This might of been asked elsewhere (seems like a useful topic) but searches turned up nothing. One feature I love in Eclipse when programming Java is that I don't have to worry about putting in the import statements and any missed functions from interfaces that I am implementing them - if I do miss them a simple click from a list implem...
I have a relatively powerful dev workstation - 8 cores and 3 Gig of Ram. However, Visual Studio 2008 does not seem to take full advantage, especially during large builds. Are there any tweaks to be performed on XP VM settings etc to increase performance? I remember back in the bad old days that out of the box windows does not take best ...
I wrote a simple add-in for Visual Studio 2008 that opens a dockable window pane. You can download the source and a binary installer by clicking here. The nature of the add-in means that it is ideally going to stay docked next to where you edit your source. But sometimes, on some installs, it won't stay docked. You run VS, you dock my...

About a half dozen times now, I’ve been doing a regular chore in Visual Studio – either running a unit test or simply compiling, updating something from SVN or whatever, and visual studio just disappears… it shuts down and goes away instantly… it is fine when I restart it, and I don’t see the problem again for a while… it keeps happening...

I've got a fairly large MFC application that has just been migrated from VS6.0 to VS2008. It was a pretty painful process, but now I'd like to explore any managed-code options that may be available.

I've seen comments that there are some missing features in the VC++ 2008 Express debugger, particularly related to multi-threaded debugging. I've tried debugging a multi-threaded program in Visual C++ 2008 Express and it seemed to work fine. What is really missing? Looking here (as mentioned in one answer), I found: "Multithreaded/Mult...
I'm trying to build a console application without using the CRT, or any other imports than kernel32.lib in any case.

Why are the code-behind pages for an ASP.NET web application locked at run time? I have older projects (probably defined as "web sites" instead of "web apps") where I can edit the code behind, refresh the browser, and see my changes. With the web app, I have to continually close and reopen the browser if I want to see my changes live. Is...
