Where would I set default values that I want to use throughout a project and only define once? An example would be a default margin, or a color that I want to use in multiple places. In pure C, one way to do this would be with a "defaults.h" header file with "#define"s. ...
It is easy enough to determine the namespace for a class by clicking "Go to Definition" (or by hovering) but I often need to know what dll something is defined in so I can add the appropriate reference to a different project that needs the same thing). For example, in Silverlight there are many classes in the System.Windows.Controls na...
I'd like to make a x86 and x64 version of my application because some of the libraries I'm using have differences for x86 and x64 (e.g. SQLite). I made a new configuration for release builds that has as target operating system "x64". Is there a way to define different DLLs for the configuration e.g. use SQLite.dll for x86 release and ...

I'm trying to use an open source library http://arma.sourceforge.net for linear algebra calculations. Some of the functions in Armadillo like pinv use LAPACK. I've written a very simple piece of code to use Armadillo to calculate pinv, but it produces a runtime error. This is probably because I do not have LAPACK linker flags in the sln ...

On the other hand, disigner is not bothered about changes made at mark-up/ sources. We have to click synchronise view after every bit of change we make in source to be available in the desighner.

Apparently, when Visual Studio 2008 (SP1) opens a CSS file, it doesn't recognize the UTF8 BOM marker as a BOM, but instead interprets it as text (first three characters show up as , but shouldn't be visible). While VS normally doesn't save the CSS files with a BOM, I'd expect the IDE to recognize and respect the BOM when it's there. ...

The first point is, there is no option on the screen to say if I'm setting options for debug or release mode. Now to the questions: (1) The enable optimizations option is checked. Is ...
