Hi all, I have a question about creating a deployment script using a database project in Visual studio 2008. In a more traditional project we would create a deployment script that would create the DB and the initial objects for the first deployment. This would become the baseline. Any additional objects would be scripted as ALTER sta...
I feel like an idiot asking such a basic question but for the life of me, I can't find much on this topic. Anyway, how does one go about making a .lib file using Visual Studio (or whatever tool)? Let's say I have a project or work space with one .cpp file and .obj in it. TIA, Mike ...
When I installed VS2008 and it asked me to pick my layout, I accidentally picked Web Development. Is it possible to go back and make it apply the C# layout? ...
Hi everybody, I managed to set NASM as compiler for separate .asm files, but I can't find a way to set NASM as compiler for inline assembler (__asm directive). For example, helloWorld db "Hello world !",0 won't compile (assembler syntax error, found "db"). Is there a way to do that ? Or am I bound to use MASM or use another deve...
Why would Visual Studio all of a sudden start using tons of CPU as it tries to implement Intellisense? I happen to be working with LINQ queries in VB.NET, but no idea if that's related or not. I've tried closing and reopening VS, but that has no effect. I'm not sure what else it might be related to, which makes researching it difficult a...
If I put a header (a.h) into stdafx.h and that header includes another header (b.h) that is not mentioned in stdafx.h, will b.h be visited every time someone includes a.h or is it compiled in as part of a.h? If it is compiled into a.h, what happens when someone includes b.h directly? Will this be precompiled or not? My motivation for ...
When I use Visual Studio for a C++ application, it generates a cl.exe command line with an /FD option. But I can't find that option in the compiler documentation Is it a legacy option? what does it do? ...
I have an abstract user control(baseModule) that has a property that I plan on using a bitwise comparison on to determine what export types are supported by that module. In the designer of a module derived from baseModule, I am presented with a combobox with the ability to just select a single value (Html, Xml, etc.) I would like to be...
I am trying to install Visual Studio 2008 at a university's computer lab. The lab machines (XP Pro) are configured so that students don't have Administrator rights when they log in. So when I try to build or debug a class library project in Visual Studio 2008, I get this error: "Cannot register assembly 'C:\Documents and Settings(usernam...
I just started working on my first Visual Studio project, and I imported all the existing code for the project into an SVN repo of mine without checking which files were binary and which weren't. So now I'm trying to clean up the repo and I've come across some .sbr, .pch, and .res files. I figure the .pch file doesn't need to be in s...
I have an existing directory structure that is all nicely checked into SVN, so I don't really want to mess with it. The website code lives in a folder called C:\Projects\TheProject\Website. I want to bring the website files into a new Web Application Project without changing the directory structure. Ideally the resulting file structure...
Working on three different computers at two different locations, on projects that are in subversion, I once in a while forget to check in stuff at one location, so that I cannot work on the latest code, when I want to continue working on the project at another location. I am sure other have had similar problems. What are some things I ...
My project is developed in Visual Studio 08, in C#. It's a standalone desktop application, about 60k lines of code. Once upon a time I loved working on this software - now that the compliation time has grown to approx 2 minutes, it becomes a far less enjoyable experience... I think that my lack of experience in C# may be a factor; I hav...
Both Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008 is installed on my PC, but when I open a .aspx or .master file from Explorer, it opens in 2005. I would like them to open in 2008. I could change the file associations manually, but there are quite a lot of file extensions to go through. Is there an easy way to give all the file associat...
Using VS 2008 I created a setup file for my Project, I run the setup file in my system, and My Project is working fine. If I install my project to another system, is asking .Net Framework 3.5 at the setup time. .Net Framework 3.5 is needed for installing my Project? Before i installing my project, i install the .net framework 3.5, It...
I'm going to develop a bunch of projects with Qt that should compile both under Visual Studio with Qt integration (commercial) and Qt Creator with LGPL SDK. My primary IDE is VS but I've grown to like Qt Creator too. It would be nice to be able to work in both of them simultaneously. I need to do it in some extent anyway. The most annoy...
I'm working on a small team project, and would like to play around with VS2010 without forcing the entire team to. I would be fine maintaining 2 project files if there was some sort of script or app to help do so. ...
I see that I would benefit from using the class view in visual studio. It would give me better overview over my classes, their methods and make it easier for me to see where and when to refactor my class. I assume that it would give me a better structure and enhance the readability of my code. But.... I find it to awkward to use. I tr...
Is there a way to find out the assembly name at design-time (i.e. not using reflection or runtime APIs such as System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly) from within Visual Studio? The scenario requires a tool to get the assembly name that a Visual Studio project will eventually compile into. This is like parsing the AssemblyName pro...
I'm trying to publish a program in vs2008 but I get the following error, can not publish because a project failed to build. An error occurred while signing: signtool.exe not found. I've been searching Google for some time now but I can't find the answer. I can't find signtool.exe; can anyone tell me where I can get it? ...
