I've created a custom build step in Visual Studio 2010 that produces multiple files by running a command-line tool. The step creates these files as it should when invoking a build, but on a clean, it only cleans the first file I listed as an output of the step in the "Outputs" field of the custom build step. I've separated individual fil...

Hi there, I'm having some trouble with Visual Studio and the creation of DataSets from a database. Whenever I create a new TableAdapter, the Insert-Methods parameters are, lets just say, fucked up.

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 to develop a C# Application. It retrieves a Shoutcast Stream. It reads 256 Bytes in each loop-cycle and is supposed to write them to the debug-output.

When you add a Web Reference in an ASP.NET project in Visual Studio the web application's root namespace is always added.

Whenever I debug a program that uses the C++ STL and I use Step Into the debugger shows me the code in the files where the data structure I'm using is implemented. How can I turn this feature off?

I have a Visual Studio project with several Custom Build steps in it, but some of them are simply failing to run. There are no errors and no warnings, and according to the build logs they are running, but they're definitely not. It was all working in older versions of Visual Studio, but it's now going wrong in Visual Studio 2010. ...
I'm trying to make it so that a LinkButton doesn't get greyed out in IE when Enabled="False". Disabling the postback like they suggest here and here works but doesn't stop the cursor and text colour from changing when you hover over it as if it were a button, like Enabled="False" does. <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkBut1" runat="server" CssCla...

I ignore this and resume the program, and everything continues fine (since the exception is used to signal a validation error.) Is there a way to mark that one exception as ignore...
