Hi, I'd like to synchronize a VC++ 2010 project with a VC++ 2008 one. Is it even possible ? Basically, if I'm adding/deleting/renaming a file to a project in VS2010, I'd like it to be added/deleted/renamed to the corresponding VS2008 project. Project options synchronization would be awesome too, but not necessary. I don't need a solutio...

I have opened up projects I have previously had intellisense in in VS2008 on different machines, but I don't get intellisense for any asp: server control. I have intellisense for HTML markup, and I have it for the vsdoc version of jQuery on the same page th...
I'm generating quite a bit of code from a single XML file, but the templates are organized in two different T4 templates. Whenever I change the XML file, I have to remember to open the two *.tt files, change them trivially (add / delete a space) and save them again to make sure the code is generated. This can't be the right way to do it...

I have used the "Attach to process" function within VS 2008 many times, but never actually on a remote machine. Now I have to do it and I already read a bunch about it on the net. After playing around a bit I've reached a point where I am not quite sure how to proceed. First of all, here's a quick list of what I've done so far: Test mac...
I update my ClickOnce app and then when the user runs they are asked if they want to install the new version: I am working in a highly controlled environment. When an update is available it has to be installed (backwards compatibility with the database is not ensured with old versions). Another option is to fail the run if skip is p...

I've inherited a asp.net project and I'm finding that the code behind pages contain a lot of business logic. I've decided that in most cases it's better to leave the working code in place than try and do a massive refactoring. However there are pages that perform functionality that could be re-used in command line utilities for batch p...

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 for an ASP.NET web application. I've included a Web Deployment (Setup) project as part of the solution. Each time I rebuild my solution, the underlying .vdproj file changes. Specifically, MsmKey and OwnerKey values, which appear to GUIDs, are regenerated even though I didn't add any new references or other...
I am looking to deploy an ASP.NET MVC application using the Web Deployment Tool along the lines of this post. The way I've gotten that to work is by getting everything first working on localhost.

How is the app.config binding in .Net? Let's say if I have an application project referencing a class library project. The code ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MySetting"] in the class library project will read the value from app.config from the application project. Is my understanding correct? So how about if we have 2 class libra...
