It is well known that on XP Pro the whole OS can only use 3GB. On 32 Bit Windows Server 2003 the limits are higher. How much can visual studio address and use if the OS isn't imposing artificial constraints? Background. I have 4GB, use Resharper, get lots of out of memory errors and I'm wondering if throwing more hardware at the proble...
I just upgraded a solution from .NET 2/Visual Studio 2005 to .NET 3.5/Visual Studio 2008. I have a Web Application Project "W" that has a project reference to a class library project "C". When I build "W", "C" is compiled and copied local, and all is good. However, if I make a change to C, or build C with a different configuration, an...
Does anyone know how to copy all the lines in the Visual Studio "Find Symbol Results" window onto the clipboard? You can copy a single line, but I want to copy them all.

Here's the scenario: Platform: VS2005 and language is VC++ Situation: There's just 1 assembly CMPW32. It has 2 projects: 1 is a DLL project called CMPW32 and the 2nd one is an .exe project called Driver They both share the same Debug folder under the main assembly folder.

Using VS .NET 2003. Would like to run the .exe from outside the IDE (i.e. command prompt or double clicking .exe icon in windows) However, still want break points to hit in the IDE. How do I set this up? (Running from outside IDE but IDE seeing it as run from "Debug" -> "Start") Thanks. ...
I am trying to write an application that allows a user to click a button to see images as thumbnails from a folder in a modal popup. Inside of my modal popup I have a datalist. But from there I don't know where to go. I've already tried the 4guysfromrolla solution but it wasn't what I was looking for. How can I set up images as thumbnail...
I'm attempting to setup a .csproj file to have a conditional item group which will remove all of the elements in the <ProjectReference> item group. For example: <ItemGroup> <ProjectReference Include="..\..\..\..\Projects\Registrar\Ucsb.Sa.Registrar.Common\Ucsb.Sa.Registrar.Common\Ucsb.Sa.Registrar.Common.csproj"> <Project>{1ED...

I am the only the Developer in a relatively small shop that does make a lot of custom apps of all kinds. Money is not a factor in this discussion so aside from that What are some reason's, for and against, for me to use the Team System. We currently rely heavily on VS2008 Pro, Visual Source Safe. I could really use a better Source ...

A few times a day my VS2008 SP1 freezes if I edit XAML code. It just got stuck and I have to kill the process. It seems to be a problem with the IntelliSense or the spell-checking or whatever process is going on while I edit code. The problem is very apparent if I copy+paste some code. Even if it is just one word. Many times VS2008 adds ...
Dear ladies and sirs. I have recently encountered some inconsistencies in running unit tests inside VS2008 vs running the same unit tests with mstest on the command line. My scenario is a bit advanced, so I have probably hit some corners. I have many data driven unit tests running against the same DataSource. I also like experimenting ...
Hello, Recently I installed a Visual Studio 2008 extension called VS.Php, made by Jcx Software: http://www.jcxsoftware.com/vs.php It looks brilliant; IntelliSense and debugging for PHP! A godsend! Unfortunately, it assumes I have a white background in Visual Studio, but I have the hacker style "black terminal with green text", which m...
I'm working my way through figuring out how VWD applies styles depending on how you attempt to modify the formatting for text, and noticed it keeps putting in an span lang="en-us" tag in front of things. A check of google didn't produce anything that was relevent for VWD, so I thought I'd ask if anyone knows how to prevent this tag f...
How can we prompt for a computer restart after install from within a C# custom action? We are using VS 2005's setup project for our setup, and we need to programmatically decide to prompt for a restart (so it will not happen on every install, just on some). UPDATE: We're looking for something that is already built into the MSI custom a...
How to compile open source framework in Visual Studio C++, that has "makefile" only and no solution file? ...
Visual Studio tracks cursor positions and lets you move forward and backward through these positions. For example, you can type Ctrl+- to navigate backwards and Ctrl+Shift- to navigate forwards. I see that XCode tracks the history of which files you've visited, but does it also allow me to go forward and backward through the cursor loc...
I have a solution with a couple of projects with inter dependencies. When I make a change in a project and recompile, Visual Studio recompiles all projects, regardless of whether I changed them (or any of their precedents) or not. I am using only C# projects. I tried cleaning the output - no change. I checked the dates of my files - n...
