I'm working on a .net 3.5 website, with 3 projects under one solution. I'm using jquery in this project. I'd like to use the visual studio javascript debugger to step through my Javascript. If I set a breakpoint in any of the .js files I get a warning that says "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for th...
I've started using Visual Studio 2008 and it keeps asking me to upgrade my 2.0 website project to 3.5 every time it opens. What effectively happens when I "upgrade" a website project from 2.0 to 3.5 in Visual Studio? Does it update my web.config? How exactly does it change my project/website/code? Is there a potential for any 2.0 met...
Anyone know how to turn off code folding in visual studio 2008? Some of my colleagues love it, but I personally always want to see all the code, and never want code folded out of sight. I'd like a setting that means my copy of Visual Studio never folds #regionsor function bodies. ...
I'm looking to add a numeric up / down control to a .Net StatusStrip. Unfortunately, it isn't listed as an option in the UI designer. Is there a way to do this? ...
I am starting a new ASP.NET MVC project to learn with, and am wondering what's the optimal way to set up the project(s) to connect to a SQL server for the data. For example lets pretend we have a Product table and a product object I want to use to populate data in my view. I know somewhere in here I should have an interface that gets i...

Does anyone know of a tool to integrate Mercurial into Visual Studio? Just curious. Mercurial is pretty nice, even with 'just' TortoiseHG, but integration with VS would be better. ...
I'm in the process of moving one of our projects from VS6 to VS2008 and I've hit the following compile error with mshtml.h: 1>c:\program files\microsoft sdks\windows\v6.0a\include\mshtml.h(5272) : error C2143: syntax error : missing '}' before 'constant' 1>c:\program files\microsoft sdks\windows\v6.0a\include\mshtml.h(5275) : error C214...
I couldn't find any useful information on Microsoft's site, so here is the question: has the compiler in Visual C++ 2008 been improved significantly since the 2005 version? I'm especially looking for better optimization. ...
Using Visual Studio 2008 Team Edition, is it possible to assign a shortcut key that switches between markup and code? If not, is it possible to assign a shortcut key that goes from code to markup? ...
I've recently acquired a second monitor and now run VS2008 SP1 maximized on my secondary (and bigger) monitor. This theoretically has the benefit of opening the application under development on the primary monitor, where -- as it seems to me -- all newly started applications go. So far, so good. The problem though is now, that the except...
I'm running VS2008 and have used SystemParametersInfo to activate "Focus Follows Mouse" and "Do not Raise On Focus." Sadly though, VS2008 (with and without SP1) doesn't honour the "Do not Raise" part and eagerly pushes into the foreground every time the pointer touches its window. A while ago I complained about that on my blog and poste...
I'm having a strange problem in Visual Studio 2008 where my "Pending Checkins" window never updates. I open it up, and it says "Updating..." like usual, but I never see the "X remaining" message, and nothing happens. It just sits there doing nothing. Checked-out stuff still shows as checked out in Solution Explorer. SourceSafe 2005 s...
At present it seems that VS2008 still isn't supported either in the 5.1.5 release or in the STLPort CVS repository. If someone has already done this work then it would be useful to share, if possible :) Likewise it would be useful to know about the changes required for a VS2005 or 2008 x64 build. ...
I'm a .Net developer and want to get into developing Silverlight applications. I have VS 2008 but wanted to know if I should/need expression blend. What are pros/cons of having blend along side VS? ...
I am trying to find a way to disable Design / Split views from appearing in Visual Studio. I figure there's no way to completely disable it, but I still can't seem to find a way to remove the shortcut (F7), or remove the buttons from the bottom bar. ...
My Google-fu is failing me on this question. I have a coworker who has Visual Studio 2005 on his machine. I have Visual Studio 2008. He wants to open a project I wrote in C# 3.0, and we've gotten that far, but VS2005 barfs on the 3.0 code, like var. He has the 3.0 and 3.5 frameworks installed, as well as the Visual Studio 2005 Extensio...
devenv mysolution.sln /build "Release|Win32" /project myproject When building from the command line, it seems I have the option of doing a /build or /rebuild, but no way of saying I want to do "project only" (i.e. not build or rebuild the specified project's dependencies as well). Does anyone know of a way? ...
