I'm using Visual Studio Team System 2008 at work to do web development. I've gotten quite used to it but can't really afford to purchase even VS 2008 Standard at this time. I have never used any of the Express editions before but I was thinking about downloading VS C# Express and VS Web Developer Express. Am I wasting my time or can I...
Hi, Our current application is a single OpenGL EXE containing multiple pages. The EXE is responsible for accessing data sent across the network via UDP. It accumulates the data and stores it in a host of singleton structures. The individual pages within the EXE access the singleton structures to process the data as they see fit. In ...
Most precompiled Windows binaries are made with the MSYS+gcc toolchain. It uses MSVCRT runtime, which is incompatible with Visual C++ 2005/2008. So, how to go about and compile Cairo 1.6.4 (or later) for Visual C++ only. Including dependencies (png,zlib,pixman). ...
I'm trying to determine if there's a way in Visual Basic 2008 (Express edition if that matters) to do inline collection initialization, a la JavaScript or Python: Dim oMapping As Dictionary(Of Integer, String) = {{1,"First"}, {2, "Second"}} I know VB2008 supports array initialization like this, but I can't seem to get it to work for co...
Before I start, I know there is this post and it doesn't answer my question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3017/how-to-generate-getters-and-setters-in-visual-studio In Visual Studio 2008 there is the ability to auto generate getters and setters (accessors) by right clicking on a private variable -> Refactor -> Encapsulate Field... ...
When I run my Visual Studio 2008 ASP.NET project (start without Debugging) on my XP Professional box, I get the following error: System.Web.HttpException: The current identity (machinename\ASPNET) does not have write access to 'C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files'. How do I resolve this? ...
How do I make open “read only” the only option within a SharePoint document library? When using either Word 2003 or 2007 and saving the document as a template or modifying the file properties as “read only” doesn’t prevent modification of the file in a SharePoint document library. Modifying the document library permissions to only allo...
Hi there, does anyone know of a macro or add-on for VS 2008 which reformats xml-comments? There has been this really smart CommentReflower for the older version of VS, but I couldn't find a release supporting VS 2008. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! Matthias ...
I just started using the WPF WebBrowser that is included in Net 3.5 SP1. I built my setup project (which I have been using prior to moving to 3.5 SP1) and installed it on a test machine but the WebBrowser was not available. What must I do to be sure that the setup.exe/msi combination checks for and installs SP1? ...
I am unable to load any existing projects after starting VS2008. When I try to open an existing project VS2008 will crash. It looks like it is crashing when trying to load a floating window in VS but I cant tell which one. When I launch the debugger on the crashed instance I get the following message which is not very useful. Unhandled...
I would like to compile a DLL under Visual Studio 2008 that depends on msvcr90.dll as a private assembly (basically I'll dump this DLL into the same directory as my application) without needing an external manifest file. I followed the steps outlined in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235291.aspx section "Deploying Visual C++ ...
Is there a quick & dirty way of obtaining a list of all the classes within a Visual Studio 2008 (c#) project? There are quite a lot of them and Im just lazy enough not to want to do it manually. ...
I have a VS2008 solution using xml documentation, and we have warnings as errors turned on for release mode (a nice feature IMHO); this results, however, in long lists of 'missing xml comment' errors for such things as every element of a (self describing) enum. Does anyone know of an attribute or similar which switches off the requremen...
Hi everyone, I'm just getting started with learning about Unit testing (and TDD in general). My question is does the latest version of NUnit support working in VS2008 with .NET 3.5? I've looked at the documentation pages at NUnit and they don't mention it. If anyone has worked with it in 3.5 are there any limitations or features tha...
I am going to be starting up a new project at work and want to get into unit testing. We will be using VS 2008, C#, and the ASP.NET MVC stuff. I am looking at using either NUnit or the built in test projects that VS2008 has, but I am open to researching other suggestions. Is one system better than the other or perhaps easier to use/un...
I've just built a VS C++ 6.0 program using VS 2008. When I attempt to run or debug the application, Vista asks for permission. What is it about how the program is built that causes this? The program is being built and run from a subfolder of C:\Dev This response made no sense to me as a solution to the problem. ...
I've been having this irritating issue lately. The site I'm currently working on has large aspx pages with tons of client side js code. While I'm typing the Error List window will keep opening and closing at the bottom of VS (where I have the window docked). I mean constantly. This is beyond aggravating as you can imagine. It's happening...
Hi. My project has both client and server components in the same solution file. I usually have the debugger set to start them together when debugging, but it's often the case where I start the server up outside of the debugger so I can start and stop the client as needed when working on client-side only stuff. (this is much faster). I...
I just installed 'Visual C# 2008 Express Edition' and 'Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition' on my Vista machine. Previously I have been running these in Win XP. When launching the software, starting a new project and trying to build it I get warnings like "The referenced component 'System' could not be found."; one row for each nam...
Ok, here's the breakdown of my project: I have a web project with a "Scripts" subfolder. That folder contains a few javascript files and a copy of JSMin.exe along with a batch file that runs the JSMin.exe on a few of the files. I tried to set up a post build step of 'call "$(ProjectDir)Scripts\jsmin.bat"'. When I perform the build, t...
