I'm now involved with a C++ project, and I've never developed in C++ before. The question I have is the structure of projects that are multi-platform. One developer is working in VC++ and another in XCode. XCode doesn't have literal directories, they're logical (groups) directories. Should big C++ projects have actual folders, and if...
I've noticed recently that AutoCAD gets slower and slower after as I debug it, close, then debug again. In addition AutoCAD just freezes when I try to open it without debugging (in or out of visual studio). Has anybody else ran into this problem before and what is the solution? ...

Hello! I'm attempting to follow David Betz' wonderful advice on how to use a library project in both your .NET and Silverlight code. In particular, I'm using his File-Level technique: I have a .NET library project already set up, so I created a Silverlight project, and added links in the latter to the former's files. Unfortunately, the...

In Visual Studio 2010 I've created a Silverlight app by choosing the "Silverlight Business Application" template. I changed some code in Home.xaml.cs, closed Visual Studio, opened it again, and began making more changes. But now the changes that I make to the code don't take effect at all.

I've been diligently memorizing VS 2010 shortcuts based on the cheatsheats on Scott Guthries blog. The shortcuts in the cheatsheet for WIndows dont match my setup e.g. Ctrl W,C is the cheatsheet shortcut to open the class viewer but mine is Ctrl + SHift, C. Maybe this is because my 08 settings got picked up at some point. I've changed...
Hello all, we're building a cross-platform utility which must have a small footprint. We've been pulling header files from boost as and when we need them but now we must link against some boost C++ thread code. The easiest immediate solution was to create our own custom library using CMake's "add_library" command to create a static libra...
