Based on an ID I would like to automatically load an Image into my GUI. To do this I would like to be able to get all images out of the Resources.resx file in Visual Studio 2008 (using C#). I know I'm able to get one at a time if I know what they are: Image myPicture = Properties.Resources.[name of file]; However what I'm looking for ...
I have a VS 2005 Web Site project (not the web application project model, the 'web site' project model) and I want to be able to include the PDB files for the page assemblies in the bin folder via the "Publish Website" command within Visual Studio to help out with debugging an issue. No matter what I try with regard to the "Debug/Releas...
I'm one of those people who rather dislike it when random non-source files are dropped by the IDE into my source directory. Especially if these are generated as part of the build. I've found that by overriding both "<IntermediateOutputPath>" and "<BaseIntermediateOutputPath>" I can strip down the mess left behind to just a couple of emp...
I am working on an asp.net 3.5 project which has 55 projects in a solution. When opening the solution in visual studio 2008 it takes over a minute to open - about 1 second for each project. However, if I disconnect the network cable before opening the solution, it only takes about 15 seconds! Any ideas about what could be causing the ...
Visual Studio or Eclipse - which IDE is better for Qt on Windows? Taking into account Eclipse is free I'm especially interested in Express version of VS but I'm open to non-free versions if this would allow much better integration with Qt. Before posting you might take a look at similar questions on SO to avoid writing what I've already...
I was looking around the net for a NUnit custom MSBuild task that would run on every build and also nicely play with Visual Studio UI (2008 is my version). I found MSBuild.Community.Tasks project that was great, but failed in Visual Studio integration part. What I actually wanted to have is get failed tests displayed as warnings/errors i...
This is probably an easy Visual Studio question, but I couldn't find it on the site. When I "Start Debugging" a console program, it immediately exits when its finished. Is there any way to have it pause when it ends without putting an explicit pause command at the end of your program? ...

Hello. I've recently inherited a database driven e-commerce site written in C# ASP.Net, with an MS SQL database. I have had little or no experience with this exact type of application up to this point, although I am comfortable exploring code, and am familiar with SQL query structure and C# (and web mark-up languages too). So far I've be...
I'm used to press shift+F7 to switch between my code behind and the designer (which takes between 1 and 5 seconds to load) then I always have to click on View Xaml to modify my XAML code. I don't find any shortcut in Tools/Options/Keyboard to go directly (from code behind to XAML code). How can I do that ? ...

I have installed VisualStudio Express C# in my box. Now I going to install VS Prof. Not sure if I have to uninstall VS Express first or I can have both running in my box.

I've made a simple C# DLL (that's part of a much larger project) using VS2005. I need to use the DLL in Excel via VBA code so I am using COM Interop on the assembly. I am trying to make the build process automatically generate the necessary TLB file so that I don't need to go to the command line and use regasm after every build. My pr...

I've got everything setup and it works like peaches when it's not using SSL (http). I'm trying to set it up using SSL now, and I'm running into issues with adding it to the Service References (or even Web References). ...
I have a client/server application using the .Net 2.0 Framework. I'm using Visual Studio 2008 to build and manage code. When I run either a Debug or Release version of the application simply by starting the .exe, I get an insert statement on the database that tries to insert a "0" for the foreign key of a table, triggering an error beca...

I'm having trouble with solution wide analysis since I upgraded to resharper 4.5. I'm continually getting false negatives, and having resharper report errors with my code that are not there. I find the only way to get rid of the errors is to open each of the reported in error files, find the offending types/classes, open those files an...
