I have a visual studio 2003 project that uses a custom build step to create a pair of .h and .cpp files. The .h and .cpp files are in the project as is a .proto file that has the custom build step. The problem is that although the .h and cpp files are generated whenever the .proto file is changed other cpp files that depend on the .h fil...
I've been working on porting a legacy project from Visual Studio 6 to 2008. After jumping a few hurdles I now have the new project building and executing. However, I've noticed that the output from the two versions of the program are very slightly different, as though the floating-point calculations are not equivalent, despite the fact...

I tried to start a new "Silverlight Business Application" project in VB.NET, but the project won't compile out of the box. For example, I get an error message to replace WebContext with WebClient. What might be the problem with the Silverlight B...
Although this question isn't directly about code it's related to programming and seems better put here than, say, serverfault or superuser. -- I'm a developer with Visual Studio 2010. Microsoft's newest web server offering for developers is IIS Express. ScottGu indicated this combination is workable: IIS Express will work with VS 2...
I am debugging my silverlight application. This application reads an xml file to draw some stuff. Everytime I change my xml file, refreshing the page does not display the new results. I have to get back to visual studio and hit Ctrl+F5. I have added random query string in my xap url <param name="source" value="ClientBin/SilverlightOrg...
I want to create a custom control in C# which I will use multiple times in my application, but will not likely use in any other applications. I have seen several websites which explain how to create a custom control and add it to the Visual Studio toolbox. They instruct you to create a project with the custom control which compiles to ...
I would like to restrict what they see in the file upload dialog, which is set to "All Files" by default. I understand how to validate that they only uploaded a certain file type, that is not the question here. I would just like to know how to default the file type in the file selection dialog. Is there any way to change this to "PNG on...
Background: I have a set-up where I have two .csproj in a solution that use different reference .dlls. Both projects are directed toward the same source code. To avoid any segments of code where methods have changed, I created a custom configuration (in addition to the default Debug and Release configurations) and swapped between code ...

I have a class in a namespace that I've used extensively throughout my solution. As the number of classes in this namespace has grown I realize that it would've been a better design decision to place this class (and a few others) into a sub-namespace. Is there any easy way to do this in Visual Studio(C#)? I'm thinking something like th...
I am trying to devise a method which helps to load DLL from a common location for various products. This helps the following directory structure to avoid file replication. INNSTALLDIR/Product1/bin INNSTALLDIR/Product2/bin .. INNSTALLDIR/ProductN/bin> Instead of replicating DLLs in each product's bin directory above, I can cre...

What is the difference between Start Debugging (F5) and Start without Debugging (Ctrl-F5) when the code is compiled in Release mode? I am seeing that Ctrl-F5 is 10x faster than F5 for some C++ code. If I am not wrong, the debugger is attached to the executing process for F5 and it is not for Ctrl-F5. Since this is Release mode, the comp...
