We've found a solution where we edit the csproj file directly, and put the references in to item groups with a Condition clause based on our selected build configuration. We have 32 bit debug/release and 64bit debug/release, and t...

In VS2008, how do I "refresh" the diagram? There's no View-->Refresh or RightClick->Refresh or Update option. As it stands now, I have to ...
I have a C# project A which uses a .net wrapper DLL and a native DLL. I add the .net wrapper DLL to the reference list of project A. Since the wrapper DLL only works with the native DLL when they are in the same folder, the native DLL should be copied to the output directory of project A. I achieve this by adding the native DLL as a cont...
I have a database project in Visual Studio 2008, and I want the ability to run a preprocessor on my sql code (using it to allow for variable database names without resorting to dynamic sql).

I know VS code folding issues are an old chestnut, but I haven't been able to find this in all the other discussions I have browsed through: We have a team of C# guys, some love regions and others hate them and we don't seem to have much middle ground to work with. Is there a plug- or add-in for VS that will just 'hide' the regions? S...
