I am creating some C# tools for the game I am working on, and I'm adding the "recent files->" drop down menu. The problem is, I can't get C#'s "Settings" page in VS2008 to allow me to add a typed HashSet. There's just no option to do it. I got all hackalicious and manually edited the "Settings.Designer.cs" file to: [global::System...

I just started using C++ VS2008, and downloaded an archive of samples from MSDN. The file is vc_samples.exe - sorry, don't have a link right now. My problem is, most of these examples would not compile. The Start Debugging button (green arrow) was disabled, with no explanation whatsoever from the IDE. More by luck than skill, I stumb...

The developer is still available to me and he is/was able to pull up the solution on his machine, but when I attempt to use this is on my machine it creates a mess.
