I am trying to build a Web Deployment Project in Visual Studio 2008 and it keeps failing and I am not sure why. Error: ------ Build started: Project: website_deploy, Configuration: Release Any CPU ------ if exist ".\TempBuildDir\" rd /s /q ".\TempBuildDir\" 'C:\Documents' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable pr...
I have a C++ application that is built in Visual Studio (2008) and links to a Boost DLL. When debugging, it seems like I need to copy the Boost DLL into the debug folder so the exe I am running in the IDE can link to it. I could use a post-build step to copy the DLL, but I was wondering if there is a setting in Visual Studio that can giv...
Is there a way for my setup/installer poject to check that another program is installed on the machine before proceeding with the install process? I am using Visual Studio 2008. ...
In our project, we have about 70 C# Projects. We need to deploy the components to development server. I'm wondering if there is any standalone tool which aids this process, rather than building each project one by one, or creating a VS Solution containing all the projects. What I'm picturing is a simple application where I enter the .cs...
We are moving to an all-64-bit development environment. Unfortunately VS 2008 and, more importantly, its built-in web server, run in 32-bit mode. When debugging code that references 64-bit assemblies - Oracle.DataAccess, for example - we experience the dreaded System.BadImageFormatException. Can anyone offer any strategies for debugging...
I have a c++ and a c# project in Visual Studio 2008. The c++ project uses an API that was built in VS2005. I need that c++ project to reference the standard library files from VS2005. The order that the compiler searches the include directories keeps pointing to the include files from VS2008, specifically the vector file. It crashes ...
If you have already been prompted to migrate your solution from .NET 2.0 to .NET 3.5 and you responded "No" at the time, how do you get Visual Studio 2008 to re-prompt you with this question? Sorry, if there is a real simple solution to this one. ...
I want to create a Visual Studio 2008 project which contains some example code of how to use an API and then make the project available to download so others can just double-click the project, see the code and run the examples without making any changes. What files (e.g. .suo, .sln, bin & obj folders?) do I need to include so that peopl...
I'm using ReSharper 4.5 to execute my MSTest unit tests in VS2008. With each test run, it's creating files in this path: testProjectFolder\bin\Debug\TestResults How can I clean/delete those files from within Visual Studio? If I can't delete them from within Visual Studio, when can I expect them to be removed? EDIT: I see Visual Stu...
Ok I know about XAML Power Toys, and thats pretty cool, but still kind of cumbersome for me. I like code snippets in the C# code view, but I can't don't know how to do that in xaml designer. What other options do I have? Is there a simple way to add maybe code snippets? Instead of typing out all the column and row definitions of a grid...
I have a rather complex application that was originally built for Windows CE (using Visual Studio 2008, C# 2.0). I'm now trying to get it to run on a Windows Mobile device. There are a few UI quirks, however. I notice that the background color is all white and there doesn't appear to be any borders around a lot of the controls like th...

I would consider myself a fairly competent programmer with experience in Java and VB.net. My latest swim around the programming lake is having me modify a program written in C. (The program is Wireshark, an open source network analyzing tool.) I followed the instructions here http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.h...
Hello everyone, I have a problem that makes me tear every hair on my head for the past 2 days. I finally decided to give my laptop, dinosaurs running on XP to my mother, to join my wife's computer, runing under Vista. But I am facing a hard reality, I never work on Vista and now I must install my Visual Studio 2008 and I confess that I ...
I am in the HTML editor (building an ASP.NET MVC view) and coding up HTML. The editor is handy with intellisense for various attributes, but when I select whatever VS2008 offers, it never places double quotes around them, as HTML says you should. For instance: <head runat= offers server, but when I select it, I get: <head runat=s...
Normally in Access Reports i can make a Textfield and enter there =replace("Test&So","&"," "). Is this somehow in Crystal Reports (c# vs 2008) possible? Thanks! ...
Hi, I've installed coderush and wanted to refactor my code. I also tried to do some things they did in the introduction video. But the only way I get into the coderush intelliassist is the right-click context menu in the editor. Can you help me to change the short cut? By default the short cut should be CTRL + ' I'm using Windows 7 Pro...

I regularly (every few days or so) publish my ASP.NET web project to the local web server. But the weirdest thing keeps happening... a file called "app_offline.htm" keeps appearing, unbidden, in my web project! I have deleted this file several times, it is not in source control, and AFAIK nobody else is tampering with the project. But...
