I am just embarking on my first large-scale refactor, and need to split an (unfortunately large) class into two, which then communicate only via an interface. (My Presenter has turned out to be a Controller, and needs to split GUI logic from App logic). Using C# in VisualStudio 2008 and Resharper, what is the easiest way to achieve this?...

As a developer who spent many years working within Visual C++ 6, I'm used to working with the String Table resource to store unicode strings for localization. Is there a resource within Visual Studio 2005 that provides the same? Are there any third party libraries or tools? ...

Howdy. I'm a converting mainframe programmer with less than a year of PC programming experience (same company) with VS 2K5. I'm digging the new 'freedom' to try new tools on my PC and have become maybe what you'd call a utility packrat. I have all sorts of open source utilities, freeware utilities, VS plugins/add-ins/snippet collectio...
I'm looking for best practices for establishing connections between Oracle 8 and Visual Studio 2005 applications. The target would be a Windows Forms application written in C# that hits the database once a second to monitor tables looking for their last inserted record. I'm considering using "Application settings" to store the connection...

Hi All, In VS2005 and up, is it possible to specify which configuration should be selected by default? I have several configurations in my solution but one of them should be used in most cases. Hence I'd like to make sure that devs who pull it out of Source Control use the right solution (unless of course they specifically choose anoth...
Hi, I would like to know if I can install say Visual Studio 2008 Pro and Visual Studio 2008 standard on the same machine. I have tried to install the pro (trial edition available on MSDN) after the express, and it seems to require them to be installed in the same directory. Is this specific to the express edition ?

Hi, I have a Visual Studio 2008 solution with two projects in it. A C++ DLL and a Csharp application. The Csharp application uses [DllImport] to access the functions in the DLL, and has a dependency set on the DLL. For some reason, setting the dependency isn't sufficient to cause VS to copy the DLL to the build path of the app. So the...
I know VS2008 has the remove and sort function for cleaning up using directives, as does Resharper. Apart from your code being "clean" and removing the problem of referencing namespaces which might not exist in the future, what are the benefits of maintaining a "clean" list of using directives? Less code? Faster compilation times? ...
