So I have this annoying issue with Visual Studio (when working with C#), I've been digging around in the C# formatting options, general VS options and on google and MSDN but can't really find a fix for this - I'm assuming there's just a checkbox somewhere and I've just overlooked it. Here it is: I like to format my code like this: Type...
My web project has an app_data folder with subfolders. When I deploy my project from visual studio2008 (r-click, deploy, include app_data ticked) it only copies files from the app_data root, not it's subdirs. Is there a way to fix this? ...
I noticed that projects that were originally created in VS 2008 do not compile using the nantcontrib msbuild task. There is a solution that I've seen here but it seems like a bit of a hack, considering 'MSBuildBinPath' has been depricated, and I don't exactly like the idea of changing this property on every single project file that I cre...
I have an ASP.NET web application that occasionally hangs after I build it. It is intermittent and there is no pattern to this. When I try to access it afterwards, IE just waits for IIS to respond, which it doesn't do, unless I restart IIS. This is on my local machine, running Vista Ultimate x64, VS 2008, 1 web application, 8 addition...

Lastly, when I test the same pages on someones elses machine, the postback does not occur at all. I'm using vs2008, asp.net 2...
We have some projects that have CPPUnit tests that are build and run using an ant script to build them all (right now we're using Borland C++, but we're moving to VS2008). The problem is that the interface to run and see the result of tests is unpleasant (command prompt). It would be awesome to have them run inside eclipse or VS2008. I...
If I have a form that is localized and has User Controls that are localized, how I can I view the form and the controls in the language specified in the VS Properties? Right now when I change the language, all my controls that are not part a user control adjust appropriately, but my user controls do not. ...

I received from Microsoft a free copy of VS2008 Professional, which is cool. But when I went to install on Windows 7 Beta, it installs fine, but is marked as being "unregistered". I have my license key, but cannot get to where I can enter the key. The deal was I had to DL the trial version and then do an upgrade. I was able to do thi...
how to search for files checked out by other users in vs 2008 Team Explorer. I can search for all the files checked out in a project in Visual Source Safe by doing a search, Is there a similar functionality implemented in team explorer?

How do I filter out the Silverlight documentation when I'm developing WPF application in VS2008? It's very annoying to get the help for the Silverlight version of the class when I press F1. I'd prefer not to remove the documentation for Silverlight altogether since I will need it in the future, but some way to choose between WPF and Sil...

So far, I've been using Macromedia HomeSite 5 for coding web pages with clean HTML. Now I started to work with Visual Studio 2008 and I want to ask: is it a good idea to throw away Homesite and start using VS for coding HTML pages? I don't use any visual designers, I'm just coding all HTML manually. EDIT: thanks for all replies. Are th...

I am totally new to Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 and the programming language itself. My problem is that I was following a tutorial on how to make a browser. The browser works in debug mode, and I clicked build under build at the top. At the bottom it says build succeeded, but I have no idea where the program was actually saved to. I ...
In our build process, for each project we use Post Build events to copy our executable files into a separate deployment directory. That works just peachy, but the problem is that we run into problems with stale files after performing a Clean Solution/Clean Project. I'd like to set up a "Clean" event that deletes the copied file and Vis...
