I travel a bit and I'm looking for a hosted vcs with good support for VisualStudio. 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 VisualStudio 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)?
How do I create a custom VisualStudio 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.
Gah! this is really causing me hassle today. Suddenly without warning '@' (at symbol) and '"' (double quote) are trading places on my keyboard but ONLY in VisualStudio 2008 !!!
I can't seem to find anything in help or online to explain/remedy this. Is there some keyboard shortcut I am inadvertantly executing??
I rebooted my PC and it went away for an hour or two and then suddenly came back.
Oh the insanity :(
I am wondering what these greens things are in VisualStudio 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.

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?
Hello,
My VisualStudio 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?
I recently started using a black theme for VisualStudio 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?
I have a very simple DLL written in unmanaged C++ that I access from my application. I recently switch to VisualStudio 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 VisualStudio 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!
Error:
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
The problem is that they both have the same name
In VisualStudio 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 am using VisualStudio 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.
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 visualstudio 2005?
I would like this because I have external SDK that was build with VS2005, but I'd like to use newer IDE.
When I change the target framework of any project in VisualStudio 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.
In VisualStudio 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)
What ways do I have for creating a unit test template like this? I'm using visualstudio 2010 and Resharper 5.
using NUnit.Framework;
namespace SolutionName.Core
{
[TestFixture]
public class ClassNameTests
{
[Test]
public void test()
{
}
}
}
Hi there,
Recently I installed in VisualStudio 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?
By default, VisualStudio 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?
I get "operation cannot be completed" error when i tried repair or uninstall visualstudio 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 VisualStudio 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?
This is probably just a setting I'm not seeing, but when I get a stack trace out of VisualStudio's exception helper dialog, it has \r\n after each "line" in the call stack. When I copy this and paste it into Notepad++, it shows up as literally \r\n, visible in the document. Of course I'd like these to be interpreted as CR LF, so everything's on a different line.
Anyone know how to do this?
I'd like to see all the asm produced by VisualStudio C++ to learn a bit about ASM, compilers, etc. I know with GCC, you can do it with the -S argument, but not in VS. How do I go about doing this?
Is there any equivalent of the VS7/8/9/10 Edit - Advanced - Format Document (Ctrl+K,Ctrl+D) function in VisualStudio 6 (specifically VB6)?
I've inherited an old codebase and it is messy in places so I'd like to tidy it up.
Just installed the trial version of VisualStudio 2010 RTM.
Now I keep getting :
The name 'NoPanel' does not exist in the current context
Errors (where no panel is just about any control in the .aspx file)
also I got several errors trying to deploy pages and it would not send the .cs file over ...or pdfs in the Content directory (even though I had copy always set)...
This is happening on a pair of mixed ASP.NET MVC and Webforms sites.
