I have a page that dynamically adds script references via jQuery's $.getScript function. The scripts load and execute fine, so I know the references are correct. However, when I add a "debugger" statement to any of the scripts to allow me to step through the code in a debugger (such as VS.Net, Firebug, etc.), it doesn't work. It appea...

I use Visual Studio to develop unmanaged C++ apps for a living. Is there an add-on tool (price isnt the issue) that is smart enough to detect folders that I create within my solution folder and add them to the include path (/I)?

I've tried manually setting the Height and Width attributes of the image, adjusting margins and padding, adjusting Stretch and RenderOptions.

Can anyone suggest a good way to manage multiple web.config files? For example, I have a development web.config I use on my localmachine named "localWeb.config" and then one I use for production called "prodWeb.config".

I zipped an ASP.NET MVC Azure project up and copied it to another computer (both have VS 2008). I thought I could just unzip it in "Documents\Visual Studio\Projects", but I can't quite get it working. My site builds, but the browser doesn't see the master page or Site.css. Should moving projects around as Zip files just work? My re...
After installing TortoiseSVN 1.6.0, all files loaded into an AnkhSVN enabled Visual Studio 2008 project are marked as new (blue +). I have tried re-installing AnkhSVN 2.0.6347 and checkout the repository into a new "clean" folder. However neither seem to resolve the problem. My question is kind of two fold, is there a resolution to thi...

Update: the clearest explanation I have found on the web as I have been struggling through this can be found here. Maybe I just don't understand the model of runat server terribly well. It appears the following code is always executing the if block. If the code is running on the server side I guess I can understand that it has to be s...
