I'm not sure exactly what went wrong here, but Resharper 4.5 RTM seems to have stolen my visual studio colour theme. I normally use Fredrik Kalseth's wicked theme, and I've been using Resharper since version 2.0. Never before has this happened - not even while using the 4.5 Beta. My scheme remained in tact without detremental interferenc...
I usually add an m_ in front of private fields and an s_ before static members. With a code like protected static readonly Random s_Random = new Random (); I get the following warnings by VS2008's Code Analysis: CA1709: Microsoft.Naming : Correct the casing of 's' in member name 'Bar.s_Random' by changing it to 'S'.

VS2008 shuts down right after converting any VS2005 solution. The solution icon is changed from 8 to 9 but if I try to open the solution it tries to convert it again and then it shuts down (and so forth). Anyone seen this? Is a re-install the only way to go here? ...

I'm speaking of the basic outline in Eclipse, where you can see the class members, methods, et...

There is a post on IIS.net titled "Using Visual Studio 2008 with IIS 7.0", but I don't quite believe that's what people do. (Among other gems, it suggests publishing your web app after every change.) If you debug your ASP.NET applications in IIS7 instead of Cassini, I would love to hear your methods, tips, and tricks. Edit: I'm referr...
I have a somewhat complex UserControl, and Visual Studio 2008 is giving me a rather harmless annoyance when working with it. Every single time I open the control with the Designer, it decides to immediately change some of the harmless values set by the designer - namely the initialization of Size properties. If I save those changes, cl...

Hi, I have an MVC and am using JS and JQuery. I have VS2008 using dev server. I have added some javascript to a JS file "SearchControl.js" and ran it fine.

In Eclipse we are using Mylyn to have an overview of our Trac Tickets. A nice feature is the Context attached to a Ticket. For example it remembers the classes you worked on when that ticket was active. If you open that ticket a month later, then Mylyn opens all the classes. Is there something similar in Visual Studio? ...
