I am having several problems with tessdll in Visual Studio 2008. FYI, I created this app as an MFC application, I did this just to take advantage of the simple GUI I needed. It is just straight C++ and win32 from there on out. This builds fine as a debug release for some reason (as I have included the header files and lib files that I n...
Not sure if anyone else has come across this yet. I like to use a an indent of 2 or 3 and not the default 4 for visual studio because i find my code runs a bit far to the right and I prefer to not code over column 80 for readability's sake. When I change the indent and tabs to 2 using tools >> options >> Text Editor >> C# >> tabs and als...
I've used several Versions of the Delphi IDE for many years. When i'm using Delphi Prism, i have to deal with Visual Studio - in my case especially VS 2008.

Why does Visual Studio want to check-out a File when opened? I just double click the file to open it and Visual Studio wants to check it out. I did not make any changes to it.

For some reason the integrated debugger is causing an error as soon as I make reference to a third party vendor's dll class. This same code runs when it is built and ran as a release, stand alone. The two properties for debug and release should be the same as I have not really altered them. I added the lib file to the path for both build...

Let's say my class has a private integer variable called count. I've already hit a breakpoint in my code. Now before I press continue, I want to make it so the debugger will stop anytime count gets a new value assigned to it. Besides promoting count to a field and setting a breakpoint on the set method of the field, is there any other ...
Is there a way to define code snippets for another language, other then the default ones (C#, VB ...) in VS 2008 ? I'm using Intel's fortran compiler with Visual studio, and its integration in it is pretty complete apart from the code snippets part. I thought I read somewhere on msdn that you can't define new ones, for other languages. ...
Hello everyone, I know that in markup view Visual Studio will provide you with an enumeration of all the page names in your project (add an element and see what you get from Intellisense when specifying the ImageUrl attribute). My question is: how do I get to that enumeration? If that's not possible, what would be the best way in asp....
