Does anyone know why when I compile my web deployment project it creates a vs.net project file and a bunch of other unwanted/unneed files in the release and debug folders. The debug files are also being included even though I have the "Generate debug information" option unchecked when in release mode. I'm also getting some obj folder th...
Are there any options (third-party or otherwise) to improve code folding within the Source Editor for HTML/ASP.Net? The #region directive makes it easier to create your own sections, but it doesn't work in the Source Editor. Ideally I'd like to fold away larger areas of code than between the server-side code blocks. But below shows what...
I don't usually work with this type of data layer so I'm not familiar with all the terminology and it's difficult to search for answers. I have an XSD file in Visual Studio 2005, and I'm looking at the GUI editor. I created a table adapter by dragging a stored procedure onto the form. That stored procedure is basically a SELECT stateme...
I've been seeing this in my Visual C# 2008 RSS Feed forever now: I'm pretty sure this is a VS 2010 only feature, but I was wondering if there is anyway to replicate this in VS 2008? ...
There appears to be every other kind of drop-down menu--those that allow user input, those for integers only, those that don't...drop down, and even those that have ugly check boxes next to them. I just want a simple drop-down menu (like you'd see if I used in html) that lets the user choose exactly ONE item. (and one's chosen by defaul...
I'm trying to get MSBuild working on a project that has just been moved to TFS2008. The solution was huge, so it was split into 5 team projects, A-E. Each one has only one solution but several projects. A is relient on B-E being built first. We need to build both debug and release versions of everything, which is fine, but when we compil...

I have a dual setup development machine with Visual Studio 2003 and 2005. How can I restore the original file associations to Visual Studio 2003? Everytime I try to open up a *.cs file it opens it with 2005 when I want it to default open up in 2003. I know how to do this using the the "Windows Explorer/Folder Options/File Types" int...

I have a code that triggers PASTING to any 3rd party application by sending ctrl+v (see below), but this does not seem to work with CITRIX. is there any other method to trigger ctrl+v than keyb simulation? keybd_event(VK_CONTROL, Lo(MapVirtualKey(VK_CONTROL,0)), 0,0); keybd_event(86, Lo(MapVirtualKey(86,0)), 0,0); keybd_event(86, Lo(...
I have a puzzling situation and I would need an expert opinion as to the cause of the phenomenon explained below. A couple of weeks ago, I have conducted a session titled "An overview .NET for Java developers" and as a part of it I wrote a quick class C# (3.5 framework) to read from a file and write to another file line by line (in an i...
FireFox is set to my Windows default browser. I want to change the default browser used by Visual Studio for debugging. Normally the route I'd take to do this is right clicking on an .aspx file and setting the default from the Browse With... dialog. Unfortunately, ASP.NET MVC Views don't have the Browse With... option. What other ...
I recently got tossed some C# code to make some minor cosmetic changes to. When I open up some of the files in VisualStudio though, I get errors saying "To prevent possible data loss..." The first of these errors is "Object reference not set to an instance of an object. " I can follow the stack trace fine, but I'm not sure what I real...
We developed an application that uses Excel interop libraries (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel) to read some Excel files. When a problem occur in the application, the event Application.ThreadException is handled, so the resources are released (Excel is closed...). The problem is that when we use the VS debugger, if we stop the execution...

I've tried to even install Microsoft Help 3.0 Beta 1 manually off the iso and it fails too saying .NET 4.0 has to be installed even though I have installed that correctly. Anyone have any ideas? This is dri...

I've been all over the Visual Studio IDE and haven't been able to find where to see the itemized code/files affected by a specific changeset. I found the Changeset option under "Find in source control..." option with the Source Control window up, but it's pretty useless at that point as it only lists the changeset for me but doesn't all...
I have a TFS project that ought to be a folder under another project, so I want to move the source control history (We don't use the other features of TFS for this project, so I don't care about the project site). I've branched the code into the new location, and I'm preparing to delete the original project. This SO question deals with ...
I have just a few days to see if I can figure out how integrate with a third-party C++ API. While I've coded C++ once before, it was on linux using vim. This third-party API is windows-specific, and the minimal documentation available assumes the use of Visual C++. I installed Visual Studio 2005 and created a new project, but I'm gett...
