I have a normal SLN file, and I'm compiling it fine with msbuild from the command line. I do this: C:\slndir> msbuild /p:OutDir=C:\slnbin\ And it dumps everything into C:\slnbin, except for websites, which get deployed to C:\slnbin_PublishedWebsites\. What I would like is to not only have all the binaries dropped in the bin dir, but a...

No more implement interface :( Uninstalled it, loading times back to normal, icons still in splash ...

I want to add new modules and compile them into separate assemblies.I am looking for options where I can avoid adding new projects for each assembly. I am using Visual Studio 2005.

I work in Delphi 2007 (both win32 and .Net) but the CodeGear IDE frequently annoys me, so if possible I'd like to find a replacemnt. We have a build script so I can compile from the command line and I very rarely do any GUI designing, so the only thing I need is a text editor (with syntax highlighting, Autocomplete/Intellisense ...). I...
I'm working with VSTS 2005, and while the unit testing tools are fairly straightforward, I'm left wondering if there is any sort of support for mocking. I'd hate to have to do the mocking manually, because that leads to a lot of (mostly generated) boilerplate code. I have an edict from The Powers That Be, that a third-party mocking libr...
I need to export data of all columns (including technical like GUIDs for foreign keys) of an arbitrary table from a given database. I wanted to use LocalReport class as suggested here, but I can't think of how to set up the report for an arbitrary data source (even quantity and names of columns may change). Any help would be appreciate...
How can I attach and automate a specific instance of the VisualStudio.DTE from Ruby? It works fine when only one instance is running, but when multiple instances are running, WIN32OLE.connect("VisualStudio.DTE.9.0") only connects to the first one launched. A non-Ruby specific approach would also be appreciated. According to this KB art...

I am totally new to Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 and the programming language itself. My problem is that I was following a tutorial on how to make a browser. The browser works in debug mode, and I clicked build under build at the top. At the bottom it says build succeeded, but I have no idea where the program was actually saved to. I ...
In our build process, for each project we use Post Build events to copy our executable files into a separate deployment directory. That works just peachy, but the problem is that we run into problems with stale files after performing a Clean Solution/Clean Project. I'd like to set up a "Clean" event that deletes the copied file and Vis...

My team often puts the word TODO in unfinished sections of code. Is there a way to add user-specified keywords to Visual Studio so that these are highlighted in some way? For example, in vim the word TODO is automatically highlighted. For example, I'd want to see something like this: //This is a stub - TODO* move this to another proj...
I am working on a ASP.Net project creating a Outlook like calendar scheduler app. I need to implement javascript on the webpages, but VS 2005 that I am using now is not very helpful, like intellisense or debugging,etc.. in case of javascript. I am planning to use jQuery in the app too. Questions : Is there some feature of VS 2005 th...

In a Release build (and more importantly when creating an installer), I manually exclude the page (and it's related C# files) from the project. Is there a way to automatically exclude files in a selected solution configuration in an ASP.NET project? C++ projects giv...
