How to maximize Visual Studio panels?
Is there a way to quickly maximize (and then restore) Visual Studio 2010 panels? For instance, I'd like to temporarily maximize the Output window or unit test results window. In Eclipse, I would just double-click the window tab but in VS, this undocks the window. The desired behavior is: double-click to maximize the window, then double-...
What is the scope order of .config files
Somehow I screwed with my IIS7 settings, and VS2010 doesn't want to start websites in debugging mode. I spent a few hours convulsively scavenging before I found a solution. It just needed to put into web.config <system.webServer> <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" /> </system.webServer> Now, I'd like to put that...

Currently I can not quickly filter the result of a work-item query - running a query will give us a result table and within this table, there's no mean to filter the table rows to display just the ones containing some certain text. Do you know how to filter that or have any addons/tools suggestion for that? Thank you. Nam. ...

Using Mercurial with Visual Studio 2010
I am currently using Mercurial via Tortoise Hg for some of my side projects. I was wondering if there is tighter integration of Mercurial with Visual Studio 2010 via a plugin or some similar mechanism.

Which C# assembly contains Invoke?
Alternate question: Why is VS10 so keen to complain about Invoke? In my continuing quest to make my app work become the worlds best C# programmer, I have decided that threads are a Good Thing™.

VS2010 F# Smart Tag to add open import declarations
EDITS corrected terminology from Intellisense to Smart Tag OK, I readily admit that Intellisense/Smart Tags have spoiled me.

You get the nice little colored underscore whi...
How do I configure Qt to work with Visual Studio 2010?
I downloaded open-source version of Qt from the site and have compiled it with nmake, but I'm having trouble using it in my projects.

Debugging a Web Setup custom action
Other forum posts suggest that you put a Debugger.Break call or a MessageBox.Show call into the custom action code, then attach the VS debugger to the process when the interrupt occurs in the Setup execution. Neither of these has worked for me. Setup runs to completion without the interrupt. (Using VS2010). I'm at a loss. Thanks for...
