I am a C# guy with pretty good grasp of Visual Studio IDE usage (using it since VS2003). Right now, I am doing a proof of concept app using Eclipse 3.4.1. Is there any good reference or book which describes the usage of Eclipse IDE, compared to Visual Studio. Is there any Eclipse guide for Visual Studio users :) Thanks, in advance. ...
I realize that Visual Studio has the "/P" option to generate preprocessed files, but it's extremely inconvenient. I'm looking for an addin that allows you to right-click on a file and select "view preprocessed" - or any similar solution that would basically preprocess the currently-open file (with the appropriate options from the current...

I'm using Visual Studio 2008. I have a DLL and a test program EXE. There is a header file for the DLL that contains this: #ifdef _DEBUG #pragma comment(lib, "FooD.lib") #else #pragma comment(lib, "Foo.lib") #endif The intent is to dynamically link to FooD.dll through the FooD.lib import library, for a debug build, and to Foo...
Our "main" solution is the development code: shared libraries, services, UI projects, etc. The other solution is an integration and automated tests solution. It references several of the development projects. The reason it is separate is to avoid interference with the development solution's unit test VSMDI file. And to allow us to play w...
Hello, I'm rather new to symbol servers and I've been experimenting with them and Visual Studio 2008 running Windows XP(SP3).

The possible reasons I have found for this si that the symbols(.pdb's) are being written t...
The VS debugger gives me: _Color = "{Name=ff000040, ARGB=(255, 0, 0, 64)}" how can I "see" what color is? I tried a html page: <html> <div style="background: rgba(255, 0, 0, 64);">________<div> <h1 style="background-color: ff000040">hello</h1> </html> doesn't work. ...
I have something analogous to the following code... void function(int x) { // complicated operation on x blah blah } It all appears to be working fine except when x happens to be a particular value, say "273". But x being 273 is a rare event, 99.999% of the time it is some other value. Now I wish to observe the events whe...
I went to http://www.asp.net/mvc and the web installer offered me the option to install MVC 2, but not MVC 1. I thought MVC 2 was still in beta? Either way, I need to write an MVC 1 app. In visual studio, my only choice is either ASP.NET Web Application or ASP.NET MVC 2 Web Application. Can anyone advise? ...

We are using Visual Studio 2008 and would like to know if there is a way to create a (keyboard or toolbar) shortcut for the 'View in Browser'-command, but with a specific page from a specific (loaded) project. We always start testing/debugging our app from "Somepage.aspx" from "Project-x". I would like to make a shortcut that does 'View...
I'm working on a .NET 3.5 console application in C# which uses a VC++ unmanaged DLL. It ran without a problem when I worked on it a few weeks ago, but I'm coming back to it today and am now getting a BadImageFormatException ("An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)). My develo...

I do not have access to another machine and wanted to test the application so I remotely c...
We're trying to debug a WCF service that is being consumed by a smart device project. The problem is that the service never gets debugged, only stepped over. Similarly, when trying to add a class library to a smart device project, the following error is seen: Cannot add a reference to a desktop project from a smart device project. An...
Yes, this is a programming-related question, if a little indirectly. For better or worse, I am switching from Winforms to WPF in April. I am also going to be in attendance at the Visual Studio Launch in Las Vegas. I have a real need to get up to speed quickly in WPF, so my question is: What sessions are going to be the best use of my...
