I have a project that requires that I run some code when the application closes. The application is only a single form that hides itself almost immediately after execution, so the only way it can be closed is by manually terminating it with the task manager. If I use the onclose event, will it be called in this case? Also, can someone p...

I tried to enable Code Analysis in my Visual C++ 9 project. When I build the project Visual Studio only compiles common.cpp, emits a set of warnings and stops without proceeding to other .cpp files. How do I make Visual Studio analyze all the .cpp files? ...

Can I set the default-option of "Copy Local" in Visual Studio to False? In most times, when I add a dll as dependency of a project, I want the Copy Local property set to False. Per default, it is True. Is there a way to change the default behaviour of Visual Studio? (2008) ...
Hi, everyone. I have an advanced T4 question and I'm hoping someone can help. I've created a SQL-like DSL, and the scripts are saved in '.satsql' files in my C# projects, like so; // contents of myqueries.satsql SELECT <column t1.Id> FROM <table mytable t1> I have a .tt file which loads the file and attempts to parse it. If it fails,...
I am having a very odd problem with Visual Studio 2010. After using it for a while, the statement completion comes up in what looks like a vertical IME mode. Nothing I type ever gets to the document, hitting esc gets rid of the box, but any typing brings it right back up. Restarting VS fixes it for a while. I have uninstalled all langua...
I started getting the error, "error C2059: syntax error : 'default argument'" for a line of code that declared a function with a string argument that was given a default parameter. This was obviously a bit frustrating, as the error message was not exactly enlightening (I know it's a 'default argument'!), and the exact declaration would ...
Hi, I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and I split my text editor into two vertical text editors. I thought it would be useful to have a macro that re-size the active text editor to take up most of the screen but I haven't gotten very far. I get an error whenever I try to change the width oh a text editor. DTE.ActiveWindow.Width = 800 And I...

Our development team has a number of semi-technical users that act as intermediaries between our developers and domain experts. One of their tasks is building forms using a very clumsy, antiquated system that makes their job much harder than it should be. I'd quite like to create toolbox controls similar to the standard HTML controls th...

Is there a way to quickly maximize (and then restore) Visual Studio 2010 panels? For instance, I'd like to temporarily maximize the Output window or unit test results window. In Eclipse, I would just double-click the window tab but in VS, this undocks the window. The desired behavior is: double-click to maximize the window, then double-...

Today I noticed that C#'s String class returns the length of a string as an Int. Since an Int is always 32-bits, no matter what the architecture, does this mean that a string can only be 2GB or less in length? A 2GB string would be very unusual, and present many problems along with it. However, most .NET api's seem to use 'int' to con...
