We develop a product for internal customers. We don't have a QA team, and don't use assertions. Performance is important, application size isn't. Is it a good idea to have a single configuration (instead of separating Debug and Release), which will have the debug information (pdbs), and will also do the performance optimization? Are th...

I've inherited a codebase littered with DateTime objects created like this: DateTime d = Convert.ToDateTime("2008-02-05"); which are failing when tests are ran on NY servers due to the culture of the string. I wish to convert them to the more sensible format: DateTime d = new DateTime(2008,02,05); I've written a VS macro that conve...
Hello. When starting Visual Studio 2008 you are asked to choose a programming layout (preset?), which can be C++ or C# (or generic?). Few months ago I choose the C++ preset because I was working on a C++ project, while now I'm working to a C# project. Is there a way to reset the Visual Studio layout to C#? Thank you Tommaso ...
Hi, I'm trying to debug and test my application with a Dell Windows Mobile device using Visual Studio 2008. I can connect to the device and deploy it on to the device using ActiveSync. The problem I'm having now is that when debugging, after the project is deployed on to the device, the breakpoints are never hit and the application just ...
When working on console applications in Visual Studio, I will run the application by pressing F5 to bring it into debug mode. Occasionally (and I'm not sure how this happens), I'll get back into "edit mode" in Visual Studio and the debugged console window will still be open. It will remain open but entirely unresponsive. I can't clo...
I have a Visual Studio solution, and this solution contains a few projects. Can I build all the projects from this solution into one dll? ...
I've got a shiny new laptop with the latest Dev tools installed such as Visual Studio 2010. Now I've got a task to build a C++ CLR app targeting the 2.0 runtime (this is well outside my comfort zone). So I've specifed the v90 Platform Toolset but when I build I get:- error MSB8010: Specified platform toolset (v90) requires Visual S...
Is there any way to make VC++ 2010 trace errors back to the last line that was called INSIDE my project? I don't know why they did it, but its completely useless when VC++ tells me that the error is inside one of the standard classes rather than which line in my project actually led to that error. ...
I have a thumbnail staff photo report in 4 columns (grouped by branch) - when I do a preview it will not do a page break only column break. I have goggled and tried all the possible solutions but still can’t get it to work. Any help would be appreciated. ...
I'm working on a C++ application in Visual Studio (non-MFC) and was surprised to find that I can't add a PNG image to a dialog in the designer which seems a little backward as I can in most other IDEs that I've used. So either a) there is something I'm missing or b) there is a way to do it with code. I'm hoping that it's a but b would be...
I have two projects in one Visual Studio 2008 solution. I'd like to use the primary output from one of the projects as an embedded resource in the other, but for the life of me I can't find any way to accomplish this. If I simply add the output file as a resource, then it doesn't seem to change when its source project is rebuilt. I even...
When I add a new class to a project, the class modifier/access specifier for the newly created class in Visual Studio is ommitted, thereby making it internal. Is there a way I can specify in Visual Studio settings that whenever I ask for a new class to be created, please make the class public? I looked in the Tools->Options menu but co...
I have a C# ComServerProject that implements an out-of-proc COM server, and I've selected the option "Make assembly COM-visible" on server project's "Assembly Information" dialog. In the same solution I have a C++ ComClientProject that should use the COM interface defined in ComServerProject. However, I don't know how to actually use th...
I've been converting some .net "Web Sites" to "Web Applications". This has been going along smoothly. One of the steps that I perform each time I do a conversion is I go to the web section of the project properties and set the virtual directory. So far, I've set up -http://localhost/site1 -http://localhost/site2 -http://localhost/site...

We have a DLL which provides the data layer for several of our projects. Typically when debugging or adding a new feature to this library, I could run one of the projects and Step Into the function call and continue debugging code in the DLL project. For some reason, that is no longer working since we switched to Visual Studio 2008... ...
