How to make document tabs in Visual Studio 2008 appear in left-to-right order, just as it was in earlier VS?
In earlier versions of VS (2003 for sure, maybe 2005) when you open a project file, the tab opens to the right. In current VS 2008 it always opens to the left, so I have to rearrange them manually.

Anyone using "database projects" in Visual Studio?
I've recently given it a try (SQL 2008 version) and I find them quite okay.

Is there a Breakpoint Plugin for Visual Studio?
Background In some sufficiently large applications, you can spend more time figuring out how to drill down to the various layers than you do actually debugging: That's the case with a piece of software I work on now.
