I am on Resharper 4.x and VS2008. R# seems to slow down the living crap out of VS2008. And of course, the memory usage can easily go to 500MB on a middle of the road Winforms solution with 7-8 solutions. Now that Resharper 5.x is out, can anyone tell me whether either perf or memory issues have been improved for use with VS2008? ...

In VS2008 Team System how do I select some Code Analysis rules? The window is empty. When I build, there is the error: CA0053 : * Failed to load rules file '\rules': Unable to find the specified file. Obviously this means the rules file isn't found and that is the problem.

Hi, I am using a C++ DLL function as a Custom Action in a VS deployment project. I need to set some input data to this custom action. Example: c:\a.dll;c:\b.dll It seems like I cannot do it.

I have a fairly large solution that occasionally crashes. Sadly, these crashes appear to only occur in release build.

I've got an icon for one of my applications, which I've embedded in a resource file and is used as the main icon for the application. So far so good. However, I want to use the same icon for the installer project, and for the shortcut that the installer places in the Start Menu. I can set the icon for the installer package itself, but o...

Admin logs in as you would expect and manages the clients. Clients log in and manage themselves. SQL Server back end. It relies heavily on MasterPages and LINQ. It ha...
One of the awesome things I remember in Visual Basic 6 from years ago that you could just load up an ActiveX exe project into the IDE, set a breakpoint, press Run and whenever someone (either an EXE or a project in a different IDE) called that DLL, your breakpoint would hit. Is something like this possible with Visual Studio 2008? Can ...
