They still work in C#. They work in o...

Sometimes my c++ program crashes in debug mode, and what I got is a message box saying that an assertion failed in some of the internal memory management routines (accessing unallocated memory etc.).

At present it seems that VS2008 still isn't supported either in the 5.1.5 release or in the STLPort CVS repository. If someone has already done this work then it would be useful to share, if possible :) Likewise it would be useful to know about the changes required for a VS2005 or 2008 x64 build. ...

My Google-fu is failing me on this question. I have a coworker who has Visual Studio 2005 on his machine. I have Visual Studio 2008. He wants to open a project I wrote in C# 3.0, and we've gotten that far, but VS2005 barfs on the 3.0 code, like var. He has the 3.0 and 3.5 frameworks installed, as well as the Visual Studio 2005 Extensio...
I want to keep multiple web site projects in one solution and I want to publish them all together in one folder. What are the steps to do that? Can I publish the whole solution?

Is it possible to create Windows CE 5.0 images (ie: nk.bin) from VS2005/VS2008 without using Platform Builder? If so, how? Can a vendor BSP for WinCE 5 be loaded into VS2005/2008? Are there the parts to do this available for download from Microsoft (ie: the SDK), or must you buy the special bits (a la PB) from a "special distributor"?...
Hello all, Running VS2003/05 under Vista makes the former screw up the display at least 50% of the time - you start debugging, VS kicks in and you see the windows/docking panes screwed up, not refreshing, etc...

We have been given the directive to make sure that when we develop we are running out of the administrator and poweruser groups to prevent security holes. What are the steps to take to make this possible, but still be able to debug, code, and install when needed? We develop ASP.NET as well as VB.NET applications. Thanks! Brooke Jac...
