I have created a template for Visual Studio 2008 and it currently shows up under File->New Project->Visual C#. However, it is only really specific to Visual C#/Windows but I can't work out how to get it to show up under the "Windows" category and not the more general "Visual C#". ...

I've been thinking about switching from my current PhpEd / UltraEdit combination to using this VS.PHP plugin that I just found a few days ago.

When the Boost library/headers is used with VC++ 9 compilers (Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition or Visual Studio 2008), a lot of benign warnings are generated. They are of 2 kinds: Warning about the Wp64 setting. Warning about the compiler version. How can I turn off these warnings? ...
Hello, Does anybody use the Class Designer much in Visual Studio? I have downloaded the Modeling Power Toys for 2005 and have been impressed with what I've seen so far. The MSDN Class Designer Blog doesn't seem to have been updated for a while but it still looks quite useful. Is the Class Designer a quick way to build the basic applic...
In the Visual Studio toolbar, you can enter commands into the search box by prefixing them with a > symbol. Is there any way to disable this? I've never used the feature, and it's slightly annoying when trying to actually search for something that you know is prefixed by greater-than in the code. It's particularly annoying when you accid...

What are some macros that you have found useful in Visual Studio for code manipulation and automation? ...
I'm sure we've all seen it before...A code base that has been around for a year or two, and as features have been added and bugs fixed, we end up with pieces of code that aren't actually in use anymore. I'm wondering if there is a way (especially in VS.NET with or without a third-party tool) to search the codebase and show me which meth...

Hi, Does anyone have any recommendations of tools that can be of assistance with moving literal values into resource files for localization? I've used a resharper plugin called RGreatX but was wondering if there is anything else out there. It's one heck of a long manual process for moving the strings across and think there must be a b...
I'm quite used to my IDE setup in Delphi 7, where I have my comments rendered in italics. This doesn't appear to be possible in VS2008. There's only an option for bold font, not italics. Is there some kind of registry hack or font magic I can perform to get it to work? The font I'm using is Consolas, if that makes a difference. Edit: ...
I've been using the Trial version of SQL Server Reporting Services for a while now. My company finally purchased the software from an online distributor, and for support of Oracle, we needed to upgrade to MSSQL 2005 SP2.

Does anyone have battle stories to share trying to use Visual Studio to develop applications for Unix? And I'm not talking using .NET with a Mono or Wine virtual platform running beneath. Our company has about 20 developers all running Windows XP/Vista and developing primarily for Linux & Solaris. Until recently we all logged into a m...
I have a solution with several projects, where the startup project has a post-build event that does all the copying of "plugin" projects and other organizing tasks. After upgrading the solution from VS 2005 to VS 2008, it appears as though the post-build event only fires if I modify the startup project, which means my updated plugins don...
