While trying to build two fairly big projects solution on Visual Studio 2008 (2 projects: 6686 files), and after making sure that everything is OK, my projects wouldn't build.

I recently got a job working for a company who uses several programming languages but mainly focuses on C#, and thus uses Visual Studio 2008. As lame as it sounds, I don't know how to use it productively. I don't know any of the keyboard shortcuts, I didn't know you could restrict builds to certain parts of a solution until someone sho...

It's pretty difficult to explain in a si...
