I have a solution that has only 1 project, with about 30 class files. If I use "Find and Replace" to search the currently open document it is lightning fast, but if I try to search the entire solution it seems to take 3-4 seconds between each result. Even if there are matches right next to each other that I can see, there is still a 3-4 ...
I'm migrating a solution from visual studio 2005 to visual studio 2008. When I build the solution in 2005, I don't have any issues. However, after I use devenv.exe /Upgrade and then use msbuild on the solution, I get the following warnings: CSC : warning CS1668: Invalid search path '\vc98\lib' specified in 'LIB environment variable' --...
I noticed the existence of Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.PriorityAttribute. From reading a little about it, it does not seem to have anything to do with the test execution order. That being the case, it begs the question: what is it used for? I'm curious, are there any known uses of this attribute either by Visual Studio ...
Whereas there is a set of richly informative pages describing Visual Studio templates for code projects (projects and items) in MSDN, there doesn't seem to be a thing for database projects. If I am wrong, please steer me in the right direction. I have VS2008 Professional. Anyway, my question has to do with the new database items. Pre...
I'm attempting to compile a screensaver using Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition SP1 on Windows XP. I get a runtime error: "The procedure entry point ChangeWindowMessageFilter() could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.dll."

How do you disable additional checkbox selections/deselections without sacrificing the functionality of the ListView? I know you can call: ListView.Enabled = False, but that also disables any scrolling within it. For example: I have a timer that starts a backup based on the Listview items that are checked. After a certain time, I don...
I've had problems with the dataset visualizer that comes with 2005 and 2008 blowing up on me. I can't recall the error at the moment, but I would think that because it is intermittent that it is data dependent. Then again, the visualizer should be capable of displaying whatever can be put into a ds, or at least not blow up. Does anyone ...
Hi all I've been trying out resharper and decided that I'd like to uninstall. However, after doing so, Visual Studio no longer shows red underline highlighting that it normally uses to identify the location of errors in the code. This has happened on two of our PCs so far. I've tried a reinstall and a repair, but no luck. Any ideas ho...

Visual Studio 2008 is doing something that really frustrates me. I open a javascript file and start editing my code and it places the opening brace on the same line rather than on a new line. So I go to the text editor options and tick the boxes to put the braces on a new line and all is fine until the next day when I open a js file and ...

Is there a way to tailor the Publish feature of VisualStudio (I'm using VS 2008) so that different files go to different directories. I'm developing a web application which is used within a CMS (Immediacy) and the folder structure of the solution is quite different from the target folder structure. e.g. in my solution I have: MySoluti...
If I launch an ASP.NET project, using Visual Studio 2008 and Internet Explorer, Visual Studio starts script debugging. I get a Script Documents node with a child node of Windows Internet Explorer and Default.aspx with a bazillion anonymous code nodes underneath. I'm having difficulty shutting this off, other than telling VS to launch t...
I have a Visual Studio 2008 project with some legacy native C++ DLL projects, and some newer WPF projects that use the DLLs. When I open the WPF xaml windows in the designer, Visual Studio loads up the native DLLs to be able to display the window. The problem is, is that if I now need to make a change in the legacy DLLs, I need to cl...
EDIT: See my answer below for the hotfix. ORIGINAL QUESTION: In setting up for our boat-programming adventure I have to set up source control and fix project files for a team to use them.

If that solution were to be opened, converted and saved in Visual Studio 2008, would it be possible to reopen the solution later in Visual Studio 2005 with some minimal modifications to the .SLN file? How would one go about d...
