I moved one of my VS projects (C#) from one machine to another (SVN checkout) and when I'm trying to build it there I'm getting the following error: Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information. That doesn't give too much information about the nature of the problem. Th...
I know this isn't a programming question but it is a programming tool question. In Visual Studio 2008 Team Edition (version 9.0 with .NET 3.5 SP1) when I copy and paste references from one csproj to another (with the context menu in the 'Solution Explorer' view) I get the following error: Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from...
What features do you want to see in Visual Studio that are not included out of the box? I'd like to be able to: Add projects and references by dragging to the Solution Explorer. Collapse to project definitions in the Solution Explorer. Although the second can be achieved with a macro. PS: R# is does not count as a feature! ...
Is there a flag I can set so that the compiler (linker?) will output a list of all the functions called by (not just defined in) each separate source file during the compilation(linking) process? Thanks, ...
Hi, Newly created environment variables are not passed on to visual studio sometimes. What may be the problem? The environment variables are not visible to VS even when I close and restart it. This is an intermittent problem and thus hard to diagnose. ...
I'd like to include revision history in a menu system of my builds so that users can see it and it's auto-built from the svn repository before each build. My team doesn't have the core svn, only tortoise and ankh. I'd rather not have to go through configuration of it on each machine we use just for this feature if one of the tools we alr...
Hi there, I'm devdeloping a DLL in VS2008. When I examine the DLL in Dependency Walker, I can see a dependency on zlib1.dll. How can I find out where this comes from? My DLL is (statically) linked against HDF5.lib, HDF5_CPP.lib, and GSL.lib. I'm not including any zlib headers, so I'm a bit clueless about this. I know HDF5 depends on zlib...
I have an asp.net mvc application with typical unit tests attached. When unit tests run on the main developer's machine, all is well. When the junior guy tries to run them it throws: Warning: Test Run deployment issue: The assembly or module 'Borland.Janeva.Services' directly or indirectly referenced by the test container 'c:_code[m...
I just installed WMware Workstation for the first time, and noticed that it included some new toolbars in Visual Studio for me to be able to debug applications on a virtual machine. Has anyone used this feature? How do you use it, and what do you debug with it? What are some of the benefits of debugging under a virtual machine as oppos...
Hi, I am working on a first time C# project in Visual Studio 2005 and I am wondering if there is anything special that needs doing to change the application icon apart from changing the correct resource in the project properties. I manage to view the new icon displayed in Explorer, but the icon in the application, the tray, and the tas...
I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Suite. The "Configuration Manager" menu item is missing for me. I've assigned a keyboard shortcut to the Configuration Manager, but it doesn't have any effect (actually, it produces a "ding" sound). How do I get the Configuration Manager to work for all projects? ...
When I use .load SOS in Visual Studio's immediate window and accitentally issued a command that result in a long list of output (e.g. !dumpheap -type System.String -min 100), the immediate window just can't stop listing the values and keeps scrolling for hours. All I can do is kill the process and restart debugging. This is very annoying...
Visual Studio has a lot of environment variables like $(TargetFileName) but I can't seem to find a list of all of them on MSDN or via Google. Does such a list exist? ...
I have written a code generator using CodeDom and it generates a number of classes from stored procedures. I'd like to add its execution as a build step and then add all of its classes to the solution programatically at build-time. How do I do this? ...
I have a visual studio deployment project with a custom action. I want to use that custom action to run a .bat file. As simple as this task sounds, it has got me stumped. It seems that within the context of the custom task .dll it doesn't see that bat file in the "Program Files" directory. Anyone have any pointers on this? Just as an ex...
How do I disable a specific node so the user can not select it. Hiding it for the user is also valid. I tried the Visible property but that hides the entire tree (all nodes). I only want a few of the nodes disabled/hidden. C# using Visual Studio 2005 TreeNode Editor. ...
I'm trying to use the Uniform grid control to organize several buttons (to be specific it is a calculator, and I'm trying to create the buttons from my numberpad) I think the uniform grid is what I want to use to organize my buttons, but I can't seem to figure out how to make a button "span" multiple rows. For example the + button on mo...
Im writing a wpf project and using the MVVM paradigm, what i was wondering is if i should write my view model classes in their own project. Advantages i can see is that your ui project would never have to know about your business logic. (not have a reference to it) however if i want to use the ICommand interface in my view model i stil...
I have a fluent interface for an IoC container registration process, and this contains some classes that are used to build up the registrations. For instance, I can do this: builder.Register<IFoo>().From.ConcreteType<Foo>(); However, at each step after a dot, intellisense pops up showing the four standard methods from the Object clas...
Visual Studio is kind enough to generate a lot of code for us when we create and design Windows.Forms controls. It also surrounds most of it with a #region statement. In newer versions it also uses a partial class to separate generated from manually created code. Developers are supposed to edit code only in certain areas. But nothing p...
