When you type something and there's some problem you get a tiny red rectangle at the end of the symbol/word that has the problem and when you hover the mouse over it, you get a button and when you press the button you get a list of possible actions to fix the problem, including adding using statements or refactoring. Is there a way to o...
I have a local website which I run through Visual Studio 2008's internal development web server (through the run / compile button). I have an external library which is referenced on a page of that website and resides inside the web site's "bin" folder.

Hey guys, I'm just getting started with c++ development and I would like to use emacs to write the code and then compile and run it from within emacs using the visual studio 6 compiler. I have already googled around a bit but just can't seem to find an explanation of how this is done. Any pointers? Thanks for your help, joerg ...
Hi, I use GVim and Visual Studio for coding. One of the most missing features in VS compared to GVim is the possibility to highlight several words in different colors simultaneously. See this screenshot of a GVim session for an example (wResult and fBufferLocked are marked) In GVim I use this feature very often to get a quick overview...

My VS 2008 has a lot of plugins such as Resharper, Syncfusion, Typemock, TestDriven.net and you-name-it. And I am always running all of them on the latest beta versions. The problem is that this morning the VS 2008 crashed when it was loading Windows Form designers. I think it must be due to Syncfusion ( version 7.2.0.20), or its intera...

If the user has VS 2005 and 2008 installed, do I need to run devenv.exe /setup from both directories? Like so: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\dev...
I've got some code I'm maintaining that has a good deal of machine generated comments and machine generated regions. (or created by a particularly misled developer) These are comments exclusively repeating the method metadata and space expansions of pascal cased names: #region methods /// <summary> /// Implementation of a public met...

Normally when you add a new assembly you have to go into Visual Studio and add a reference (the .dll is stored in the /bin directory). Since this website compiles on the fly, is it possible for me to just add the .dll to the live website, and then use that .dll in an .aspx page? Currently in Visual Studio I can't see the .dll unless I ...

Opening the dialog with ctrl+alt+e and checking the "Common Language Runtime Exceptions" "Thrown" box then clicking OK is simple enough, but this is som...

This is using the VS 2008 built-in web server (Cassini). A coworker suggested giving that user account permissions on the project files which I did. I als...
Whether I'm loading an existing .rc file or creating a new one, visual studio has this odd tendency to split tring tables apart. I haven't really figured out if there is a pattern to it, though I've noticed it seems to have a tendency to start at ids divisible by powers of two where possible. Since the resource compiler doesn't actuall...
