Visual Studio builds the entire solution when I exit debug mode. This is very annoying as the solution contains 42 projects (ASP.NET MVC, IIS hosted WCF, Silverlight apps and others) and the build process locks Visual Studio for aprox. 30 seconds. What causes Visual Studio to do a full rebuild of the solution? Is there a setting that I...

I am creating a custom Label control (by simply Inheriting the standard Label control and re-painting the background and text) because I need a very specific background and border. In the constructor of the control, I set the AutoSize property to false so I can have a standard default size for the new label. Public Sub New() /*Se...
I have a Visual Studio 2008 project which contains 6 .NET assemblies projects, 2 Console Application project and an MSTest project.

I need to use some classes inside the app_code folder of a website project in visual studio 2008. I need to access this code from a class library project in the same solution. I cannot add a reference to the website, and I'm not sure of the easiest way to use the classes that already exist here. Do I need to move it to a class library...
I have a multi project solution in VS08. I just added a new Configuration called Release-VersionIncrement to the solution, specifying "use release" configuration as baseline.

I've got a class which inherits from a List<MagicBean>. It works well and as expected in all respects except one: when I add the [DebuggerDisplay] attribute. Even though looking at List has its as [DebuggerDisplay("Count = {Count}")], if I so much as copy and paste that onto mine, I lose the ability to look directly at all of the MagicBe...

For some reason when I open an instance of VS2008 to view a single file say a web.config file even when I make no changes and close the file I can't close VS2008 unless I save a dummy solution.
