hi there, when developing wpf applications i never use the graphical editor ( aka cider). only the xaml editor. as "cider" needs quite some resources when loaded i wonder if there is a way to completely disable it. This may speed up loading xaml files. i heard that this is possible, but as google does not return what i`m looking for, i...

Does anyone know if there exists a color scheme for Visual Studio 2008 so it would look more like the new Visual Studio 2010? If not the whole IDE then at least the "Fonts-Colors" part. ...
I have a Web Service Application Project in Visual Studio 2008. This is supposed to be an ASP.Net 2.0 project and at some point this has been rebuilt using 3.5. VS has kindly added in project level imports to System.Linq and System.Xml.Linq, but when I have re-targeted the project at 2.0 these project level imports have remained. Beca...

In earlier versions of VS (2003 for sure, maybe 2005) when you open a project file, the tab opens to the right. In current VS 2008 it always opens to the left, so I have to rearrange them manually. It's time consuming and stupid, since I feel I'm forced to write in the right-to-the-left order. I looked for appropriate settings, but haven...
I've recently given it a try (SQL 2008 version) and I find them quite okay. Well, the only problem is that the wizard is not intelligent enough to update database structure without first erasing all data. Is this why these projects are not used in practice? Actually never seen anyone using them or ever mentioning them at all. Also nothi...

Is there a possibility to create partial classes that are grouped in the Solution Explorer like VS does it with code behind classes (eg. Default.aspx and Default.aspx.cs). I would like to create MyClass.cs and MyClass.partial.cs and they should not be shown as 2 seperate files in the Solution explorer. ...
I am currently in the preparation phase for a new project that will be developed with .NET Compact Framework (2.0 or 3.5, we'll see) and will run on a custom Windows CE 6 hardware. There is, however, one thing I can't get to work: Debugging seems to be possible only with a physical device or with the emulator. But when I just start the ...
When I check in code to our Team Foundation Server, I some times (probably more often than I actually do...) should associate my check-in with a task or a bug I am working towards. When I mark a task or a check in, it sets the Check-in Action to Resolve. But almost always, I just want to have it as just Associate. The result is that I of...

Hi guys, I'm about to submit a bug to Microsoft. The following html is displayed fine in a browser, but in VS designer it makes the entire page scrollable - as the table isn't clipped by the div: <div style="width: 800px; height: 100px; overflow: scroll;"> <table style="table-layout:fixed"> <tr> <td style="widt...
Background In some sufficiently large applications, you can spend more time figuring out how to drill down to the various layers than you do actually debugging: That's the case with a piece of software I work on now. Layout/separation of concerns issues aside, it'd be nice to have a breakpoint plug-in that would allow you to load break...

Even very small applications also take 8 MB of memory... What can I do to reduce the memory footprint? Thank you very much in advance. ...
I get that you can select a vertical block in Visual Studio 2008 (alt-drag), but I don't understand how you use it once it's selected. How do you: Move the selection point inside the block and have the text you're typing get inserted on every line simultaneously? Move the block one space to the right/left Or can you just copy/delete...
