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
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 :(
After creating a batch file in visualstudio, I get an error when I run it about invalid characters. Does anyone know the default character encoding for txt files?
When creating a new .resx file anywhere in my solution, I would like the following properties to be other than the default:
Copy to Output Directory: Copy if newer
Custom Tool namespace: Booking.Resources
Access Modifier: public
Is there any way I can change the default VisualStudio behavior on creation of these files, so I don't have to make the above changes manually each time?
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)?
I'm working on the upgrade of my c# visual express 2008 project to a newer version.
How do I manage this without having to copy the whole project directory and work into the copied directory project?
Hi,
I'm currently understanding one application developed both in visual basic and c#. Running through the code is getting tough as code is around 50KLOC. So i'm planning for generation of AST (abstract syntax tree). Will it be possible to generate for both language together.
Atleast a call graph generation will be helpful (but can't find any tool which works for both languages)
Please let me know if this question is confusing.
Thanks in Advance

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.
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
We are using VisualStudio 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?
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 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.

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?
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?

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.
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?
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 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()
{
}
}
}
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 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.
I am using VisualStudio 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,
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).
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?
