Is there a support tool to make the code review task more interesting?
I'm so bored with the way I have to open my colleague's changesets and right click on a specific file and select "compare with previous/latest version" - only here will I reach the compare dialog !

.Net4\vs2010 versions of c# snippets
Does anyone know if there are 'extra' .Net4\vs2010 versions of c# snippets like there was for vs05 version (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa718338.aspx or as mentioned here)? I know I can import the 05 versions, or create my own, but wonder if there updated ones that use the newer .Net 4 (or I guess 3.x) features. ...

VS2010 doesn't always release dlls before building
I have a periodically occurring problem when building with Visual Studio 2010.

Are the tests that MsTest generates actual unit tests?
Visual Studio 2010 generated a bunch of unit tests for me which seems to be handy, but I question whether they are actual unit tests. For example, it generated a test it called SaveTest which executes the following code: User user = new User(); //I have to create a user user.Save(); //This saves the user to the database. //Assertions ...
ASP.NET 4 VS2010 Web Application Deployment
I must be missing something quite basic here... Trying to release my site to a test server... click on the publish option... and off it goes.

Difference between properties of an object showing in debugger vs proprties in Intellisense
When I inspect an object in the debugger, I see a lot more properties in the debugger than what is available in Intellisense or code. For example, the Page object in ASP.NET in the debugger shows a property RelativeFilePath which has a value. But when I try to use it in code, it doesn't exist. Why is that? I looked up the property Rel...
Code changes not being included when compiling in Visual C# Express 2010
At seemingly random times, whenever I load up VC# Express for the day and start working, any changes I make to my code don't get reflected in my debug runs. It's as if VC just refuses to compile the code and just runs the old already-compiled version. Deleting the "bin" folder in the project directory doesn't help, as then VC just compla...

I have a vb.net solution is VS 2010. I have two projects in this solution, one of which is a class library that we've used for some time. My desire is to reference THAT project from the other one.

I can do an "Open With..." and choose 2010 or the 2010 version selector, but the option to "Always Open With" is grayed out. I went in...

So my question is as follows: I've not been able to figure out for the life of me what the difference...
MbUnit's row attribute in Visual Studio 2010?
While reading an Asp.Net MVC code sample that used MbUnit as its testing framework, I saw that it was possible to run a single test against multiple input possibilities by using a Row attribute, like so: [Test] [Row("test@test_test.com")] [Row("sdfdf dsfsdf")] [Row("[email protected]")] public void Invalid_Emails_Should_Return_False(string inv...
