I'm using a BackgroundWorker to do some work. Part of that work involves showing a form. That form has some controls that are set as drag & drop targets. I know that the BackgroundWorker uses the ThreadPool to run, and that threads from the thread pool use the MTA threading model. I also know (thanks to this question) that when you have...

I am making do with...
Some people have mentioned RockScroll and MetaScroll in This Question, but those only seem to work in code, is there something that will work with any file type, including plain text files? In Resharper I can do ALT-SHIFT-F11, but again, that only works in source files, I need this functionality in plain text files as well. If not then...

I've got it working so that that it is generating a Setup.exe which installs the .NET framework automatically if needed (via the prerequisites mechanism), but I've been asked to show a confirmation...

Sometimes though, I get a tree-view for each breakpoint, as shown below (there are 26 child nodes of the expanded node). All the tree nodes refer to the same line of code, and all the optional columns display the same data for each node. I gue...
I've seen various suggestions that hard disk speed is a big factor in Visual Studio compilation performance. There is now a relatively cheap hybrid hard drive available called the Seagate Momentus XT. This has a 7200 RPM hard disk of 250, 320 or 500GB and a 4GB SLC NAND SSD. Has anyone tried this in their development machine? Did it ...
I'm a bit confused about all that Does <compilation debug="true"> in web.config mean that you are in Debug mode? I guess no? Is this related to debug/release mode? Is the "publish..." action in VS2008 automatically compile in "release" mode? Where can I bind "publish..." action to "release" mode? When I "publish..." a project and if I...

To enable this, developers have created their database object scripts including 'if exists.. drop' checks at the top of the script and ...

Currently we have a bunch of web sites (web site projects) that I think should be converted to web application projects. Everybody agrees. But a number of custom BuildProviders are used to generate controls and unfortunately MSDN says that Adding a customized BuildProvider class to the Web.config file works in an ASP.NET Web site bu...
