What part of My Visual Studio Installation is listening on port 10000?
For no apparent reason, my instance of Visual Studio 2008 now listens on port 10000. This happens even if no project is open. Unfortunately, I need port 10000 for Azure development. Any ideas about why VS is now listening on 10000? EDIT: Could it be related to VSTS Profiling? I was tinkering with that a few days ago and might not ha...

Turn off Intellisense in VS 2008 for a single project
I have a project with about 1000 classes in it (no, there is no way to conveniently break this project into multiples). Just loading the project takes about 20 minutes as intellisense slowly chugs through all the classes, and eats almost 1gb of memory.

Visual Studio 2008 + Sql 2008 best practices
The basic problem is that upon trying to uninstall the default SQL 2005 express and install SQL 2008, it is no longer connectable through either Visual studio or the Management Studio. I think at this point (as I have been meaning to for sometime) a reinstall of Windows will be quicker than a repair. When I have Windows reinstalled, wha...

Automatic Checkout with TFS
I recently moved to a new client where the source control system is TFS 2008. I have been using Subversion for almost 4 years so this is quite a change for me. One of the first things I noticed is that every time I try to modify a file Visual Studio (2008) tells me that the file is read-only. I spoke to the guy in charge of TFS and he...
