I'm currently working in an environment that still has VSS 2005. I currently do not have the power to change to Subversion, TFS, etc. What are the main gotchas to watch out for with VSS 2005--how can I best use it to try and save my versions and not blow up my source code? For example, is it better to integrate it with Visual Studio...

But when I try to open some of them on the new laptop, I quickly get a dialog stating that the vb compiler has crashed and asking me if I want to close, debug, or check online for solutions. Visual studio then, frustratingly, clos...

Is there an easy way to check in a unit test that two arrays are equal (that is, have the same number of elements, and each element is the same?). In Java, I would use assertArrayEquals (foo, bar);, but there seems to be no equivalent for C#. I tried Assert.AreEqual(new string[]{"a", "b"}, MyFunc("ab"));, but even though the function re...

Does anybody know if there is a shortcut or something similar for changing the font size in the editor in Visual Studio 2008? What I mean is something like Ctrl + MouseWheel as in FireFox. Accessing the Options window and then selecting Environment > Fonts and Colors is fine if you don't have to change the font size all the time, but i...

I've been reading about how SVN works with Visual Studio. I'm using VS 2008 and worried about possible problems of using SVN with VS 2008. Can anyone share their experience with SVN + VS 2008?

Just hit 'pause', look at the currently running threads, and find the deadlock (or whatever else). But now I'm running into a situation where not only does the program hang, but trying to pause it causes visual studio i...
