Visual Studio .dll Reference not found ?
I had never had this error before, and I didn't move any file, or exclude any reference. I'm getting this error (link).

It might as well work if I just re-do the refere...

My PC isn't bad (dual-core, 3GB of RAM), but there is a lot of corporate software and whatnot to slow everything down and sometimes lock it up. Now, some developers have begun getting Windows 7 mach...

How do I load ascx pages faster in visual studio 2008?
One of my (my team's) biggest peeves with VS2008 is the slow speed in which ascx load. It could take up to a couple minutes to do something as simple as a text or style change simply because of the time it takes to load an ascx page into the visual studio text editor.

VS2010: how to remove/hide the "External Dependencies" folder in Solution Explorer
In VS2010 they added to all projects a virtual directory called "External Dependencies": It really bothers me especially because if there is a normal folder named "Apple" and one named "Deep" it will be in between the two, and also the information it gives is, in my opinion, completely useless. Is there any way to remove or hide it...

"The breakpoint will not currently be hit. The source code is different from the original version." What the hell does this mean?
Hi everyone I'm really hoping someone can help me out with this one.
