Visual Studio 2010 "helpfully" detects URLs and colors them blue (by default). It will do this regardless of context - whether the URL is in the midst of XML, or it's in a comment, or it's a string in code, etc. I find this distracting. The URLs are part of their context. I'm not coding in Visual Studio in order to click on hyperlinks. ...
Adding smart tags in VS2010 (or VS2008 for that matter) to my control makes VS crash.

I am trying to upgrade an old solution to use VS2010 (VC100). I have it setup so that stdafx.cpp will create a precompiled header stdafx.pch from stdafx.h. Then all the other .cpp files that include stdafx.h are instructed to use the precompiled header. These posts helped me get this far: Visual C++ Precompiled Headers errors Precomp...
I'm trying to play with the new syntax coloring capabilities of VS2010 based on Noah Richards' diff coloring sample. The goal is to create syntax coloring for SpecFlow (http://www.specflow.org). In my case, finding the syntax elements are fairly complex and not line-level. Therefore, when I implement the GetClassificationSpans I don't w...
Hi, I realized that when dividing a project into two in Visual Studio (2010) I'm still looking for references that are missing in the new project. Can Visual Studio do that for me? It can find all the namespaces I use so it should be easy for it. Thanks! ...

Currently I need to copy all app.config settings from one project to the other. That is a nightmare if I want to change something. I know there is a solution to store all these information in the global .config fil...
Edit: This is indeed a bug in the compiler, I've opened a defect and got the following response. Hello Motti, Thank you for submitting this issue. As noted in the stackoverflow posting, this is a bug in our decltype implementation. Unfortunately, we cannot fix this bug in the next release of Visual Studio since the code is relativ...
I have a C# project which has many web references to a third party product. All of these web service calls use a 'user context' class. So each web service accepts the exact same XML snippet. Currently I have to keep many of these 'user context' objects around as I hit all the different web service calls. The generated 'user context' cla...
I'm using MS Visual Studio 2010 to create an application with SQL Server 2008 database access, but what I did to create the database was add a new "SQL Server 2008 Database Project", it added it, and shows me everything on my Solution Explorer, but how do I write the connection string to connect to it, because I wrote this one, and it di...
Hey there StackOverflow, I'm having problems deploying my website to the live server using VWD 2010 Express. I had done this without a problem in VWD 2008 Express. But, it seems that the tools for publishing a site are very different from 2008 to 2010. What I've tried so far is to go to Project>Package/Publish Settings and I change ...

What I would like I would like to easily run a batch file without leaving Visual Studio. The batch files are not always the same, they change depending on the solution I'm working with.

Other than the "if(false)" hack, is there any way to get Intellisense working in VS 2010 / MVC when using the server-side Url.Content() method for re-basing Javascript files?

I am in the process of upgrading from VS2008 to VS2010 and want to do some cleaning up. My main solution has 20 or so projects under it in a flat file space.
