exercise, as I have always wanted to dip my feet in a little VS…
With Tabs Studio the user is able to better manage all open documents in Visual Studio, grouped and organized most efficiently. This Visual Studio add-in supports the latest VS versions and will especially come handy when you open many tabs at once.
Hey,
Sometimes when I run an application from Visual Studio and it crashes or I stop it using the stop button in the debug menu (Debug-Stop Debugging (Shift-F5)), the console of said application stays open... and never closes. I cannot close it by clicking the 'x' button in the top right corner. I cannot kill the process as it is not…
Today Installed Visual Studio 2010 in my new Sony Vaio laptop. I’ve habit of taking screen shots while setups are running. It helps me if I want to find the items what I installed earlier for that software. but taking screen shots is not required for the software's like Visual Studio as it provides add/remove items at anytime. Below…
Recently for one of my project, it was necessary to create couple of services. In the past I was using WCF, since my Services are going to be utilized through HTTP, I was thinking of ASP.Net web API. So I decided to create a Web API project. Now the real issue is that ASP.Net Web API launched after Visual Studio 2010 and I had to…

With Visual Studio 2010 right around the corner, what does Visual Studio 2008 Professional with MSDN Professional upgrade to in Visual Studio 2010? Do I get 2010 for free, if I buy this flavor of 2008 now?
Our development team is planning to upgrade from visual studio 2005 to visual studio 2010 -- skipping out visual studio 2008.
Most of the projects are VB ASP.NET projects and using SQL Server 2008 as the database.
Does anyone know if VS 2005 projects will upgrade seamlessly to VS 2010, or should they first be upgraded…

I already know about Control-L to delete an entire line...is there one to just select an entire line (which I can then copy and paste somewhere else...)
I'm about to start working on a C# project. I'd like to buy VS 2010, but the only other member of the programming team is already using VS 2008. I'm concerned that having two different versions of VS in use will cause code compatibility issues. Is this a valid concern?
I have a crystal report in my Visual Studio 2008 ASP.NET project, and when I choose "Group Expert" from the Crystal Reports - Report menu, Visual Studio crashes / hangs and I have to use Task Manager to close the program. This happens no matter how many times I try, and oddly enough it seems to work fine on…
We have a project which is being developed by a 3rd party. They are using LINQ and .NET 3.5 with Visual Studio 2008. We are currently at 2005 with .NET 2. Once they have delivered the code to us, we are unsure as to whether we will be able to compile/build their code using our current Visual Studio…
I'm doing some javascript development and found a cool macro to region my code ("Using #region Directive With JavaScript Files in Visual Studio"). I used this on my 32 bit box, and it worked first time. (Visual Studio 2008 SP1, Win7)
For easy of reference the macro is:
Option Strict Off

If I open a solution, unload a project then reopen the solution visual studio remembers not to not load the project again.
How can I do this outside of visual studio? Which file is this setting stored in?
Visual Studio's annoying conversion wizard won't let me open the solution without…
