For some reason VS2008 adds a '_' prefix to the property names of the resources in the auto-generated Resource class. I get this when I add multiple image files to the project using the "Add existing file" dialog. How can I avoid this?

I know a solution would be to use VS 2005 or 2008, but that's not an option at the moment. I am supposed to write an extension to the VS 2003 C++ debugger to improve the way it displays data in the watch window. The main reason I am using a DLL rather than just the basic autoexp.dat functionality is that I want to be able to display thin...

Hi Everyone, I've recently become a fan of the VSBuildStatus Visual Studio add-in which shows the status of your build in a nice graphical way. Its much more informative than the current progress bar or "Output" window. However, I can't seem to find an easy way to make it pop up during the build, then hide itself when done, which is s...
Does anyone else have problems with running URL routing projects in Visual Studio? The Visual Studio Web server doesn't seem to want to play nice with URL routing. It doesn't invoke the engine at all in fact, which means you can't debug, and have to run the project out of IIS to get it work. Is there a workaround for this? Edit: By "...

Hi, I am trying to create a multi project template. I wish the sub projects names to contain the solution name. I have tried the following however $safeprojectName$ doesn't work in the root template for some reason.

I have been using Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 for a long time now, but now I'm consulting somewhere that has all ASP.NET 1.1 apps, so I need to use Visual Studio 2003. Can anyone recommend some good add-ins, settings, general tips, etc when using VS2003 to make it a little more like...well...VS2008? Note: I've heard about MSBee, but VS...
