When I have an unconnected mapped drive, the VSTS 2008 SP1 IDE debugger takes about 10 seconds to regain control. Needless to say single stepping is painful. Is there some setting to make this go away? I am debugging a mixed( C# / C++ / Web services ) program. More details: The program does not use the mapped drive at all. I use th...
I launch my program in C#, which then calls some unmanaged C++. When I break on a line in the unmanaged C++, the 'New Data Breakpoint' menu item is grayed out. Is there anyway around this? ...

Has anybody else had trouble with getting the .Net Framework source code? Google doesn't have anything to say about this error message, and neither does the CodePlex issue tracker. Here is the command I'm using to get the source code for the modules that make up mscorlib.dll. Am I doing something obviously wrong? NetMassDownloader.ex...
Hi, Big problem. I'm not sure what it was that I did, but it seems that I can no longer debug into functions. It happens in no particular place, just all throughout the code. I set a breakpoint, and then try to "step over" in order to go to the next like of code. Now, the debugger seems to interpret that as "continue". Even better!...
I currently use notepad to store little notes to myself about my code. This is usually a mixture of code and requirements. Is there a 'scratch pad' type window in VS2008 where i could do this. The other alternative is to use code comment blocks in the source files, but that's not quite what I'm looking for. ...

I found a bug in the method stub generation of Visual Studio intellisense. class A { } class B : A { A a; void f() { a.NewMethod(); } } When I choose "Generate Method Stub" on a.NewMethod(), I should get a public method. Instead, intellisense confuses itself and creates a protected method for me. The compiler correctly compla...

Exactly what the title says. I'm using MSVC++ 2008 express, and my class constructor is never executed when compiled in release mode. It DOES work in debug mode. I am doing something like: ClassTest test; test.DoIt(); Breakpoints on DoIt(); trigger, but breakpoints on ClassTest::ClassTest(); do not. ...
I was browsing the Hidden Features of C# question and thought I would try out one of the features I was unfamiliar with. Unfortunately I use Visual Studio 2005 and the feature in question was introduced later. Is there a good list for new features in C# 3.0 (Visual Studio 2008) vs. C# 2.0 (Visual Studio 2005)? ...
I changed the output path of the test project, because the default path doesn't conform to our projects directory structure. After I did that, Visual Studio 2008 fails to run the tests, because it can't find the Unit Test project assembly. What else do I have to change for the Unit Test Engine to find the assembly? ...
Im currently working on a PPC application that I would like to test in the PPC emulator "USA Windows mobile 5.0 PC R2 Emulator" without using Active Sync. Somewhere in my back head I think I have been able to just do that: But when I start a debug session with Visual Studio, it can not deploy the application to the emulator. All I get in...
Hi, Is it possible to run the 32-bit version of Visual Studio 2008 Professional on a Windows Vista 64-bit system? Are there any known caveats that I would need to be aware of? Would have to install the x64 version of the .NET Framework? Would there be any issues on building software targeted for x86? Would there be any (justifiable) ...
So today I had to move some tables with data from an MS Access database into XML to be used in a web application. So I thought it would be an easy process to define the table structure as an XSD file in Visual Studio, then load in the data (for the sake of simplicity, lets say I would type it in). Well for the life of me I can't figure...
