I'm using VB 2010 Express. When an error occurs in the form load function, the form load function simply terminates. Then, when I click on one of my buttons, the button click sub also terminates if it has an error. I can wrap the code that produces the errors in try/catch blocks, but I'd very much rather the debugger to throw an imm...
Hey guys, I have a dilemma that I am uncertain about, as I not sure if it's is exactly possible for a Visual Studio Add-in to run its code automatically. I need an add-in that can run passively, like a logger for Visual Studios. However, the Exec method that I know so far can only execute commandbar functionality, but I need the code to...

Is there a way to force the MVC automatically generated code to follow the conventions you have set in your preferences? For example, I keep all curly braces on the same lines as their declaring class, method, etc, but when generating a controller, it completely disregards my settings.

Just curious, I was told that with dll files, you can make modifications to the dll without recompiling the whole application that uses it. On the other hand .lib files need to be compiled so the code can linked to the application as one. So I know that the .lib files are turned into machine code. but what about the dll's ?? Are they t...

How should we a...
Hi, This was driving me a bit nuts as testing strong singing and installation to GAC of assemblies was working on one of my PC's, but not the other. This was the case with snk key files and pfx. They could not be installed via either a drag and drop into the Assembly via explorer, or using the mscorcfg.msc tool. I then realised the te...
