How does Entity Framework work with recursive hierarchies? Include() seems not to work with it.
I have an Item. Item has a Category. Category has ID, Name, Parent and Children. Parent and Children are categories also. When I do a linq to entities query for a specific Item, it doesn't return the related Category, unless I use the Include("Category") method. But it doesn't bring the full category, with its parent and children. I co...
Missing Properties option in VS 2008
Hi, in trying to fix a different problem in VS 2008 I've been instructed to go to the 'web' tab which is found by right clicking on the project in the solution explorer and going to 'properties'.

In VS2008, for FTP Publishing of a website, is there a way to save FTP Logon password?
I like the Visual Studio 2008 IDE integrated (not command line) feature to choose to publish an ASP.NET website to my webserver via FTP. I'm able to store my FTP username but I don't see any option to store my FTP password and so I must type it in each time I publish.

Why does Visual Studio hog my other programs' hot keys?
I have found, consistently, that if I use something like Switcher (highly recommended), or Toastify (both are programs that rely on the use of global hot keys to work) that when Visual Studio 2008 has focus none of the hot keys for the other applications work. Does anyone know why this might be and how to fix it? ...
