It was a small applicaton that allowed you to enter the path, port number, and a "GO" button, and it launched the server stand...
In the Custom Actions editor I've added the custom action to Install and Uninstall stages of the process. In the properties window I've marked the CustomActionData property as : /TARGETDIR = "[TARGETDIR]" I'm hoping that the above passes the installation directory info into the custom action. The custom action seems to be firing, but...
Hi does anyone know of a way to split all classes in one solution into multiple files? The point here is that I've inherited a project in which a few hundred files contain a thousand or so classes... I'd like to be able to get to a 1 file per class approach.. Using resharper I can easily do this manually, but I'm guessing there must b...
Dear ladies and sirs. My project depends on a 3rd party assembly which defines debugger visualizers for some of its types. Usually this is totally fine, but some types have lazy logic, which becomes eager once the data is observed in the debugger. And when I wish to explore the lazy behavior all this visualizers completely screw it. I ...

I have written a .NET 2008 application, incorporating Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel, that modifies an existing Excel 2007 spreadsheet. It works perfectly on my WinXP development computer. When I upload the app to a Microsoft Web Server 2008, it opens the file and reads from the file, but when the app tries to save the file, it throws t...
I am currently debugging a project in VC6 (slowly porting it over to VS2008). The project links to a DLL that I have produced in VS2008 with a Debug build. (I know - a strange situation to find myself in.) I need to debug the project in VC6 and step into the calls to the DLL. Even though I have the PDB alongside the DLL, VC6 still repor...

These errors are seemlingly random, but they are getting so frequent that it is a serious productivity problem now: I have been starting to get...
Hi, How can you sort your projects within a solution folder. I have a solution with 3 soltion folders and in there I have several class libraries but they don't seem to be sorted by name but by creation. Is there a way to sort them by name?

Basically I'm wondering if I can save myself updating my code with System.Diagnostics.StopWatch, and somehow just get away with using the debugging features of VS (2008 in particular) I.e. if I put a breakpoint before and after my method call, and then 'run' it. Is there anyway to tell how long VS was running before it stopped again? (O...

There is my mistake in my code. Now I want to change this interface class Base { virtual const char * First() const = 0; ...
