Keeping Visual Studio Projects on a Network Drive

We just did a move from storing all files locally to a network drive. Problem is that is where my VS projects are also stored now. (No versioning system yet, working on that.)

Breakpoint not hooked up when debugging in VS.Net 2005

Been running into this problem lately... When debugging an app in VS.Net 2005, breakpoints are not connected.

Unresolved External Symbol Errors switching from build library to exe or dll

I am building an application as a library, but to make sure I can get the output that I'd like, I switched it over to produce an exe. As soon as I did, I got several errors about unresolved external symbols. At first I thought that I didn't have a path set to the 3rd party library that I was referencing, so I added the folder to my pat...

Static library - visual studio 2005/6.0 compatibility

In the past we experienced some problems using a DLL library created with Visual Studio 2005 in our Visual Studio 6.0 application (VS2005 DLL was C++ unmanaged, of course). In your opinion can we fall in the same kind of problem if the library is static (*.lib) and not dynamic? ...

How do I set a data breakpoint in Visual Studio 2005 on the address of a dereferenced pointer?

I wonder if there's a way to do the following: I have a structure containing a member which is a pointer to a block of memory allocated by the kernel when I pass the structure to an API function (the structure is a WAVEHDR, the member is the reserved field.) I can set a data breakpoint on the value of the reserved member - that in itsel...
