I would like to port an embedded application to x86 to create an emulator. We decided to give VS2008 a try but I'm not sure how to make vs to understand our existing directory structure: arch/ arch/hcs08 -- HAL implementation arch/include -- public interface of HAL arch/x86 -- here should goes the emulation layer os/ os/src -- sour...
Kind of a newbie VS question : I'm not certain it's called a workspace in VS, but when I log in as a different user on my PC, I notice that VS acts as it is in another 'workspace' (cf. Eclipse) The custom codesnippets are managed seperately for example, and also the Macro's I write under one useraccount are not available under another ...

This may be a trivial question, but I will ask it anyway: can updates in three or four tables in one database trigger updates to one or two tables in another database (in MS SQL 2005?) I am happy to create any amount of T-SQL necessary, and I also have VS 2008 with C# ability but have never written a trigger like that before. Essential...
I have no idea what the correct name for this UI style is. In MS Access the 'relationships' tool shows the db tables as little movable boxes that can be linked with lines. It's the same with Visio and a few audio apps - boxes that are movable, containing lines of text that can be joined together in a meaningful way. How could I create a...

I see plenty of articles on how to embed a manifest file to require admin, but the problem I find with that is we auto-increment the version number number, so a static manifest file doesn't seem like it'd work because we'd have to update the version number each time. Is there any way to get VS to generate the manifest and embed it autom...
