Whenever I use a macro in Visual Studio I get an annoying tip balloon in the system tray and an accompanying "pop" sound. It says: Visual Studio .NET macros To stop the macro from running, double-click the spinning cassette. Click here to not show this balloon again. I have trouble clicking the balloon because my macro runs ...
I currently use Resharper and have for a few years now. I know there are a ton of other useful addins out there but i never seem to have the time to sort through them to see which is worthy of using. So i was hoping some of you would be able to help me do some sorting. ...
Hi, We have an application that has to be flexible in how it displays it's main form to the user - depending on the user, the form should be slightly different, maybe an extra button here or there, or some other nuance. In order to stop writing code to explicitly remove or add controls etc, I turned to visual inheritance to solve the p...
I am using a VS project with custom build script/batch file (ala make/ant etc) When the build is run from the command line we have placed colored highlighting on various output lines. However when built via Visual Studio (2005 in my case) the output window does not show the color anymore. Is this possible? I am quite happy to put sp...
Pretty much what the title says really. We have some code that is .NET 1.1 based and no real desire to up-convert it. However, we are looking to add developers to the team and they will need copies of Visual Studio. My understanding is that they will need VS 2003 - as this is the only IDE that supports .NET 1.1 but I am wondering if w...
This is the text from MSDN comment: "According to the book ATL Internals (2ed) the use of attributes is deprecated and should not be used in new ATL projects." But WHY?!! ...
It's really quite annoying as they are not part of the project. ...
We are using VS 2008 Team System with the automated test suite, and upon running tests the test host "randomly" locks up. I actually have to kill the VSTestHost process and re-run the tests to get something to happen, otherwise all tests sit in a "pending" state. Has anyone experience similar behavior and know of a fix? We have 3 develo...
In my work environment, Visual Studio currently crashes every time I start our main project unless I delete the .suo (solution options) and .ncb (C++ Intellisense symbols) files. Obviously, I've found a workaround. Is there a more permanent solution than this? ...
I'm tearing my hair out with this one. If I start a block comment ( /* ) in VS.NET 2005+ then carriage return, VS insists that I have another asterisk ( * ). I know there's an option to turn this off but I just can't find it. Anyone know how to turn this feature off? ...
Is it any compilator option of flag? ...
Does anyone have experience using makefiles for Visual Studio C++ builds (under VS 2005) as opposed to using the project/solution setup. For us, the way that the project/solutions work is not intuitive and leads to configuruation explosion when you are trying to tweak builds with specific compile time flags. Under Unix, it's pretty eas...
Some of the features I think it must include are: Print Entire Solution Ability to print line numbers Proper choice of coding font and size to improve readability Nice Header Information Ability to print regions collapsed Couple feature additions: Automatically insert page breaks after methods/classes Keep long lines readable (near...
What IDE placement (output, errors, threads, watch, etc..) do you use (coding/debugging) in Visual Studio on Dual Monitors? ...
We are currently evaluating different applications that interface with Visual Studio 2008 (C#) and Subversion to do automated builds of our core libraries. We are hoping to have nightly builds performed and either email the list of changes made to each developer or have the latest versions be pushed to each workstation. What has been y...
I'm building a C++/MFC program in a multilingual environment. I have one main (national) language and three international languages. Every time I add a feature to the program I have to keep the international languages up-to-date with the national one. The resource editor in Visual Studio is not very helpful because I frequently end up le...
In visual studio 2008 + Resharper? Thanks! ...
Hi there, I have a VS2005 deployment & setup project, that makes use of the Tablet PC SDK 1.7 Merge Module, so users of Windows XP can make use of the managed Microsoft.Ink.DLL library. Now that we've moved over to Vista/VS2008, do I still need to install the TPC SDK (to get the merge module) or can I make use of something that Vista h...
Is it possible to validate an xml file against it's associated schema using Visual Studio 2005 IDE? I could only see options to create a schema based on the current file, or show the XSLT output ...
My company using VSS and Visual Studio 2005 (soon 2008). They want to switch to CVS but the developers don't want to loose the integration we get with VSS and Visual Studio. I know there are CVS plug ins but what functional, if any, is lost with CVS? ...
