Is there a simple way to see assigned shortcuts with given prefix? Something similar to emacs CTRL+M, CTRL+H. I can do it in following way, but hope, that there is more simple solution: Tools -> Customize -> Keyboard In "Press shorcut keys" press given prefix (say CTRL+M) In "Shortcut currently used by" combo-box there is a list of ass...

I had read in another post here on SO that when possible you shouldn't Generate Member's for labels. I was wondering what some potential DRAWBACKS to this would be? Am I correct in saying that the benefit is increased performance? Anything else? I have a winform app with 100's of labels. Is there any benefit to not generating me...
I would like to make a copy of my project. I would rather not start doing it from scratch by adding files and references, etc. Please note that I don't mean copy for deployment. Just plain copy. Is there a tool in VS to do this? I am using VS 2008 ...
I've been assigned a web app written in VB using VStudio.net 2003. I am trying to configure the source on my localhost (VStudio 2008) so I can explore and learn about the current app (before I begin any real changes) and I cannot get debugging working for the web service project(s). Symptom 1: "Unable to automatically step into the ser...
I wonder if anyone can tell me why does QueryStatus() method get called so many times when command is being evaluated for execution? In my case it gets called several times (at least 9) with at least one vsCommandStatusTextWantedName and many more vsCommandStatusTextWantedNone, but never with vsCommandStatusTextWantedStatus? So lots of ...

Are there new features in Visual Studio 2010 that are must-haves? If so, which ones? For me, the big draws for VS2008 as compared to VS2005 were LINQ, .NET Framework multitargeting, WCF (REST + Syndication), and general devenv.exe reliability. Granted, some of these features are framework things, and not tool things. For the purposes o...

I love the idea of using VS2010. I downloaded it today to play with it. But I am hesitant to install it all on my machine as upgrading from Microsoft betas is usually difficult. Also, I am not a TFS install expert, so I don't know the best ways to set that up. But I still want to play with it... Does anyone know of a VPC that has it...
Is there a way to automatically stop the ASP.NET Development Server (Cassini) whenever I do a build/rebuild in VS2008 (and then obviously have it start again when required)? Maybe there's some hidden configuration setting somewhere? Or at least some way to do it as a post-build event maybe? For some background, the issue is that I'm usi...
When I hit F12 (or right-click and select Go To Definition) in Visual Studio on code I don't have the source for, it should bring up a generated metadata file. (Very similar to the Code Definition Window) This doesn't work when ReSharper (R#) is installed. After R# is installed, the Object Browser opens instead. I've had this problem...

Is there a way to get the underlying variable name of a target object in a Visual Studio debugger visualizer? The built-in string visualizer does it: string myStr = "abc\ndef"; Debugger.Break(); Clicking on the visualizer icon for myStr, you will see the "Expression" text box shows "myStr". How can I get this in my own visualizers? ...
I have a VS 2008 ClickOnce solution that I am attempting to compile with "Sign Manifest" turned on. With this option checked, I am prompted for my PFX's password, and upon entering the correct password I receive the error: "Error Importing Key" / "Object already exists". I'm sure I've hosed something. I've tried to run the "CERTUTIL -...
I was messing around with my toolbars and menus in Visual Studio 08. I noticed that they were behaving strangely. When I closed the "Customize" dialog, my 'Tools' and 'Help' menu were gone (perhaps more, I can't remember what else was there). I don't want to reset everything, as I have been curtailing the VS environment to my exact li...
Visual studio 2005: I am moving from post build event to using the external tools menu with a batch file.
