Hi; I am trying to get RegPkg to register a Visual Studio 2010 extension package under HKCU rather than HKLM. Supposedly, the /RANU switch is for that (/? help lists the switch), but if I invoke "RegPkg.exe /RANU assemblyToRegister.DLL", RegPkg fails with "regpkg : error : Invalid Parameter 'RANU'" Tried various other placements and ca...
I'm working on a project that's a .NET extension to a rather large classic ASP project, using a lot of C++ COM objects that have been around in our code base forever. Unfortunately, there's a lot of hack-ish code on the C++ side, and I fear that I'm not experienced enough to work out the problem I've encountered. In a nutshell, I can i...
Hi, I recently ran into some strange problems. Changes to files that are not code-behind (and not gets compiled to a DLL) should not require you to recompile the whole website, and this has never been I problem for me. These should actually get compiled dynamically when you first access the resource, e.g. the first time when browsing a...
I'm using MS SQL for a project, but have always used MySql in the past. MySql has a really nice interface which lets you build queries, offers help, backup etc. What free programs are there for MS Sql that can do this. I'm currently a student so I have free access to MS Sql but the only interface I have for it right now is Visual St...
Try as I might to keep [SuppressMessage]s to a minimum in the codebase, new ones continue to get introduced. I would like some way to say in the code "I've reviewed this [SuppressMessage] and it is 'acceptable'". One thought was to create my own My.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessageAttribute class which inherits from System.Diagnostics.CodeA...

hello, I'm trying to find out what my choices are when I'm going to use user (persistent) settings. In vs Studio this is possible in the properties of your project but I'm getting to know the limits there: Only values are allowed that can be converted to string. Collections (e.g items in a Listbox, with a name and value) cannot be sa...

My main domain account does not have local admin privileges and I start Visual Studio using RunAs and another account that has local admin privileges.

My applications have a handful of config files, each one particular to the machine it's being deployed to (dev, production, etc.) I'm wanting to add them to the setup project, use radio buttons to select one and then have a script (or maybe custom action?) rename the selected files to connectionStrings.config, settings.config, etc. Is t...
Silly questions... purely aesthetic... given the picture above. How do you move the values up/down? For example, State belongs grouped with Height/Width/Top/Left (Window Position + state). Not the only project where I later add stuff and it slowly gets out of order. Can delete/re-add, but that gets tedious and error prone. Can just le...

Is there any way to get TFS to display friendly names rather than user names in TFS Alerts (notifications) ? Our company uses ID numbers as usernames, which makes the alerts next to useless until I go into TFS through Visual Studio and dig up the changesets and view the metadata on it. Actually, even then, the history still isn't very u...
I have a project that builds in 32/64-bit and has corresponding 32/64-bit dependencies. I want to be able to switch configurations and have the correct reference used, but I don't know how to tell Visual Studio to use the architecture-appropriate dependency. Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way, but I want to be able to switch betw...
We recently bought two new build machines that have the same specs/hardware. From what I understand, the same or very similar disk images were used to load onto that machine. But, I believe Visual Studio 2008 was installed later on both. We have started a build of the same source code on both machines, but one of the machines always fini...
