Hi, I'm trying to build a C++ project with a build configuration platform of x64. It's on a new machine running a 64 bit Windows Server 2008. When I open the build configuration manager in VS, I can't chose or create the x64 platform and the project gets skipped. When I try to build it with MSBuild I get the error: VCBLD0004: Project 'M...

Hi, Half a year ago, I installed Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008. I don't quite remember which I installed first, but since then I am unable to connect to any file-based SQL server databases from the Visual Studio IDE.

Another beginner question for ASP.NET: I'm starting an ASP.NET project in Visual Studio 2008, and would like to link it to a folder on a remote server (as in it builds/publishes to this folder). It may be my phrasing, but I cannot seem to figure out how to do this (even with Google at my side!). I naively tried to just upload the code...

Hi. I'm working on a project for school with data structures in Visual C++. I got my code compiling just fine earlier today, and took it home and it no longer works. Both machines I've been working on use Visual Studio 2008. Here's the text of the error. I'm not sure if this might have anything to do with it, but my program has 3 main c...
I've recently started a new job working with webdevelopment in .NET. Coming from a php and rails background i've been working mainly in Eclipse and NetBeans, along with some TextMate.

If I don't remove these, the next time I run the program, th...

You're in Visual Studio... you press F5 (Run) and are greeted by this dialog: There were build errors. Would you like to continue and run the last successful build? Wonderful. I'm sure there are cases where running the last successful build is useful, however, I have never purposefully answered yes to this question. Oh sure, I've ...
VS2008/C# newbie here. If I open our project, have no code files open, and hit Build Solution it'll show about half a dozen errors. Fine. When I start double-clicking open the individual code files (or double click on the error line) more errors start to crop up, and not necessarily about the file that I just opened. It seems like ...
