For me, No.1 has to be code folding. #region xxx #endregion All of sudden, people find an excuse to have big classes(files) because they can "organize" them nicely. I once saw a half-page-long class with 3,000 lines. I was speechless and they were like "what's the problem"? No.2 is partial class. It's actually a nice feature especial...
Today I ran WinDirStat to check what is filling up my harddisk. I was surprised to see that this folder contains 4.6 GB (!): C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\ReflectedSchemas What is the purpose of this folder and the files it contains? Is there a way to get rid of these files in a safe way? Thanks! ...
Loading Help or clicking F1 in Visual Studio is horribly slow to load and has been on ever PC I have installed it on. Is there any optimizations that can be employed to ease this pain? This is not the same question as Visual Studio Optimizations I am just trying to solve the problem with help loading. ...
Yes, I know... I could set up a virtual machine running XP. Unfortunately our build environment is such that we need to be running VC2003, 2005 and 2008 concurrently and it would be much more convenient if I could run 2003 natively on Windows 7 for the few projects we have that require it. I realize some things may not be available in ...
With msvc, is there an equivalent to gcc's "__builtin_return_address"? I'm looking to find the address of the calling function, 1 level deep. ...
I'm using the EnvDTE COM objects to automate Visual Studio. I'm still looking through the documentation, however, I figured I'd drop the question here to see if someone already knows how to do this. So, the problem is that when I get the DTE object and look at what Solution is open, I need to open another instance of Visual Studio if th...
In one of my class libraries I use multiple setting files to seperate settings based on components. In the VS project designer you can use automatic ApplicationSettings to store forms data (controls, checkboxes, etc...). If there is only one settings file in the project it will use this, however using multiple settings files confuses the...
What kind of problems might this cause? Is it better to install in a VM? ...
I have successfully managed to create Visual Studio starter kits in the past, however as far as I am aware they can only be made at the project level. I have a solution that contains multiple projects that I want to distribute throughout an organisation for several software projects. The starter kit that I want to make is at the soluti...
I've follow the tutorial on http://cxxtest.com/index.php?title=Visual_Studio_integration and I've looked on google but found nothing. When I try to lunch a basic test with cxxtest and visual studio I get this error : 1>Generating main code for test suite 1> File "C:/cxxtest/cxxtestgen.py", line 60 1> print usageString() 1> ...
Hi stackoverflowers is there any way to build/run small C++ programs, in Visual Studio without creating projects, like in old days in IDEs like turbo c++ you could just compile and run without creating projects. Thanks in advance! ...
This is somewhat related to another question that I've asked that I've pretty much figured out. The last piece of the puzzle is using CoCreateInstance() instead of GetActiveObject(). I don't want to use an existing instance of EnvDTE, so I call CoCreateInstance, which properly fires off a new instance of VisualStudio. CoCreateInstance() ...
Hi, i want to convert my window application, that i developed in VS2005 using C#, as an Add in for Visual Studio 2005. How can i do it.? ...
When I press F5, everything compiles fine, but when the app is to be started, VS crashes, showing the "Just in time debugger" dialog. More than one (similar) solution has this problem. A new solution containing just a form, works. This problem started out of the blue, I have made no changes to the environment as far as I can understand....

Open Ankh seems to be using Subversion 1.6.2 and Tortoise uses Subversion 1.6.0. After creating a repository with Tortoise I could not get ankh to see it. After downloading subversion and doing svn admin -create --pre-1.6-compatible z:\......\etc.. now ankh can see it. This is my first time using version control, and maybe I don't nee...
I want to output some additional information about a test run that I can quickly visually review. It doesn't affect the outcome of the test. I am familiar with Assert.Inconclusive(String) but I want the test to pass/fail on it's own. ...
