I have a Windows Mobile application in which I want to check the device orientation. Therefore I wrote the following property in one of my forms: internal static Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.ScreenOrientation DeviceOriginalOrientation { get; private set; } The strange thing is that after that whenever I open a UserControl, the designer s...

I am using some 3rd party libraries in my solution and have saved these in a separate source-controlled folder called 3rdParty. I have added references to the DLLs in this folder from the VS2008 IDE.

One of the things I like about the Java IDEs out there is that they typically have the ability to allow a user to right-click on an Ant file and run one of the targets. I've got an msbuild file in my solution that is used for migrating the application database, and would kill to be able to right-click on it, select "update" or "rollback...

Randomly and without warning (or apparent reason), VS 2008 decided to act as if debugging was working just like it always does, except for the fact that my application window never shows up on the screen. I’d been running my app from VS all morning, and I don’t see what I could possibly have changed that would make my window no longer sh...
Is there a way I can show the progress of a single TestMethod In Visual Studio 2008 ? Within a set of unit tests, I have a single TestMethod that runs for a very, very long time - normally it will take between 30 and 60 minutes. I've set the Timeout using the [Timeout] attribute, no problem there. But I'd like to be able to get a visu...
Thinking about installing Visual Studio on my Asus eee 1000HE. Since it is not a very powerful machine, I am wondering if I should install 2008 or the new 2010. Looks like there has been a lot of changes done to the UI, etc. Does that mean that it now runs smoother as well? Or is it actually heavier to run? ...
I am using VS 2008 and trying to step into a stored procedure on a SQL Server 2005 database. I bring up Server Explorer, double-click on the procedure. It comes up in the text window. I set a break point in it, right click and select "Step into stored procedure". It comes back with "canceled by user". MSVSCOM.exe is running on the SQL Se...

I am pretty new to C# and I am pretty sure this function can be radically improved: public static Boolean SuffixExists(String strWhole, String sufx) { int iLen = sufx.Length; if (iLen > 0) { String s; s = strWhole.Substring(strWhole.Length - iLen, iLen); if (sufx != s) retu...
