I travel a bit and I'm looking for a hosted vcs with good support for Visual Studio. My projects aren't open source so I need security as well. Any recommendations or suggestions? Thanks
After full fresh Windows XP system reinstallation, I've installed SQL Server 2008 R2 and Visual Studio 2010. Soon I've found that I also have some very handicapped version of VS 2008 IDE installed as a part of VS2010 or SQLServer. At the same time there are a lot of interesting projects on the Web still targeting VS2008. Can I install a full-featured VS 2008 now, without it breaking something (for example by replacing some files with older versions)?
We are using Visual Studio 2008.
We have a solution with ca. 1000 tests. We run the tests from a script which produces a trx file.
Two of our tests timeout, due to what looks like a database lock. When we run the tests alone, they run fine.
How can we findout which tests were run just before the ones that are getting the timeout?
How do I create a custom Visual Studio 2008 UI designer for a C# file?
For example, when you double click on a DataSet in the Solution Explorer, a UI screen appears that allows you to edit the DataSet, even though it is defined in XML/code (which you can right click and "View Code").
Usually this code is separated from user code in some way, either by region ("Windows Forms Designer Generated Code"), by codegen (".g.cs" for WPF XAML files), or some other means like partial classes.

Sorry for newbie question, but
I saw there was some license file on ISO image and it tells it wont allow me to develop commercial software , but there was Free registration, and I think that after registration I can develop application on it for free .
Correct me if I'm not right or Tell me if I am :) thanks.
I am wondering what these greens things are in Visual Studio 2010. What are they for? They look pretty random but of course they have to have some meaning. Can any one tell me?
At first glance they don't mean any thing to me.

I recently started using a black theme for Visual Studio and love it. I would also like it if I could get all the panels to change colour to something more like the Expression suite of programs. Im guessing this is not possible in VS2008, but can it be done in VS2010 since it uses WPF?
Hello,
My Visual Studio solution file has lots of build configurations that significantly differ in which projects are enabled, and which are not. I'd like to automatically unload all projects that are turned off in active build configuration to save RAM and make VS faster. Is this possible?
im trying to interface a Gramin usb GPS to get the coordinates in a visual basic project, but i dont have an idea how to accomplish this, anyone point me out in the right direction please?
In Visual Studio 3 files are typically grouped together:
filename.aspx
filename.aspx.cs
filename.aspx.designer.cs
Is there a way to add another file that grouping so that it can be collapsed and out of view?
filename.aspx
filename.aspx.cs
filename.aspx.designer.cs
customfile.cs
Thanks
I have a very simple DLL written in unmanaged C++ that I access from my application. I recently switch to Visual Studio 2010, and the DLL went from 55k down to 35k with no code changes, and now it will no longer load in Windows 2000. I didn't change any code or compiler settings. I have my defines setup for 0x0500, which should include Windows 2000 support. Has anyone else run into this, or have any ideas of what I can do?
Hi,
I am using Visual Studio for a project and Drools.NET and Proxem Antelope both use a DLL IKVM.Runtime but they're both different versions. Thus I do not know what I'm supposed to do to accommodate both of these.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!

Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
The problem is that they both have the same name
In Visual Studio 2010 (RC) there is no longer a "browse with" context menu when right clicking .aspx pages. How can you change the default browser now?
By default it seems to use the operating system default browser, but I would prefer to use IE when debugging ASP.net apps. (I am testing this with ASP.net MVC 2)
By default, Visual Studio tooltips remain visible for 10 seconds and then they disappear. I find this time too short to read some of the longer tooltips. Is there a way to increase the time they remain visible?
What ways do I have for creating a unit test template like this? I'm using visual studio 2010 and Resharper 5.
using NUnit.Framework;
namespace SolutionName.Core
{
[TestFixture]
public class ClassNameTests
{
[Test]
public void test()
{
}
}
}
I am using Visual Studio 2005 with Team Foundation Server.
When I right click a file under the source control and choose "compare" VS appears to freeze until I hit escape. My guess is that the window that is supposed to be popping up is somewhere I can't get to. I tried minimizing all the windows that I can and it is nowhere to be found.
Hi there,
Recently I installed in Visual Studio 2010 the Power Tools Extension It's working great, however I have problems with my text coloring theme (Nightfall), and the extension's Colorized Parameter feature.
Since the theme text fore color is grey, when the Power Tools Extensions shows the Parameter Help tooltip using my text colors, it gets unreadable:
Is there a way to change Parameter Help background color?
When I change the target framework of any project in Visual Studio 2010 it does not actually change the System assembly references. For example if I target v2.0 and check the properties of System and System.Data I can see that they are still both v4.0. If i change the target to v3.5, System stays at v4.0 but System.Core changes to v3.5.
Because of this I am truly not targeting anything except v4.0.
I have an entry in my hosts file that points somesite.com to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) so that I can test certain aspects of my web app (i goto http://somesite.com in a browser to test). Can someone suggest a way to debug a setup like this (in visual studio) that does not include using http://localhost?
I understand that this can most likely be done using remote debugger, if that is the best way can someone explain how thats setup (or a link to a good article).
I am using Visual Studio to compile some C++ Code. When I compile my program in Debug mode it works perfectly, but when I try compiling it in Release mode, VS halts when Generating Code (ie: took 20 mins and still didn't finish). After I forced VS to stop the build process, the executable generated was huge 2MB while it should be about 304KB.
Please can you help figure this out. How should I setup the configuration parameters for Release mode to work?
Thanks,
When debugging in Visual Studio and you want to step into a procedure for example, but you dont want to step into the parameter methods.
Is there a way to do this?
var a = StepIntoSomething(getSomeValueDontStepIn(1),getSomeValueDontStepIn(2));
I get "operation cannot be completed" error when i tried repair or uninstall visual studio 2010 RC1...I tried restarting my computer and doing it couple of times...but it just does not let me do an repair or an uninstall and just hangs...after that and does nothing anyone has any ideas?
What steps are needed to target previous versions of the .NET framework in Visual Studio 2010? I installed VS and the .NET 2.0 SDK (from here), but only .NET 4.0 is in the list of available frameworks.
Any ideas what I'm missing?
Sorry if this has been asked.
Just like I can select in C# project that I want it to build for .NET 2.0 runtime, is it possible for native c++ project to be built against older CRT, let's say one from visual studio 2005?
I would like this because I have external SDK that was build with VS2005, but I'd like to use newer IDE.
