In Visual Studio, I can select the "Treat warnings as errors" option to prevent my code from compiling if there are any warnings. Our team uses this option, but there are two warnings we would like to keep as warnings. There is an option to suppress warnings, but we DO want them to show up as warnings, so that won't work. It appears t...

I've installed an OpenType font on my development machine expecting to then be able to choose that font for a label on a form. The font is available in MS Word so I'm reasonably confident it was installed ok, but I can't see the font in the font-picker dialog for the label in Visual Studio. I also checked the font settings in Tools > O...
When I right-click a solution in VS2008 and select Check In... I am presented with a list of changed files with check boxes and a comment area. (This is done against TFS.)

I'm currently running Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition and one of the items they cut out for that edition is the unit testing capability. As a result, when I open up example projects like the MVC commerce test, one of the projects just won't load since it doesn't know to open that type of project. I know I can just exclude or remove ...
My solution includes these two projects: MyNamespace.Web.UI MyNamespace.Web.Core UI references Core, and Core references Foobar.dll, which exists nowhere except my library. When I build from Visual Studio 2008 Foobar.dll is in the UI project's Bin folder as expected. I have made certain it was not there before the build. But whe...
I have VS2008 with .NET 3.5 SP1 (vs has SP1 too of course). I have loaded the latest silverlight tools.. and it went through and un-installed any beta stuff..

I am using a custom colour scheme in Visual Studio 2008. The annotate bar (that shows who checked each block of code in and when) is rendering in some illegible colours.
