I have an old Borland project which I would like to port to VS2008. Is there any way to dump, in a human readable format, the source file, compile options and dependency information from a .ide file? I'd like something a bit more comprehensive than the 'Generate Makefile' option. ...
We are currently working in a team where we use both Visual Studio and Code::Blocks, is there a way to replicate changes between those project files? So if one adds a file to the project file it will also get adjusted in the project file of the other IDE? Please note: We want our project to work on multiple IDE's, platforms and compiler...
Dashcode keeps source files in a ".dcproj" project file, which is really a package to OS X, which in turn is actually nothing more than a directory structure. I'd like to continue to use Dashcode but without the "convenience" of the ".dcproj" structure. Why? I want to... check the source code into Mercurial use TextMate when develop...

If you are doing XNA Programming, you have an option in the context menu for your project similar to "Create Copy of Project For Windows" or "Create Copy of Project for XBox360". I would like to add the same functionality to extend VS.NET to duplicate a current project but target a different platform for an effort I'm working on. Is th...

Objective: I have a list of header files (about 50 of them), And each header-file has few arrays with constant elements. I need to write a program to count the elements of the array. And create some other form of output (which will be used by the hardware group). My solution: I included all the 50 odd files and wrote an application. An...
I upgraded my work box from Vista64 to Win7-64 by doing a format and reinstall. I kept backups of the project done in MS Visual Studio 2008 (Team). But now it won't compile. I am getting errors generated on lines in the MS created header files like "'_In_' not defined" etc. I know it is because I lost some compiler setting/directive. I w...
In our company we have a discussion whether to put project files into our RCS. What do you think? Consider an Eclipse project file for a C project that contain source and make files and other things. Would you put it into RCS? ...
Visual Studio projects assumes all files belonging to the project are situated in the same directory as the project file, or one underneath it. For a particular project (in the non-Visual Studio sense) this is not what I want. I want to store the MSVC-specific files in another folder, because there might be other ways to build the appli...
I need to install OpenCV on Win32. I do not have it installed currently. I downloaded OpenCV-2.0.0a-win32.exe and ran it. What the heck do I do now? There are no .lib's and whatnot. I found some instructions for building the release using cmake at http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/InstallGuide . I downloaded the latest and greates...
Hi folks, we have a solution with multiple projects that is being developed by a team of developers. Project paths in the solution file checked in initially contains the path that are specific to that developer. Now when another dev gets latest of the solution, some of the projects won't load as the path differs. What's a better way to ...
In our team we have a database project in visual Studio 2008 which is under source control by Team Foundation Server. Every two weeks or so, after one co-worker checks in, the project file won't load on the other developers machines. The error message is: The project file could not be loaded. Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1...

I have two Qt4 Gui Application projects and one shared library project, all referenced under a .pro file with the "subdirs" template. So, it's like: exampleapp.pro app1.pro app2.pro sharedlib.pro Now, what I want to do is reference sharedlib from app1 and app2 so that every time I run app1.exe, I don't have to manually copy sharedl...
I work on a large project where all the source files are stored in a version control except the project files. This was the lead developer's decision. His reasoning was: Its to time consuming to reconcile the differences among developers' working directories. It allows developers to work independently until their changes are stable I...
If I add a new file to a project under TFS source control, it will check out the project file and the corresponding .vspscc file for that project file. The project file itself changes (to include the new file), but the .vspscc file doesn't change at all. Why bother checking it out? Is there a way to disable it from being checked out and ...
In the early stages of a project when lots of files are being added and the project is being worked on by more than one person concurrently, Xcode project files tend to come into conflict often under source control. Merging those is a pain and often results in lost file references if you're not careful. Has anyone worked out a tried an...

By default in VS 2008 there is an option under project -> properties -> device Devices called "Deploy the latest version of the .NET Compact Framework (including Service Packs)". W...
