Visual Studio 2008 IDE C++: background color of current line
I would like the line of code where the cursor is currently positioned to have a different background color (like in UltraEdit for those who know it). Is this possible? EDIT: I'm coding in C++ so ReSharper does not seem to apply (correct me if I'm wrong). I'll give "Slickedit Gadgets" a try (free, unlike "Slickedit" itself). Cheers! ...
Force visual studio to always 'rebuild all' when debugging
Edit: Basically what I need is for visual studio to always rebuild all when I hit debug.

I have a web application project that I'd like to be able to branch and develop on a totally separate IIS site and not have to keep editing the vbproj IISUrl setting each time I do it.

I know that it can be done in regular Vim via: :let @s="0ftwwy$bp" This will set a macro on register 's' for example. Doing the same in .viemurc so far just got me an er...

I have CruiseControl.net running Visual Studio (2005/2008 - using devenv.com) as we need to build deployment projects (.vdproj).

.NET MVC: How to fix Visual Studio's lack of awareness of CSS classes in partial views?
Hi all, This has been sort of an annoyance for me for a while. I make pretty heavy use of partial views in MVC, and am using Visual Studio 2008 to develop. The problem is that when I give html elements a class in a partial view (<div class="someClass">), it will underline them in green like it doesn't know what they are. I realize this...
.NET Assembly References going all circular on me.
Update: Last night, I decided that this is just too much work to change the folder where some reports are saved. My work-around here is to rename the folder, run the batch job I need done, and then change the folder name back to what it was originally. I feel like I could spend the rest of today and all of next week working on this and...
