To work with JS files in Visual Studio 2008, I did: Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> File Extensions and added js extension with Script editing experience. That works pretty much as expected apart from the following things: Syntax highlighting is set-up extremely slow (after 10 seconds or so) when I open the JS file. The compilin...

In the last few weeks, I've had two occasions where the debug process (vshost.exe) crashes due to an unhanded exception. The first was trying to use the Activator class to instantiate an object, I don't remember details, and today was trying to load a custom config section where I had erred in specifying the type for the section. In bo...

Is there any way to tell visual studio to not include a project when building the solution without just removing the project from the solution? The situation I have is that one project in a solution requires a plugin/tool/library that I don't have installed, but another developer on our team does. So when I try to build the solution, I...
If I try to add a tab to the toolbox and name it 'Clipboard Ring', I get an error message that says a tab by that name already exists. Is there any way to get it to display? ...
I want to see all of the current environment variables during a build. I'd like to do this in the pre or post-build steps if possible because I don't want to edit the Targets file. This could print to the Output window or to a file. I've tried a number of different ways without success. I'm using Visual Studio 2008. Thanks! ...
Greetings. I've got a web site project loaded into Visual Studio 2008. The .designer files for all of my ascx controls are not nested under the control in solution explorer, and when I reference something in that control in the code behind, I don't get intellisense. I've checked the csproj xml file, and the 'compile' elements appear...
I'm trying to "Entitify" some external table (which I don't administer) in order to use it within a MVC application and in principle I'm not being terribly successful with the attempt (VS2008 output): Error List [0 Errors] [0 Warnings] [1 Message] Description The table/view 'DATABASE.dbo.table' does not have a primary key defined and ...
I'm never going to create a Visual Basic Project. Can I remove these from my IDE? Too many times I've created a new project not realizing I've been defaulted to the Visual Basic Projects and mistakenly create a Visual Basic Project instead of the C# project I meant to create. ...
I wanted to see if I could bring this defunct open source project called MouseTool up to date with Windows Vista. It's a dwell-clicker to help people (like myself) who experience pain when they click the mouse. This software simulates a click when the mouse pauses at a location on the screen. It seems like no one has touched this proje...
Duplicate of: Getting assemblies to show in the .NET tab of Add Reference So, I'm using Visual C# 2008 Express Edition and I've just been on a bit of a detour as I found out that my assumption that the .NET tab of the 'Add Reference' dialog lists the contents of the GAC was incorrect. This was a bit of a problem for me as the assembly...
I am sorry this is perhaps a really stupid question. Forgive me because I come from a Java background and I am making an effort to learn .Net technologies. I am trying to follow the tutorial for an ASP.Net MVC website from their website and I get to the part where I need to make a new model. When I right click they say I must choose ADO...
I'm developing my own WinForms designer. It must be able to load existing custom form types. One of the issues I hit is forms without a default ctor: My code currently instantiates the form before it can load it into the designer, which requires a default ctor. OTOH, VS2008 is able to load such forms. I believe it doesn't actually insta...

I am developing in visual studio 2008 (new) and it would be convenient to to have an Enterprise Manager / SQL Server Development Studio like tool to manage the databases. I am wonder what other developers who don't have acccess to SSDS are using. ...
Microsoft documentation on Visual Studio states, that in order to open dump file, you need to do "File -> Open -> Project" routine. However, for some reason, in my case VS 2008 does not see dump files - there is no Dump files (.dmp; .mdmp) option in the files filter. Dmp extension is not associated with VS 2008 either. What could be wr...
Whenever I add a new class to a Visual Studio (C#) project, I get the following usings automatically: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; Additionally, the following DLL references are added if they weren't there already: System.Core System.Data System.Xml I'd like to prevent VS f...
I know that is good to switch to newer software, but what are the reasons which I can tell to people above me? In our department everyone has to code in the same IDE, so switching means for company buying approx. 10 upgrades and unless there is a good reason they are not very willing to do so (; We code in C++. ...
