Both Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008 is installed on my PC, but when I open a .aspx or .master file from Explorer, it opens in 2005. I would like them to open in 2008. I could change the file associations manually, but there are quite a lot of file extensions to go through. Is there an easy way to give all the file associat...

One of the designed feature is: when user left-clicks in the area of text editor or presses up or down key to move to a new line, the add-on can capture this event and then do something (It's similar as the "VA Outline" feature in Visual Assist, when you clicks to a ne...

I'd like to set the ClickOnce publish revision to the Subversion revision of the code's repository — e.g. 3.1.9.2453 for version 3.1.9, based on SVN r2453. Now, for the assembly version, I know I can use TortoiseSVN's SubWCRev.exe to generate AssemblyInfo classes that contain the build revision. However, it's not quite as simple with Cl...
It's very stange, but I moved from VS2005 to VS2008 (MFC, VC++) and now the recompiled program causes a BSOD or a reboot on XP SP2 (works ok on SP3 and above). It doesn't get to InitInstance. Has anyone experienced this and knows where to look to fix it? I'm tinkering with project settings at the moment, but unsuccessfully so far. Debu...

It's not a huge deal, but does slow me down a bit, especia...
I have a ashx file in a non web project in VS2008. The type of web project (stsdev that is used with Share Point) deploys the ashx file to the server. I can navigate to the file and it is there. In VS2008 when I try and put a break point in the ashx code it will not let me. This means when I connect to the WP3.exe process to remotely deb...
In Visual Studio 2008, when you add a new XAML window to a WPF Application Project, the default view you get is "split view" where the visual designer and the XAML code are shown one above the other in the same document. I prefer an alternative view which you can get by double-clicking on either the Design or XAML tabs. The visual desig...
