I know that VS 2008 Team Edition has a profiler, but I'm also aware of the recent trend they have at Microsoft of completely ignoring unmanaged languages (what's the last time unmanaged C++ got something cool in the IDE?!).. For example I know for a fact that the IDE "Unit Tests" and "Code Metrics" features don't work with unmanaged code...
I just installed Visual Studio 2008 TS and SQL Server 2005 Enterprise and I get a bunch on Office 2007 updates in Windows Update. I don't even have office installed.

I have a c# Visual Studio app. I connected to an existing SQL Server 2008 database and the Studio created a local cache (.sdf file) for me, caching all existing tables. Now I added 2 additional tables the the SQL Server database and want to update my DataSet with these, but the wizard does not allow me to select the new tables as being ...
I've got code like this in an .aspx file: <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> function init() { <%= x %> } It works fine (x is a string that will be bound to some JavaScript at runtime), but when compiling I get an "Expected expression" warning on the <%= I know it's not the nicest code in the world, but there...
I recently installed Visual Studio 2010, and since installing that I can no longer connect to my local IIS. I didn't change any settings or touch anything in IIS what so ever. I cannot connect manually, nor with Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Studio 2008 Team System. Everything just gets the Unable to Connect problem. I have never face...
I'm trying to install Windows 7 64bit (as oppose to 32bit), mainly because large amount of RAM would be wasted otherwise. I wonder if I should install Visual Studio 2008 32bit OR 64bit. I also uses Qt 4.5/4.6 for development, does it play well in 64bit environment? Any suggestions on what will be a most recommended configuration? ...
Editing with Visual Studio 2008 over Remote Desktop Connection is an insane exercise in patience, as the screen paints and repaints and repaints and flashes like crazy. Is there any easy fix for this? Both sides are running Windows 7. Vanilla Visual Studio, without anything installed. Literally every keystroke results in the whole wind...

I am messing with a very big solution in Visual C++ 2008 (150+ projects), and by browsing the code with the useful "Go to Definition/Declaration" feature, I end up in C files, but I don't know in which project they belong ... So here's my question : Is there a way to know the projects referencing a given file in a visual C++ solution ? ...
I’ve been asked to list all the names and version numbers of all the services, executables and dlls that make up my project. We need to keep a record of this for each release. Is there a tool in Visual Studio that will generate a report or log automatically ? If not, does anyone have a possible solution ? ...

I have a seemingly innocent code snippet, which I typed into Visual Studio 2008 Immediate Window. ? results.Join(lstDocs, Function(docID) docID) Evaluation of lambda expressions is not valid in the debugger. As the message says, it's not possible to call a lambda expression in the debugger. Why is it not allowed? ...
This very well my be a SuperUser.com question, however it's directly related to my programming environment so I thought I would ask here to see if another developer has solved this issue. I would like to add my most commonly opened solutions to my Jump List for Visual Studio 2008 in Windows 7. I've fiddled with the recommended methods o...
In Visual C# I can rename an entity at its definition, and with two clicks all references to that entity get updated. How do I do this in Visual C++? If it's not supported, is there another IDE that supports it? Note that in the C++ case I also want automatic header/implementation synchronization, so I hardly ever need to do duplicate w...
I switched over to a dark visual studio theme a couple months ago. I think it helps a lot with strain and I've noticed I get less headaches. However, when I'm debugging and I hit a finally block it highlights the try and finally block with a white background which drowns out all my code. Anyone know how to change what color VS uses to hi...
This and this. "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\crt\src\sstream" "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\include\sstream" And the files have small differences. Why 2 files ? Thank you. ...
I would like to implement a custom debugger visualiser in vs2008 for a typical array as the standard one does not display the data as I would like it. However Visual Studio prevents doing this for arrays for security reasons. I seem to remember though reading about using a WeakReference as a wrapper object to get around this limitation....

I have already started a project and would like to add forms to it with MFC. How do you do this? I tried setting it to use mfc but it still doesn't allow me to add mfc classes(it says it isn't an mfc project). Also is there any GUI library that works sorta like .net? Maybe it is because I haven't used MFC too much but I don't care for h...
We can switch to different .NET Framework target in Visual Studio after 2008. I have a project, and I want to build 2 different target Frameworks assembly of it. If my target Framework is 2.0, I want it to build some code, and when I switch to another target Framework, I want it to build another code fragment to use some new functions. ...
