How To Save a File from Visual C++ in UNIX Format
Unfortunately it seems to be the only way to save files in Unix format by default.
Personally I use Advance Save option in Save File dialog. But to be hones I never have a need to work with large number of files in Unix format from MSVS.

Visual Studio 2008 doesn't retain the advanced save options after the solution is closed. I would be willing to hand edit a lot of files if that would make it work consistently, but I am not willing to change all of the settings every time I open VS.
This is too bad. Since VS does support forcing the line-endings to whatever is desired in the backend, its just not hooked up properly in the UI. Maybe Microsoft will fix this isn a service pack.

There'a an add-in for Visual Studio 2008 that converts the end of line format when a file is saved. You can download it here: http://grebulon.com/software/stripem.php
IMHO, this should be the chosen answer to this posted.
