We have an old project that requires occasional maintenance that uses VS2003 and Dot Net 1.1. It is on a machine that has become a 'dedicated' machine since no one wants to mess with it. We need to use the machine for other purposes - so I am trying to get it moved to another computer with the least amount of trouble as possible. I h...

Right now what I do is : Right click on my database, Tasks, "Generate Scripts..." manually select all the export options I need, and hit select all on the "select object" tab Select the export folder Eventually hit the "Finish" button Is there a way to ...
I'm at wits end now, I have googled this to death and found nothing. I have Visual Studio 2008 Professional installed with Service Pack 1. I have also installed .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 obviously. I have installed ASP.Net Charting as well the VS08 addon. Yet I cannot find the control anywhere. I have tried adding the controls from the in...
I'm only asking this because I'm finding as I get older, it becomes a much more frustrating part of my job. How do you handle new versions of software, particularly software that coders and DBAs use on a regular basis? It seems that just when I've fleshed out SQL2005, SQL2008 will have come and gone and SQL2010 will be here. I've mi...
When I have one app.config in my main project I always have to duplicate it to its test project. How to avoid it? Update I also asked a very similar, and slightly complicated question ...
Gah! This is really causing me hassle today. Suddenly without warning '@' (at symbol) and '"' (double quote) are trading places on my keyboard but ONLY in Visual Studio 2008! I can't seem to find anything in help or online to explain/remedy this. Is there some keyboard shortcut I am inadvertently executing? I rebooted my PC and it we...
Following my previous question, now I have 2 projects: one Console Project and a Library Project. They also have their respective unit test projects. When I run a test for the console project that uses a method from the library project and the library project needs an app.config setting, that setting must be in the console test project's...
We're having a problem combining 'nested files' and excluding files from source control. We're using code generation to create two partial classes for each entity - MyBusinessObject.vb and MyBusinessObject.Generated.vb We'd like the "Generated" file to appear as a nested file under the manual file. So we're modifying the project file t...
I'm currently trying to run MSTest.exe from NCover, but I believe the question could apply generally to running MSTest.exe from the command line. If I have the "/noisolation" argument, then MSTest.exe appears to find and use the app.config as expected. Without it, NCover doesn't capture any coverage information. From my research so fa...
When working in VS2008 (C#) does VS2008 silently crash for anybody when working with WPF? If I touch the XAML it is most likely to crash. I can come back in, clean, then build, then run and it work until I have to touch the XAML again. Then start over again. It is a solution with about 12 projects in it. Thanks, jeff ...
Hi, I'm begining the development of a personal Web Application project. I'd like to have a source control system for that project. At work, we user Team Foundation Server and I'm quite happy with that, mostly for the Visual Studio integration. I'd like to know if there was free source control solutions that had the same kind of integr...
The scrollbar scrolls way past the end of my class. Is there any way to adjust this? Is it just the VS convention? I can't delete the space, so it isn't carriage returns. The reason I don't like this is that I keep accidentally scrolling past the end of my class! I'd especially like to hear from people who actually have Visual Studio 2...
I have a DBPro (DataDude) project inside my solution to manage and version the database schema of my application. I use TeamCity 4.0 for continuous integration. To be able to build a .dbproj, MSBuild tasks and their respective assemblies have to be installed, other .dbschema and .xsd dependencies put in place. The easiest solution is to...
The concurrency model can be either apartment-threaded or multi-threaded Question: How to ensure that both the Client and Server are operating from within the same concurrency model? ...
I currently use VS 2008 Professional, but I'm trying to get Team System Developer Edition working in a Virtual Machine to evaluate it. However, when I try to open any of my current solutions, it gives me the following message: 'Z:\Samples\ChartControl\WebSamples' cannot be opened because its project type () is not supported by this vers...
Hi, I've registered a control in my web.config file and the .dll for the control has been placed in the application's Bin folder. <compilation debug="true"> <assemblies> <add assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/> <add assembly="RichTextEditor"/> </assemblies...
I found out that build time of C# solution with many projects gets much faster if you don't have "copy local" enabled everywhere. I did some tests and it seems that (for our solution at least) we could increase build time by factor 2-3 just by removing "Copy local". This probably means we have to store libraries in some common directory...
When using Db4oFactiory.OpenFile("somename"); it was trying to drop the folder "somename" into the visual studio directory and getting denied permission. I solved this by giving it an absolute path: db = Db4oFactory.OpenFile("E:/test-projects/db4o/db"); and now I'm catching a FileNotFoundException but the db4o docs explicitly...
There is no way to list the functions in a C++ solution for me... I have a class browser but that isn't helpful since this project has no classes. I need a simple list of all the functions in a c++ file and then just double click one to jump to its source (as a side pane, NOT as a dropdown)... I have to be missing something here as I hav...
When using emacs mode in Visual Studio 2008 the tab key no longer inserts tabs. It simply formats the current line. It is possible to remap tab to Edit.IncreaseIndent but this has many undesirable side effects. Has anyone else experienced this? If so is there a fix/hack? Also I have noticed that the performance of the text editor rapidl...
