Ok I know this may be a design issue, so I would love to have remarks on that as well. I have a Visual Studio web application solution. I have three projects as UserInterface, BusinessLogic and DataAccess. I had to store some user defined settings and I created configSections in the config file. I access these configSections through ...
I have some cs files in my project that are not set to be built (Properties -> Build Action = None). They contain bits of code that don't compile as a whole and are there merely for reference. I don't care about any compilation errors in them, but they appear in the "Error List" window. The errors don't stop compilation, merely clutter t...
This is very frustrating, if I search for a variable in a vb file in VS2005 it won't find it if the code blocks are collapsed. How is this helpful? So I tried to expand ALL code blocks inside the file, without success. I've tried Ctrl+M but that only expands 1 block, and I've tried Ctrl+M, L but that expands the top class only and not...
I've been trying to find official requirements for Silverlight 4.0, but can't seem to find anything. What I want to know is if VS2008 supports Silverlight 4.0, or if I need to upgrade to VS2010.

Is there a way I can skip this code in debug mode. I can't use System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute since the code will get replaced e...
I'm trying to automate the process of opening crash dumps for managed applications and retrieving the stack trace. Windgb works sometimes, but getting it to load the correct version of sos.dll is a nightmare unless the machine processing the dump is practically identical to the machine where the dump occured. Visual Studio, on the othe...
For a C# project, I make use of several Visual Basic macros in Visual Studio. I was just considering that these would be of use to other developers that work on the C# project. The macros so far include removing trailing whitespace on save, organizing using directives and removing unnecessary ones, and an override for Ctrl-M Ctrl-O tha...

I noticed that when I build a given C# or VB.NET source to produce a DLL, the binary output is different each time. It would be helpful for our build / deployment process if this was not the case. Can I control this? ...
My question is: since Visual Studio 2010 was only just released, why does it not render pages in the same way as the latest Microsoft web browser, IE8? Is there a bunch of render options I should be setting? I thought Expression Web was supposed to help with its fancy Super Preview but that app doesn't even open VS solutions. Thanks f...
Hi, I am implementing a SPA tree algorithm and is looking for a Visual Studio plug-in that let me visualize objects and their relationships in debug/runtime. Visualization like: [0]-----[1] | \ / [2] \ / | [4] [3] | \ \ | [6] \[5] Any ideas? ...
If I place a class file into a folder, the folder's name is appended to the namespace, even if I set "Namespace Provider" property of the folder to False. If I then rename the namespace back, ReSharper underlines it suggesting to change it according to the class file location. How do I suppress this behaviour? I use ReSharper 5 and Visua...

I have broken down the horribly unwieldy web.config file into individual files for some of the sections (e.g. connectionStrings, authentication, pages etc.) using the configSource attribute. This is working fine, but the individual xml files that hold the section 'snippets' cause warnings in VS. For example, a file named roleManager....

Hi all I have a stack of code snippets imported into Visual Studio. Just recently, they have stopped displaying in Intellisense. If the keyboard shortcut doesn't bring up anything else on IntelliSense, then I can tab and the code snippet is inserted just fine. However, if the keyboard shortcut for the snippet happens to also bring up ...
