Is there a way to write an application that can connect to a running instance of Visual Studio and issue commands to it? For example, could I write a WPF app with a button that, when clicked, issues a "Build.BuildSolution" command to an already-open instance of Visual Studio, causing it to start a build? I'm sure I could use SendKeys to...
While I am still new to C# I'm curious if there is a way to tell windows that it needs to set aside X memory to run this application. While debugging (F5) I occasionally get a random "error writing to protected memory" notice, and it's usually fine for a bit after I restart the version of Visual Studio. Once in a while it takes a win...
Do the useful add-ins (Resharper, StyleCop, etc.) to Visual Studio speed up your work? Or tools need too many resources and you have to wait until each add-in completes execution? [Update]: By the way does some body notice whether performance of IDE + Resharper is better for solutions that contain web sites or web applications? ...
I am writing a Visual Studio add-in to process C++ code, and think that COM interop is slowing me down to much. I therefore want to pass a C# reference to a COM object to a small C++ DLL, have the DLL perform the necessary calculations and return back a string. I would be passing a CodeFunction2 object to the DLL and getting an XML str...
Hi, I recently implemented a quick T4 template to generate some data access related classes in our app (Thanks Oleg). One problem I am facing is that my template does need to read data from an XML file that is part of the solution. Obviously, the path to the XML data must be relative. But when I first implemented it yesterday, it looke...

I'm looking at some codes which makes heavy uses of templates. It compiles fine on GCC, but not on VS (tested on 2003 - 2010 beta 1), where it fails during syntax analysis. Unfortunately I don't know enough of the code structure to be able reduce the problem and reproduce it in only a few lines, so I can only guess at the cause. I'm hopi...
Hi, I am using AnkhSVN in Visual Studio. How can I delete all files from SVN as I delete them from Visual Studio (files ARE NOT included in projects).

I developed a VS 2008 add-in and added a custom menu item to context menu for "Project" nodes in Solution Explorer.

Can someone with more ...
