One of the projects has around 2000 resources out of which only 400 are actually used. How do I remove those unused resources? I tried to accomplish the task by searc...
I'm a solo developer running Visual Studio 2008 and looking into MSBuild to improve my build process. Almost all of the tutorials I've found so far have plenty of information about writing a build file. However I'm having a lot of trouble finding out how to integrate MSBuild into Visual Studio. Maybe MSBuild is only used with something ...

A DataSet knows how to serialize to a stream via WriteXml(). I have an object that wants a readable stream. How can I connect the DataSet to this other object? The plumbing analogy: suppose a 1/2" copper pipe has a "male" outlet, and a valve also has a "male" fitting. To connect the two I need an adapter - female on both ends. I...
Using visual studio search and replace, is there a way to search for two or more instances of something? Visual Studio regex does not seem to support the "{}" syntax for indicating quantity. E.G: Match Text: 11 OR 111 OR 1111 Standard Regex: [1]{2,} ...

In Expression Blend, you can view and edit the control template of objects in the "Objects and Timeline" panel. I'm wondering if there's an equivalent feature in Visual Studio or if there's something free (or very inexpensive) I can download that will allow me to do this. Here's a screen cap from Expression Blend that shows what I'm tal...
I have been programming almost exclusively in Vim since 1/1/2001, and I feel that Vim fulfulls all my needs as an editor/IDE, but I can't help but wonder if perhaps there have been some new killer features developed for other IDEs in the last decade that would allow me to be more productive than I can be using Vim. So I ask: What are the...

So I can just put them into folder under my solution, and... how to obtain path to my solution (or test project source code) when unit test is executing? ...
Everything's in the title. I use MoreUnit in Eclipse which allow me to switch back and forth between a class and its unit test and I was wondering if anything like this was available in Visual Studio 2008. Thanks Alexandre ...
I need to convert expressions of the form: return *; into: return filter(*); It seems simple enough to express it with wildcards, however, in visual studio's search & replace dailog, there's no way to associate the first asterisk with the second one.

I created a trivially simple empty project and chose "File | Export Template". All this works and I can now add a project of that type if I restart VS. What I want to be able to do is customise the tree node that my custom project templates appear under in the New Project dialog. For instance, at the moment they appear directly under 'Vi...
