I have a main executable project and a dll project in VS 2008. Sometimes when I clean/rebuild the dll and then clean/rebuild the main project, the main project will not build because it says the dll is in use. Closing both projects resolves the issue. Why does this occur and how do I prevent it from happening? It is annoying having t...

I've set up a 64-bit TFS 2008 build server with Sharepoint, continuous integration and out-of-the-box MSTest. Unit tests for plain business logic classes run just fine and test results are published into TFS. However, any test that uses Sharepoint's API fails horribly, SPFarm.Local returning null and so on. Is there a way to fix this? T...

I recently switched over to C# from vb.NET and within visual studio found that hooking up events is extremely annoying. In VB I could select a control from a drop down on the top left and the event on the top right drop down and the method would automatically be created and attached to the control using "handles".
