When I run my mbunit tests in Visual Studio test runner (VS 2008) my tests pass but the test summary does not include the passed tests. For a test, I created a test project with a single test and this is the test summary VS returns when I run it: Run Result: 0/1 tests passed, 0 failed, 1 skipped But the test is shown as passed in the T...

Hi all, I have a pretty serious multithreaded debugging problem. I have some kind of timing issue when interacting with a serial device, and I need to track it down.

I need to iterate a collection of objects. Based on a property value of the object, I need to group objects together. I also need a total count of each discrete property value. I do not know how many groups there will be and there could be 1 to n objects in each group. How do I do this? Are there algortihms that could help me out with t...

There are tons of great examples of creating work items using the TFS API, which is all packaged as part of the VS 2008 SDK. So, imagine I've created a simple web service that takes a few bits of information, then creates a work item. Everything works wonderfully locally, but what if I want to deploy that web service somewhere else? L...
I use Visual Studio 2008 primarily for web development, and there's one annoying behaviour which seems to have occurred ever since I upgraded to IE8 on my work PC: When I set a start page for a web site or web application project, and then either click the "Start Without Debugging" icon in the toolbar or use the keyboard shortcut CTRL-F...

When doing Unit Testing, is there a way to tell the [TestClass()] to execute one [TestMethod()] by one? (Instead of Visual Studio to start multiple thread). This would be required for only one or two of my testing classes. ...
Sometime, when the Unit Test of a class has been done and method use _Accessor while the code has changed. What ever you compile many time it still doesn't "synchronize" the _Accessor file.

Short version- is there a way to turn off Visual Studio Intellisense for the object keyword. Long version- I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and I'm basically using anonymous types.

Is there some way to enable Visual Studio 2008 to accept dropped files from Windows explorer? I can't count the number of times I've instinctively dragged a file into VS just to be reminded of this obvious feature than seems to be missing. Surely there has to be some way to do this. EDIT I did find the VS Explorer addin while searc...

I want to allow Visual Studio to keep auto formatting my code as it is, except for this part: public SomeClass : BaseClass { public SomeClass() : base() { } } Why can't I have it look like this instead: public SomeClass : BaseClass ...

It's pretty easy to use a library in VC++ 2008 if you create a project for it and build it alongside the other projects in your solution, but what if the library has too complex of a build process and must be compiled separately via makefile? My library is like that, and while I've had no problem compiling it on the command line, I have...
