I wrote some classes that I use with many different projects. For example, I use Library.Controls.FlatButton.cs almost in every project. The problem is when I add this as an "existing item"; the class gets created/copied in my soultion folder everytime. And each time I edit/update the contents of that class, I have to update all the Libr...
Hi, As I'm learning WPF I came across quite a few examples, but mostly all of them have a disclamer like 'this is not production quality code', as they refer to a specific issue they're addressing. What I would like is to see how is WPF used in reallife, the application as a whole, so that in one example I can see all of the best pract...
Keeping properties of multiple Visual Studio projects manually in sync is annoying. So, how can you share properties between multiple projects? Edit: I refer to properties like conditional compilation symbols, treatment of warnings and errors etc., i.e., things you can configure in Project->Properties tabs or by editing the project XML...
When creating a website in Visual Studio 2010 (I think 2008 had the same behavior): File > New Website, VS creates the solution files in the Projects directory and the website in the Websites directory. What is the purpose? Why not just create the solution files under the Websites directory? ...
I'm trying to create an ASP.NET Web Application, but this is all I see: I have confirmed that I have the full Visual Studio installed, not just Visual C#. Why can't I see ASP.NET Web Application in the "new project" list? ...
I currently have a single solution that contains both the one application developed so far and projects for all of the homegrown libraries. This entire solution is also kept in a single Git repo. I am now going to be developing a second application that will make use of those same libraries. That application will have different releas...
Hi, I would like Visual Studio to automatically put my .h file in a folder /ProjectPath/include and my src file in /ProjectPath/src. That way, if I use the "Create class wizard" for instance, it would put the good path by default without me having to change the folder. Anyone know what setting I should change to get this behaviour when...
Let's say you have good separation of concerns for a given application such that you have all of your business logic in a single project (let's call it MyApp.Core) and that project has no explicit dependencies on other projects. The repository implementations are in MyApp.Infrastructure and the presentation is in MyApp.UI. Unit tests a...
In a simple web application project, when adding new controls to an *.aspx file, Visual Studio generates a corresponding declaration of that same control in the *.designer.cs file. This works well (at least most of the time, as some might know) ;-) Now, we have a more complex setup where we've decided to move all code-behind files to a ...
Direct Question: If I have two files with the same name (but in different directories), it appears that only Visual Studio 2005 can handle this transparently?? VS 2008 & 2010 require a bunch of tweaking? Aside from my naming convention, am I doing something wrong? Background: I'm developing C++ statistical libraries... I have two fo...
I have a project which is the core of our application. We build several DLLs and an EXE. We then have custom projects which use pre-built core DLLs and EXE and add customisations/extra bits as required. These customisations are always DLLs, the core EXE is always used. The core DLLs/EXE are referenced by the custom solution. I'm hav...
We have a lot of native C++ static libs and DLL's that make up our application. In VS2010 it is possible to use references for native C++ projects between the dependend projects to force the correct build order. We used to do this with project dependencies but they were stored at the solution level. We do not share solutions, only the p...
Direct Question: How do I create a simple hello world CUDA project within visual studio 2010? Background: I've written CUDA kernels. I'm intimately familiar with the .vcproj files from Visual Studio 2005 -- tweaked several by hand. In VS 2005, if I want to build a CUDA kernel, I add a custom build rule and then explicitly define the...
Hello, I am getting a bit confused about how an N Layered MVC application should look. I am thinking as standard there should be: ASP .NET MVC Project Service Layer Data Access Layer (containing repositories) I am confused as to where the entity framework model should sit (.edmx). Should it be in the Data Access Layer? Should any par...

I have solution sln, that has many csproj projects (P1.csproj, P2.csproj, P3.csproj...). anyone know a way to programmatically (using scripting-commandline, APIs, or SDKs) read the list of all csproj projects in a VS2008 of sln file? ...
Currently we have 12 WCF projects in our solution. Each project is essentially it's own endpoint. For example the "Order" WCF project is the Order.svc endpoint. These 12 endpoints are exposed by a single WebHost project. The WebHost project has 12 .svc files pointing to each corresponding assembly/namespace. My question revolves aro...
I'm using Vs2010 and Wix 3.6.0917.0, for the record. I use the $(SolutionDir) property quite a bit in my .wixproj file, since I only ever build the installer as part of a solution build or as part of a team build, and never by itself. However, while building from the command line works just fine (both from cmd on the desktop and when bui...
