I've noticed in Visual Studio (definitely 2005, I can't say for other versions), if I click on something no topmost in z-order (either in another pane of the interface, as when I have the window split, or when another program had focus), VS thinks I made a double-click instead of a single-click. This is very annoying in the case of havin...
I'm not sure when it happened, but at some point, my Visual Studio 2005 grew a group named "#13119" that I can't delete (it even shows in the toolbox when I have a code file open - it's the only thing in there. Is there any way to fix this? I tried resetting the toolbox, and that didn't help. It's not a really big deal, but rather irkso...
Hi there, I'm using VisualSvn with my vs2008 and I have to run some sort of commit monitor in the tray area to see if the local copy of project is out of date. I have two problems with that: 1.I hate to have it in two places, I want to see that as an icon in my VS. 2.The commit monitor software keeps an eye on several projects, when ...
I'm writing a smart ptr template which is intended to be instantiated only for a given base class and its subclasses, which provides boost::shared_ptr-like implicit conversions to variants MyPtr<U> of the template MyPtr<T> has long as the conversion is valid from T* to U* (valid base class and const-compatible). This was working fine in...
I still find myself hand coding Visual Studio projects more than using the variety of UI-driven menus and dialogs. For example: web projects: hand code html/css in Source View vs dealing with the Design View / Properties Window flushing out class files: code by hand using stuff like the prop-TAB-TAB Create Property keyboard shortcut a...
hey guys, in relation to this stackoverflow question, how would I go about creating my own Visual Studio 2008 plug-in. I've checked the Visual Studio Developer Centre on MSDN, but the amount of info is overwhelming. There are loads of project types, and I don't even know where to start. Where should I start looking if I want to write s...
When recursively invoking nmake, via the $(MAKE) macro, how can I pass on the target specified on the command line to the new instance? So, say I execute the following from the command line: c:\nmake clean I want the recursive call to nmake to pass the 'clean' target to the new nmake instance. ...
I've installed parallels desktop on my MacBook to be able to run Visual Studio 2008 in a XP installation. Everything works great except when I decided to put my websites in my sites folder in the os x file system (Which by default automatically happens because the My Documents folder is mapped to the Mac's Documents folder, and I'd rathe...
My SharePoint Visual Studio solution structure currently contains these projects: Common: contains extension methods, helpers, frequently used controls, etc. Logging: would normally be included in Common but contains calls to native methods so marked 'unsafe' Site-specific project: one for each distinct site, containing features, web p...
Is there a way to reset to the original vb.net snippets that came along with visual studio 2008? I recently installed a purchased third party lib, that managed to break almost all the default snippets. I can see that the snippets do physically exist in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VB\Snippets\1033 but only the followi...
So I mean compile without visual studio ...
This is probably just a setting I'm not seeing, but when I get a stack trace out of Visual Studio's exception helper dialog, it has \r\n after each "line" in the call stack. When I copy this and paste it into Notepad++, it shows up as literally \r\n, visible in the document. Of course I'd like these to be interpreted as CR LF, so everyth...
I'm using Visual Studio and COM with C# for the first time and there's something I don't quite understand about the 'references'. How do you know what to reference with a given 'using something.something'? The .Net references seem fairly simple, but COM is less obvious. I'm running Visual Studio 2005 and have the latest VSTO installed, b...

The problem is that if I create a new directory in the Resource directory and place the resources there,I get a compiler error that the files cannot be found. I can't put all resources in one fol...
There is a feature in Eclipse ("Show Source of Selected Element Only") which allows to view the code of the selected method only. All other part of the code is invisible. I remember that a similar feature was available in Visual Studio 6.0. I would like to know if this feature is available in Visual Studio 2003 and up? If yes, please po...
Ok, so since going to version 2.5 Nunit is causing me all sorts of problems because they introduced the static class Is into the nunit.framework namespace. It would be well and good if Rhino.Mocks and a few other frameworks did not also make use of an Is static class. So now if I upgrade to 2.5 most of my code that uses rhino mocks con...
I have a udp service which is listening on a socket for udp datagrams: int result = 0; try { result = m_ReceivingSocket.Receive(buffer); } catch (SocketException e) { Log.Debug("Timed out with socket exception, so no result was found.", e); } It does this on a Timer every 1 millisecond because it is important that I get the udp me...
I have a Visual Studio project that relies on several DLL references.
