Suddenly none of hotkeys in C# Express work (like F5, F6 etc.). I don't know what I've done, but no doubt its something stupid. Does anyone know how to fixed this? I have tried the Keyboard settings in Options, but it won;t even let me add hotkeys for some reason, even once I've removed the old ones. So re-adding them does not work. ...
Scenario: I'm trying to build my DataContext object tree for use as design time data. Great, awesome. Issue: I have a few types, some I control and some (such as DataRowView) that I don't, which cannot be simply new-ed up. I need some way to create instances of these types for use in my models. What I'd love is an equivalent of t...

Me: I'm a relative new-comer to the .NET platform. Problem In Java, you can add package level documentation to your project by creating a package-info.java or package.html file and storing in the package folder.

Hello, My solution has a library project which needs a special environment to be built (lots of external libraries and tools)... but it is not vital to our application. We'd like to avoid installing these tools when not necessary (most of our developers work on other parts of code). We have created another project which has the same AP...
Hello, To install windows services on our client's site I'm using msi setup files created with Setup and Deoployment Project (VS2008). I'm using loose installation so assemblies are not packed but rather visible in the folder structure. The problem is that our solution contains projects specific to particular clients (in other words th...
Question What is the standard approach to solve timing problems in automated UI tests? Concrete example I am using Visual Studio 2010 and Team Foundation Server 2010 to create automated UI tests and want to check whether my application has really stopped running: [TestMethod] public void MyTestMethod() { Assert.IsTrue(!IsMyAppRun...

I have a project in my solution which started life as a C# library project. It's got nothing of any interest in it in terms of code, it is merely used as a dependency in the other projects in my solution in order to ensure that it is built first. One of the side-effects of building this project is that a shared AssemblyInfo.cs is created...

I'm using both Ogre and NxOgre, which both have a Real typedef that is either float or double depending on a compiler flag. This has resulted in most of our compiler warnings now being: warning C4305: 'argument' : truncation from 'double' to 'Ogre::Real' When initialising variables with 0.1 for example. Normally I would use 0.1f but t...
I had a post similar to this awhile ago based on a error I was getting. I was able to fix it but since then I been having trouble doing things because headers keep blocking other headers from using code. Honestly, these headers are confusing me and if anyone has any resources that will address these types of issues, that will be helpful....
Is there a way to get autocomplete in F# with Visual Studio 2008? That is, true auto completion (suggest words as soon as you start typing), not the kind where you have to manually press a key combination? Or, if not, since it does work in Visual C# 2010: is the lack of it because it's something C# has and F# doesn't, or because it's so...
Hi there. When editing parts of my project that get called in Application_Start(), i want to have the web app restart every time i press 'Debug', so that i can debug these parts. But if i dont change the Global.asax.cs self, it doesnt restart and therefore doesnt fire the Application_Start(). Is there any setting or trick to let the ap...
I have a particular type of exception that I would like Visual Studio to not break on and show the Exception Assistant screen. Essentially I would like it just to let my normal exception handling infrastructure deal with it. The exception is an inheritor of System.Exception which I wrote and have the source code for. Any where this is...

After 5 versions of Visual Studio I think I should be able to right mouse click on a Stored Procedure node of a database connection in the Server Explorer window and be able to search (at least) SQL Server code for the occurrence of a string. I don't want to have to rely on running an Stored Procedure to search SYSCOMMENTS. I want a rea...
