I've noticed something peculiar about Visual Studio. First, try typing this (C#) somewhere in a function: class Foo { public void Bar() { string s; int i = s.Length; } } Now, right away it will mark the s in s.Length as an error, saying "Use of unassigned local variable 's'". On the other hand, try ...

It stands to reason that Visual Studio (.NET compiling and the IDE) would run better on a $5000 server than a $500 desktop. Does anyone have experience running Visual Studio in a virtual machine hosted on a server in this price range, with access via RDP? (Assume modern hardware available for the stated prices.) Obviously, there will b...
I've set the OutputPath, IntermediateOutputPath, and BaseIntermediateOutputPath tags in all my csproj files. Despite that, Visual Studio creates extra "obj" folders in my source directories. As far as I can tell, it creates the directory obj\Debug\TempPE and then leaves it empty. I don't mind Visual Studio creating all sorts of crap, bu...
I know msbuild will be installed, if I install Visual Studio 2005 or 2008. I know msbuild is also installed if I install the .NET Framework SDK. As of .NET 3.0, I think there is no longer a separate ".NET Framework SDK". Instead if I want the free SDK stuff - all the .NET command line tools, all the base class libraries - then I ...

I was wondering what approaches others might have for testing domain services against a database? I already have a series of mock repositories that I am able to use in the domain services for testing the domain services themselves. Part of the construction of these mock repositories is that they build out sample aggregates and associat...
When debugging you can tag an object with "Make Object ID" so you can follow instances of the object through the call stack and object graphs. Is there any way to see a list of all objects that you've tagged regardless of the current stack and local variables? ...
I'm trying to create an installer in VisualStudio 2008 that will prompt the user with a "Run application when finished" checkbox. I was able to create the dialog with no problem: User Interface, select End, right-click, add dialog, CheckBoxes (A). I then tried adding a custom action to run my app. Again, no biggie: Custom Action...
I changed some parameters and now I don't remember how to "go back". I'd like to know if it's possible to reset the build settings. I don't mean the IDE settings(on tools->import/export). Thanks ...
