I got nowhere Googling for this question so if this is a "Google Is Your Friend (GIYF)" question, I apologize in advance. I always print source code duplex to save paper. Is there an add-in for VS (2003) which allows you to print two pages on one side of the paper so I can print 4 pages on one sheet? I think this is called 4-Up prin...

To do this, I have used the Button's attribute collection (Add("onclick", script)). My script looks like this: string script = "return confirm ('You have selected' + docume...
I am supporting a number of .Net developers who are using Subversion to version control their work, but we have been running into a number of issues that seem to revolve around the additional files that Visual Studio uses to manage projects, do debuging, etc. Specifically, it seems that these files are causing conflicts due to the fact t...
I have written some code that makes use of an open source library to do some of the heavy lifting. This work was done in linux, with unit tests and cmake to help with porting it to windows. There is a requirement to have it run on both platforms. I like Linux and I like cmake and I like that I can get visual studios files automatically ...
I have a large project that has > 1000 files. When I press the green 'Play' button to start debugging, once everything is built, it can take up to 5 minutes for the app to start running. It looks like Visual Studio is loading and unloading various DLLs, but it also just sits there occasionally doing nothing. Running from the command li...
Hello everyone, In my Visual Studio, even I just wrote a single line of return in a C# console application, it will take me a minute after pressing F5 to execute the actual code (I mean the time it takes to stop on the single return statement after pressing F5 -- I set a breakpoint on return statement in Main function). I am wondering w...

When debugging C/C++ (unmanaged?) code in VS, after stepping out of a function, you can see the returned value in the 'autos' window: However, this does not work for C# code: Any suggestion on how to get the return value other than cluttering the code with temporary variables? ...

in VS 2008, I am attempting to design a windows form that is similar to a set of property pages but uses a TreeView to select the page rather than a TabControl. An example of this design is the Options dialog in VS 2008 itself. There are two reasons I want to do this: 1. I prefer the look and feel; 2. I want to give users the ability...
I have come across the recommended values for a Maintainability Index (MI) as follows: 85 and more: good maintainability 65-85: moderate maintainability 65 and below: difficult to maintain with really bad pieces of code (big, uncommented, unstructured) the MI value can be even negative Are these values are dependent on technology? ...

The application was previously being developed on Visual Studio 2005, and I've got it building mostly successfully on VS2008. Amongst other components, it included a Deployment Project which built a couple of executables (plus...
I know the ideal way to build projects is without requiring IDE based project files, since it theoretically causes all sort of trouble with automation and what not. But I've yet to work on a project that compiles on Windows that doesn't depend on the VisualStudio project (Ok, obviously some Open Source stuff gets done with Cygwin, but I'...
