Convert Visual Studio project to ASP.NET MVC

I have a visual studio project which is an ASP.NET MVC project, however it doesn't recognize it as such in Visual Studio so I don't get the nice dropdowns with Add View and such. Rather I just get a very plain add file dialog which doesn't include any MVC file templates. When I create a new MVC project however I get all the nice little V...

How to add a file to source control when manually editing a project file?

I'm using code generation and would like to automatically add the newly generated files into the project file after the generation is complete. If I add the files by modifying the project file, they don't get the plus icon next to them like when add them through the IDE. As a result, they don't get added to source control when I check th...

Web-Developer's Project Template Directory

IMPORTANT: The accepted answer was accepted post-bounty, not necessarily because I felt it was the best answer. I find myself doing things over and over when starting new projects. I create a folder, with sub-folders and then copy over some standard items like a css reset file, famfamfam icons, jquery, etc. This got me thinking what ...

Testers in Software Development

In my company we develop a software product. Until now we haven't had any testers, so basically the developers were the testers, and of course the customer and users (not good). Our team now consists of 4 developers and we work mainly with Cruisecontrol, Flex, ASP.NET, IIS, MSSQLServer and WebORB. I am urging the managers to hire a test...

What project would you recommend me to get up to speed with C++

I know that C++ is a very complex language that takes many years of practice to master. Taking that into account do you know of a small project (around a 1k of loc) that tests all of C++ major features (inheritance, pointers, memory management, etc). The thing is I'm a Java/Python programmer and I really want to learn C++ so I've been st...

Suggestions for maintaining Visual Studio vcproj project files in version control

Microsoft Visual Studio uses XML to save its .vcproj project files. So diffing XML project files should be easily. Unfortunately, if you change any of the project file's properties, Visual Studio insists on randomly shuffling the XML nodes of the project file! This makes textual diffing and merging of project file changes basically impo...

How do you name your software projects?

I'm starting a new project and having a terrible time coming up with a name for it. While researching something, I came across this blog post, which suggested using a random word generator. I thought that was a great idea, so I gave it a try and got 'something' right off the bat. I hit the generate button a few more times with more spect...

When the lead developer is convinced the project will fail

What is there to do when the lead developer is convinced the project will fail? This happened to me recently on a project, and I wound up losing my job, because I spoke up.
