In VS 2008, I have a simple .csproj that contains an Entity Framework .edmx (V1) file. Every time I build the project, the output DLL is updated, even though nothing has changed. I have reproduced this in the simplest-possible project (containing one ordinary .cs file and one edmx model). If I remove the edmx model and build repeatedl...
I am writing a simple ASP.NET MVC web app. At this point, I am just trying to display a strongly typed DataSet on the automatically generated view. However, some of the values in the DataSet are null and cause exceptions. I am wondering how this simple scenario is handled by others. It seems excessive to sanitize all the values in the ...
I have visual Studio 2008. I have noticed that I cam make WPF applications with Visual Studio. Does this mean that it can do the work that Expression Studio does? I am going to install Visual Studio 2010. Does this do away with the necessity of Expression Studio? ...

Hi. This is crazy. It started happening in my main project, so I created a tiny sample brand-new project to reproduce it in and sure enough.. It does NOT happen in a sample project I created that is only a Win32 console app. I'm running this on Win7x64, if that matters. VS2008 SP1. Here goes. I create a small dialog app with a button...
Case and point: I need to open an Excel file via Interop and it would help a lot to avoid ugly COM errors if I knew that the file was in use. Other than trying to open the file and catching the exception, is there a programmatic way to determine whether the file is in use? ...
I noticed that adding a MenuStrip (from the VS Toolbox) to my form design doesn't yield a menu bar like many native Windows applications. Instead I get a menu bar like VS's own. None of the style settings for MenuStrip appear to mimic the much more common native menu bar. Is there a way to add a menu bar to my Windows Forms application ...
Hi, I like using Visual Basic for C++. I'm a student I noticed the web development feature in it, and I was wondering if it is any good for web design, maybe if someone has used it or does use it if they can give a few words on weather or not it's worth learning? I have been using Dreamweaver as my platform for web design. So pretty...
Dear all, I'm trying to create my own DLL... I used wizzard in VS2008 to create template for DLL. This works fine and the dll builds successfully (Test.dll is created). BUT, when I rename the file from Test.cpp to Test.c (which I guess causes compilation in C-mode), solution rebuilds also successfully, but no .dll is created. The list ...

I can edit this value in the appropriate place, but it would be convenient if I could just show the Version Number from MSI installer. Ano...
I find myself going to about five or six main places in my code 80% of the time and would like a way to go to them fast even if all files are closed. I would like to be able to open up a solution in visual studio and with no file open, see a list of self-labeled bookmarks like this: LoadNext Settings page refresh app.config connection...
Hi, I have a program that has a SIZE of 800x600. I want to make this program expand if it is maximized, so that all the elements(buttons, picturebox's) change size to fit the new ratio depending on the users windows screen resolution. The way I am thinking to approach this is to take the users screen resolution and manual change the ...
I am curious to know if there is a way to edit code in C# VS 2008 right when it has hit a breakpoint and I am walking thru the code... can I modify the code (such as the value in a variable or if my stepthrough line is about to hit an if statement ... can I modify the if statement....etc)? So far, I have to stop running VS, modify the co...
Note: This question and answer is a full copy from Kelly Brownsbergers Blog. I do post it as a convenience to others. From time to time, my status bar disappears. I used to believe this was due to a botched install or add-in. I recently upgraded to Team System Test Edition, and my status bar again disappeared. For the last few weeks ...

This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an ...
I have created a service in VS 2008 called EmailReader. I have compiled, installed and started the service. Its timer loop is writing records to a log file, so I can see that it is running. I am trying to attach to it in VS 2008, but the process name is greyed out in the list of available processes, and the name is "EmailReader.vshost.ex...
