I've been tasked with researching some .NET code that isn't mine. It's a little hard to figure out because there are so many hooks in different areas. In other words, everything seems to be very highly coupled. I'd like to be able to do the following: Very easily see a hierarchical (tree) view of projects and their direct dependencies...
I need to load test a server that supports WebSphere MQ, web service and MSMQ interfaces. Currently I use proprietary load drivers for testing via WebSphere MQ and the web service, and we don't currently test MSMQ (it's new, and just being developed). I would like to "standardize" on a single load test tool; does anyone know if you can t...
Hi, I have to extend a existing VS2008 project which includes many separate WiX 3.0 projects. My concern is: I would like to extend some of the VS-projects and make minor changes in the classes by overwriting them. Can I also extend the existing WiX project by inheritance? I ask this because the existing WiX project is very large and c...
I am trying to run my units test and it is failing. Not much info is supplied by Visual Studio. When I click on the "Test Run Error" link I get this screen. This is spectacularly unhelpful. Does anyone know where I can get a call stack on what is really happening? The solution builds just fine so I don't see how it can be "Invalid...
I'd like to override the directories used by Visual Studio (devenv.exe) for the compiler and library paths. I know how to do this interactively via Tools->Options->VC++ Directories, but I'd like to automate this. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t9az1d21(VS.80).aspx has a tantalizing note on this: "If you want to set up director...
I have added custom build messages so the Visual Studio GUI shows status messages during the course of a msbuild. I would like to now add something dynamic so I can inject random cute thoughts for the build-watcher. How could this be done? Thanks. ...
Hi, I have been reading some of the books by Hoglund and I thought I would have a 'go' at his 'simple debugger'... Anyway, I have been trying to use the line hProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS | PROCESS_VM_OPERATION, 0, aPID); Every time I use it on a running process hProcess is being returned as NULL, why is this - the targe...

I had a web reference set in my VS2008 ASP.NET project, but due to some source control weirdness it is no longer listed in the project. I have the set of files in the Web References folder under my project. There's a .wsdl, .disco and several .datasource files. Is there any way to re-add this web reference through the existing files ra...

Hi, I'm trying to learn how to make games with DarkGDK. But I have to write in Visual Studio. I don't like Visual Studio. Its suggestions (Ctrl-Space for Completion) are bad (is my opinion) and the compiler is broken (See my previous questions). So I want to migrate to Netbeans, whit MSys and MinGW. But I'm not able to use the DarkGDK...
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 SP1 for C++. When compiling, Visual Studio needs to choose against which version of the CRT and MFC DLLs the application should be linked, version 9.0.21022.8 (= RTM), 9.0.30729.17 (= SP1) or 9.0.30729.4148 (= SP1 with security update). I'd like to know how you can choose which of both versions will be linked...

Does Visual Studio 2010 RC play nicely with Visual Studio 2008? I am wondering if I need to setup a Virtual Machine to play with VS 2010 or if I can just install it on my Dev machine. If it messes up VS 2010 then that is sad but ok. If it messed up VS 2008 then I would be in trouble. Has anyone tried this out? Does it work well? Poo...
