I was wondering if anyone knew whether Visual Studio .NET had a parallel build process or not? I have a solution with lots of projects, every project has lots of markup/code, lots of types, etc. Just sitting there with intellisense on runs it up to about 700MB. But the build times are really slow and only seem to max out one of my two cp...
I generate a dynamic assembly with CSharpCodeProvider, from a C# source saved into a string. I can run the dynamic code at runtime, but if I pause the execution Visual Studio doesn't show me the dynamic source code in the call stack. It says "External code" and I can't step into that source code. I think VS can't find PDB or other debu...
In some of my Visual C++ project files I would like to specify the path to a rule file using an environment variable or macro. I have tried editing the ToolFile element with a text editor: <ToolFile RelativePath="$(SolutionDir)\build\tao_idl.rules" /> But Visual Studio complains that it can't find C:\Path\to\ProjectFile\$(Sol...
I have a fairly simple file-system website consisting of one aspx page and several classes in separate .cs files. Everything is on my own HD. The web app itself builds and runs fine. Out of curiosity I decided to try out Visual Studio's nifty, easy-to-use unit test feature. So I opened each class file and clicked Create Unit Tests. VS ge...

I recently wrote a custom Debugger Visualizer for Visual Studio 2008 for one of the custom types in my application. The UI for the visualizer is written in WPF and is hosted in an element host and shown using the IDialogVisualizerService windowService object.

I read through the previous post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/73022/codefile-vs-codebehind, but I'm still confused on which I should use. It sounds like CodeFile is the newer option that should be used, yet VS2010 generates CodeBehind when creating a new Web Form. ...
Apparently there are many questions that deal with how to store code snippets for Visual Studio, but I did not find one that contains links. So, is there a website that offers useful snippets? My google-fu only brought up many false positives or broken sites. ...
I have a very simple XAML form, that has one namespace definition. For some reason, when Visual Studio processes that XAML file in to it's component .g.cs, it's sticking a bunch of namespace definitions at the top that I have not asked for in the XAML, or the code behind, and they are namespaces that no longer exist in my project. Thus t...

The Add Web Deployment Project Build menu selection is not in the Build Menu or Solution Explorer. If I create a raw test Web Site Project, the menu item magically appears. ...
Is there an easy way to detect if you're running in the context of a Visual Studio Test as opposed to debug or release? Here's the scenario - we have a factory class that we use heavily throughout our existing codebase, and I figured instead of refactoring it out in each class so we can substitute the default factory with one that wou...
