Is it possible for me to do all this action in the MSI installer setup project of visual studio 2005. One option i have explored is using autoI...
There are a couple of things I find really annoying about Visual Studio. Admittedly, I have a old version so these might be fixed in later versions. I'm writing c++ stuff. Anyway here they are: 1) Is there anyway to clear all breakpoints? If I leave breakpoints set, they seem to multiply and get attached to adjacent lines as I add m...
I had the following code, which was basically, class foo { public: void method(); }; void foo::foo::method() { } I had accidentally added an extra foo:: in front of the definition of foo::method. This code compiled without warning using g++(ver 4.2.3), but errored out using Visual Studio 2005. I didn't have a namespace named ...

I'm trying to create a completely new database from an existing MySQL database, bringing over both data and schema, but so far the only way I've been able to do this is to first import the MySQL database into MS Access, and then into SQL Server 2005? Crazy right? Surely, there is a way that doesn't involve a tedious, custom time-consumin...
I get this annoying message everytime I try to run visual studio 2005(even using "Run as Administrator" gives same message). I have VS 2005 Professional with all the latest service packs installed including vs2005 SP1 and vs 2005 update for Vista. I am part of the administrators group on my machine. Still I have this problem. Some rea...

I've started working on an existing project at my company that was check into VSS 6.0 about a month ago. It was built using Visual Studio 2005 and C# and references all point to .NET 2.0.

I have some data Grid Views and I want the user to be able to keep changes he does to them. Not the Data changes, only the layout changes, like the width, the hight, the order of the columns and maybe the visibility of them. I don't care if it will be automatic or by clicking a button... Edit: I found a way to do this using Settings.I h...

I'm trying to add a .settings file in a windows form application by adding a (whatever) file in the project and have it named smthng.settings. Right after it is created, it crashes (if I look into the project's directory the file is there, but it's not "in" the project). Am I doing it wrong or could it be that the problem lies elsewhere?...
I have this VB ASP.NET Web Service Application project running VS 2005. I'm trying to add references. To do so I click on the "Properties" icon in the Solution Explorer window which presents me with a window to add/update/remove references. I click "Add", I select the reference I want and then "OK". Lo en behold, NOTHING! It simply won't...
Sorry this is probably a stupid question, as I couldn't find anything at all on google on the subject. Anyways I'm trying to compile some source code, that uses boost::array with visual studio 2005, as a Win32 console application (not clr), however for some reason that escapes me Visual Studio still considers the word array a keyword, so...
If I add a WindowEvents_WindowActivated handler to my Visual Studio 2005 Macros EnvironmentEvents module, I get a weird side-effect: when I click from one window to another in Visual Studio, that click is treated as a double click. So for instance, I put the focus in an editor window and click a file in Solution Explorer, and the file o...

Currently, I keep a separate copy called app.config.production, and manually overwrite bin\Release\Application.exe.config after building for release. ...
I have downloaded a .net source code from the Internet. The source code has 2 projects. First is a Windows class lib. Second is a WeSite project whose name is [http://localhost/WebDemoCS]. When I run the Web Site, VS2005 searches that location and finds nothing. So the WebSite is not run. How can I change this setting so that I can...
If I start my self written app from the explorer it works fine. If I try to start it in visual studio(F5), it crashes at some point. It is also not dependant on the working directory! It is quite annoying, because I cannot debug that way. (I could try attaching to the process after launch, but....) Can anyone point me into a direction...

Hey all! I converted my 2.0 site to 3.5 so I can take advantage of using LINQ. It converted the solution to 2008 okay, but the only project/site I can use LINQ in is the UI [web site]. All the sub projects (Business, Data, Model, Utility) can't add a reference to System.Core. It's greyed out. So, I can't add the namespace System.Linq to ...
