I know that Visual Studio 2008 support JavaScript intellisense as I am using it with Jquery. I am wondering if anyone has ever explored how to get other libraries like Dojo and Dijit to work with it as well. I would assume you would have to provide the ///reference tag to your custom code but would still need a vsdoc for visual studio ...
When creating a new database project with the Database Edition of Visual Studio, you can choose to create either a Database Project or a Server Project. What is the difference between the two? The resulting projects seem to be pretty much identical. The server project still seems to target a single database. (For the record, I'm using V...
I have a numericupdown control on a C# Windows Form, and am interested in adding a leading zero to its value if it is < 10. (It is for the user to enter the minutes value of a time.) I am not very familiar with overrides/inheriting yet in C# but it is looking as though I may have to do that. It looks like this post on EggheadCafe has t...
This could quite possibly be the dumbest question ever asked. Our client wants us to have a Solution file (one .sln and .suo) neatly put into 1 directory higher than the actual web project. And we don't even have a Web Project file, it's just a website setup in IIS that we open from Visual Studio (2008 in case it matters) by clicking o...
Occasionally (usually after having updated my .sln file in source control) I get a strange Visual Studio error wherein I'm unable to open some of my files. The files in question show up in the appropriate project, but trying to open them results in an error dialog saying "A file of that name is already open." This is virtually identical...
I am writing an app to print formatted data using Visual Studio 2008/C#. I have formatted the data in the fashion that I want it to display. I am using two Print Documents and event handlers, because the first page of the report carries formatting requirements that differs from pages 2 through N. Print Preview shows me properly formatt...
I'm adding some ASP.NET MVC pages to an existing ASP.NET Web Forms project. I've been able to port over some models, views, and controllers from an MVC project I created and they're working great. But I'd like to add some new "Strongly Typed" views to my project, but I don't get the New View Wizard in my Web Forms project. I'm a bi...
Is there an option somewhere in Visual Studio 2008, that when you "Add new item" he defaults the chosen save location in the window that pops up, to the directory of the currently active project ? For now, it just saves it to previous saved file location (usually the last project worked on). ...
For normal (say Windows Forms) C# applications, to execute commands after a successful build I would use the Build Events->Post-build event command line in Project Properties. I have a Web Site project which I "Publish", using the "Publish..." command in the context menu in the solution explorer. Is there a way to run commands after th...

Does anyone have the issue with Resharper where opening a solution with MVC projects causes Visual studio to close/crash? No Errors, no warning, just close. To fix the problem, I have to delete the bin and obj folders from the MVC project directory which allows the solution to be opened again. When the solution is loaded, sometimes ope...
Hi, I have added reference to few dlls in my VB.net Project. When I check into Visual source safe and get latest version from another machine, VS.net 2008 throws errors.

Service Reference namespace becomes unknown after I 'Update' the service reference. Has any one else encountered/resolved this issue? The changes I make to the Service Reference code are sometimes so minor, and always in method, never to the contract or anything and after update the service reference, VS2008 no longer recognizes the name...

Is this possible? ...

I'm trying to track down a bug that occurs when I click a particular element on an aspx page... In the past I've had to track down the class that handles that particular event and put a break point on the line that I think should be hit. Often it takes me several tries before I finally find the correct class....especially if the class i...
