Projects suddenly missing in C# solution.
Noticed a strange thing today. I'm working on a solution that has about 20 projects in it - mostly DLL, three WinFowms applications. It is several years old, was started under .Net Framework 1.1 and then successfully migrated under .Net 2.0 and is now opened in VS2008. Today I noticed that some of its projects just disappeared from the...

Looking for Suggestions on Microsoft Visual Studio Solution and Project Naming Conventions
There doesn't seem to be any tried and true set of best practices to guide you on how to setup your solutions, projects and the assemblies they output. Microsoft seemed to have tried back in the VS.net days, but they have since retired this content. For every method I read about I read another that claims the opposite is better, or a pos...
Is there a simple way to switch between a project and it's dll
We often have a set of common core libraries that for some of our development we want to think of them as dll references and thus just reference the dlls and not include the project file. Other times we need all projects for an intimate debugging session. I can't just have Uber.sln and Core.sln as the references are in the project file...

How do I organize .NET solutions, projects, and system folders for multiple applications?

Different apps include different capability depending on what our different customers will pay for. So, how do we go about organizing things? MSDN says to organize in the foll...
How to merge web.configs for ASP.NET MVC and plain ASP.NET app
Merging the web.config files of a legacy ASP.NET App and a new MVC app has pretty much defeated me. Is there a way I can build my solutions with projects sectioned off into subfolders? EG (each project to have its own web.config): ~/PlainVanilla/ /* original asp.net app - still some life in old dogs */ ~/PlainVanilla/StrawberryMV...
Visual Studio 2010 - How to use System Environment Variables?
Hello All, I'd really appreciate some help or ideas on a very frustrating issue. In my experience it seems that any time I need to organize or update my solutions/projects, I realize how buggy and poor the program actually is. I always end up having to find a hack or run into a nasty trial by failure that forces me start from scratch ...

Debug and Release configurations
As we all know, in Visual Studio there are two predefined configurations - Debug and Release. I have been using them since I started programming and soon learnt their differences. However recently I had to create my own configurations and now I have a question: Are those two configurations defined/determined solely by their parameters/op...
Why Visual Studio doesn't adds AspNetCompiler settings in solution file for configurations different from standard (Release/Debug)?
I have 3 build configurations for my solution: Release, Debug, and Custom. Also I have WebSite (yes, not a WebApplication) project type. By default, when you create WebSite VisualStudio 2008 adds to the solution file following sections: Debug.AspNetCompiler.VirtualPath = "/MyWebSite" Debug.AspNetCompiler.PhysicalPath = "MyWebSite\" Debu...

Is there a system that I can use to update my projects on my VPS?

How (and when) do I use TFS with private DLLs that can also be served by NuGet/NuPack?
We have a couple of private "Enterprise Services" DLLS that are used in all our Websites for authentication, logging, etc. Since they are private, we also control the versioning and source of these DLLs. Our historic (error prone) steps after creating File | New Project include Add the "Enterprise Services" project Add a reference t...
