I need to search all of my codebase for "Url" and replace it with "URL". If I search for Url in Visual Studio I also get all my variables with "Url" in it. Anyone have a Regex I can use to only find Url within a quoted string e.g. "Use this Url:"? Edit I was looking looking for a quick and dirty way to find designer text and hard cod...
I've recently had Visual Studio Team System 2008 installed on my work system, and I can't use it to view (much less edit or debug) javascript files. If it opens the file at all--about 30% of the time--it's frequently cut off at the bottom. Additionally, the display format is awful, not at all what it's supposed to be set up to be. Tiny ...

Is there any way, either natively or through an addon, that I can filter the files shown in my database project in Visual Studio 2008 Database Edition? We have an older database that was worked on by lots of contractors, and so things aren't organized very well, and we have hundreds upon hundreds of stored procs and tables. So, not being...
I have a rather large DBML file and recently discovered that Visual Studio's MSLinqToSQLGenerator is generating different output than: SqlMetal.exe All.dbml /code:All.designer.vb /namespace:LINQ2FSE /pluralize /provider:SQL2005 It seems to have dropped an arbitrary (and I think relatively small) set of associations from the generated ...

I have searched the internet about how to achieve this, but no luck. Is this even easily achievable? If so, how? Thanks in advance. Update #1: #define USETRACE 0 #if !USETRACE && DEBUG ...
Hey fellas. I have an application that is designed to be run across a network. This means that the initial run of this application can take a while. So I've been putting together a splash screen to pretty the process up some. It uses threading to show the form via a static method. I'm still something of a threading novice, so when I go...

I am using Visual Studio for editing source code and once a while I switch to Windows Explorer to commit changes with TortoiseSVN. This procedure works well for me and I am quite happy with it.

Hi there, I'm working on an application for a lab project and I'm making it in C#. It's supposed to import results from a text file that is exported from the application we use to run the tests and so far, I've hit a road block.
