Is there anything out there that for .NET that can generate UML diagrams from code. Preferably an addin for Visual Studio. Starting work on a mature project that has little architectural documentation can be painful at first. Eventually you get the ins and outs of the code but helping to see how the code all fits together from the get go...

How do you trace/profile your .NET applications? The MSDN online help mentions Visual Studio Team (which I do not possess) and there is the Windows Performance Toolkit. But, are there other solutions you can recommend? Preferably (of course) a solution that works without changing the code (manually) and that can be integrated in Visual S...
I would like to use the task-list in Visual Studio but it really lacks almost any useful feature a task-list should provide. So I use Todo-List externally, to keep track of the things I need to get done. Would be nice to have it all in one place. So does anyone know of a cool replacement Add-On for the tasklist in Visual Studio? Thanks...
Let's show some Resharper love and learn new shortcuts while at it: Along the lines of Joel Spolsky's "What is your single favorite keyboard shortcut in Emacs?" what is your single favorite Resharper shortcut? One shortcut per answer, please. Would it be: ctrl-N/ctrl-shift-N (open type/open file) ctrl-shift-G (a friend calls this "S...
Hi Folks, I'm programming in C++ on Visual Studio 2005. My question deals with .rc files. You can manually place include directives like (#include "blah.h"), at the top of an .rc file. But that's bad news since the first time someone opens the .rc file in the resource editor, it gets overwritten. I know there is a place to make thes...

I have VS 2008 trial and just dont know where to begin. Can anyone point me in the direction of where I can look at and play with the source of a VERY simple multi-threaded appli...
I've been having this irritating issue lately. The site I'm currently working on has large aspx pages with tons of client side js code. While I'm typing the Error List window will keep opening and closing at the bottom of VS (where I have the window docked). I mean constantly. This is beyond aggravating as you can imagine. It's happening...
Hi. My project has both client and server components in the same solution file. I usually have the debugger set to start them together when debugging, but it's often the case where I start the server up outside of the debugger so I can start and stop the client as needed when working on client-side only stuff. (this is much faster). I...
On larger and/or long running projects, I tend to reference many assemblies and namespaces, and often I end up removing some functionality later on or moving it into a different project. I just wonder, is there a way to check every project (heck, every .cs file) in my whole Visual Studio solution and get a list of all referenced Assembl...
It seems like MS really left a massive gaping hole in their automated testing tools in Visual Studio for web pages with AJAX components and I have been hard pressed to find any commentary or third party add-ons that remedy the problem. Anyone have any advice on automating web tests in MSVS for AJAX pages? ...
Visual Studio randomly crashes when adding/removing references and projects. Any thoughts why? Will installing Sp1 help? EDIT: I do not work with any addons except SourceSafe. I do most of my development in connected mode. Developing using: Visual Studio 2008 WinXp Terminal Service -> Win2k3 Sp2 (64bit) VSS 8.0, 32bit ...

After installing VS2005 VB6 lost F1 function to MSDN Oct/2001 lib. Suggetions to re-install MSDN did not work. The only thing F1 works on now are ADO statements in VB6. Example ado1.recordset.recordcount If I highlight recordcount and press F1 I do get the ADO help information. If I highlight "recordset", I get "Help not found" dialog. ...
I am new to visual studio/asp.net so please bear with me. Using vs 2005 and asp.net 3.5. I have vs installed on the production server. If I set the start option for the site to "use default web server" when I go to debug my website vs tries to open the site at http://localhost:4579/project and returns 404.

Howdy Overflowites, I'm looking to see if anyone knows of a higher-resolution "Sleep" API than can be achieved using the following code block: ::timeBeginPeriod( 1 ); ::Sleep( 1 ); ::timeEndPeriod( 1 ); I'm trying to accomplish some "process balancing" work, and after some experimenting, find I need finer grain control than the...
We want to put a number of our in-house projects under version control. Our projects are C# .NET applications and assemblies. We originally decided to go Microsoft all the way (as is the norm around here), and tried installing Visual Studio Team Foundation Server. To say the least, it was way more trouble of trying to get a successful in...
