Hi all, I did search the forum and did not find a similar question. I'm looking to make a final decision on our mocking framework of choice moving forward as a best practice - I've decided on Moq... untill I just recently discovered MS has finally created a mocking framework called Moles which seems to work similar to TypeMock via the p...
I've application that I deploy to share with ClickOnce so other users can install it and use it on their own machines. It worked fine till i noticed that when i install this app on my own machine (Windows 7 x 64) it doesn't add StartMenu (even thou it installs correctly and I have it in Control Panel / Programs). I didn't had that proble...
When you're working on a VS C# project with multiple developers which all add new projects and files to the same solution the last one to try and check in his changes gets conflicts on the project solution file which aren't easy to merge. The easiest solution to this problem I've found is to dismiss my own changes and accept the server'...
I just right now "migrated" from C# to C++/CLR. First I was annoyed, that I had to write all class' declarations twice (into .h and .cpp). Then I figured out, that I could place the code also into the h-files - it compiles at least. Well, I deleted all cpp's of my classes and now I realized, VS won't give me any Intellisense when I work ...
Here's a strange one. After renaming a class, one of my forms began giving me errors in the designer, refusing to open. Funny thing is, the form worked just fine when I ran the program. I began reverting my changes to deduce the problem. I have now reverted completely back to the last commit - in which I know the form was working in ...
I use Visual Studio 2008 on Windows 7. Occasionally (more than once a day), when I launch the debugger via F5 to debug an ASP.NET website a blank Internet Explorer window opens and it hangs. I can stop the debugger, but the IE window doesn't go away. When I try to debug again, a new IE window opens and I can debug in that window just fi...
I've been working on developing a middle man application of sorts, which uploads text to a CMS backend using HTTP post requests for a series of dates (usually 7 at a time). I am using HttpWebRequest to accomplish this. It seems to work fine for the first date, but when it starts the second date I get the System.Net.WebException: The requ...

I am setting the attribute according to this web...
Intermittently when I start debugging a web application VS hangs (not responding). It will start OK if I run the appllication without debugging. When it has happened once it will do it every time until I delete the vbporj.user file. This problem appeared when I moved to Win7 64bit. I am using VS2008 Pro and everything is patched up...
I have a huge global array of structures. Some regions of the array are tied to individual threads and those threads can modify their regions of the array without having to use critical sections. But there is one special region of the array which all threads may have access to. The code that accesses these parts of the array needs to car...
I learnt the hard way that it is not possible to slipstream Visual Studio 2008 (embed all patches to the installation kir) - It will just fail to install properly, without letting you know that. So the only way is to install each patch one by one. What is the right sequence for this? It should include SP1, ATL patch, GDI patch, ... Als...
Hey everyone, I programmed an hour-sheet application and now I would like to publish it so people can install and run it. I've tried the publish function of visual studio 2008 but this gives me a clickOnce application/installer that's really confusing, but it works when I run it, but when I export the installer to another pc it install...

When i try to check-in displays that files are identical and check-in undone by server. what is the reason of this behaviour? ...
Is there a straightforward way to smoothly upgrade a running service using a VS2008 installer? All I want to do is stop the service and do the install. It seems this wouldn't be too much to ask. If you invoke the ProjectInstaller's Install, and the service has been installed by a previous version, it throws an exception regardless o...
Is there a way to do automatic profiling in visual studio 2008? I know how the profiling works both from the command line and using the GUI in VS08. What I want to accomplish: After my nightly build I want to complete some profiling (instrumental) to see if some functions (will most likely always be the same) have changed in some negat...

Hi, When i work in VS2008, i use the Ctrl+K+D very often as it saves a lot of time. But in CSS files, this command formats the document in a way i don't quite like. For example when i auto format the document, .Foo { width:1px; height:2px; } However, i like to format tags this way, as it is much more easy to read (in my opinion):...
I'm using ASP.NET MVC RC2. I have a set of classes that were auto-generated "Linq-to-SQL Classes", where each class models a table in my database. I have some default "edit" views that use the neat-o Html.TextBoxFor helper extension to render HTML input fields for the columns in a table. However, I notice that there is no MAXLENGTH attr...
