I am creating an GUI using winforms in C#, all the controls have numerous events. I would like to know which of these events are being fired and when. One way would be to put debug statements on each of the event handlers but that would require too much work. Is there any way of doing this in Visual Studio 2008/2010 or are there any tool...
I am using Visual Studio 2010, but this applies to VS 2008 as well. In my MVC views I prefer to write my coded elements as follows: <% if (somecondition) { %> <p>something</p> <% } else { %> <p>something else</p> <% } %> This just looks more readable to me than the following which is what VS auto corrects my code to look like...
I wrote my own Debugger Visualizer. It, and the attributes, are in their own assembly. There is no references or attributes in the assembly containing the class to be debugged - I want to make a drop-in dll that is optional for people to use. The class I am trying to debug is a generic. [Serializable] public class FinCellTable<S> :...

Recently, I've been running some tests with C++ and VB.net to compare execution speeds. In the last thread I posted, I talked about how I had encountered the fact that C++ was executing just as fast as VB, but got that issue resolved. Now I'm hitting my head against another wall: I had made a DLL for VB.net to test out this theory and c...
I like the named arguments feature of C# 4.0, I noticed that in some circumstances it greatly improves the readability of my code. Is there a refactoring extension to VS, which would convert a normal method call to a call with explicit argument names? Like this: Before: cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("Foo", "Bar"); After: cmd.Parameter...
I made a program with Visual Studio 2010. It required .NET Framework 4.0 to run, and the machine it needs to run on is not connected to the internet, so I found the redistributable online on my own machine and copied it over. I installed the software on the machine (it's a very simple program, I just made up an installer to do the .NET ...
I'm having an issue with a Visual Studio 2008 web application project where changes I make to the form or the code behind do not get built when debugging, and so I cannot use breakpoints and in fact none of the changes I make will display unless I navigate to "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files" and del...
I'm checking out the SQL Debugger using Visual Studio 2010 (connecting to a SQL 2005 Enterprise Server), and I can successfully debug a stored procedure by going to Server Explorer -> Right clicking on the procedure -> "Step Into Stored Procedure".

Hi all. I'd like to write an extension method that extends some member of my class. Specifically, I'd like to extend an enum. However, this is not working: namespace mynamespace { public class myclass { public enum ErrorCodes { Error1, Error2, Error3 } public static double GetDoubl...
I'm using log4net with a VisualStudio WinForms app, and I need log4net to find its config file. (I must keep the config settings in a separate file.) It works if the config file is in the directory with the executable, but how do I get it there? For now I've added a post-build action: copy "$(ProjectDir)test.log4net.xml" "$(TargetDir)"...
