The F7 key in Visual Studio - it allows the user to switch between the code for a designer element (e.g. a Windows Form or a Web User Control). This works great in Windows forms: when I'm in the .cs file for a visual element (e.g. a User Control), it shows me the visual designer. It doesn't work so great for me in ASP.NET: When I'm ...

I have a very limited programming background but we can access the source and try and get as close to possible so the devs won't give us too much grie...

I have a large C++ file (SS.cpp) which I decided to split in smaller files so that I can navigate it without the need of aspirins. So I created SS_main.cpp SS_screen.cpp SS_disk.cpp SS_web.cpp SS_functions.cpp and cut-pasted all the functions from the initial SS.cpp file to them. And finally I included them in the original file : #...
I'm currently using VS2008 and VB.NET. When I attempt to populate a Queue that has not been instantiated with objects, the program simply hangs without throwing an error. I have run into this issue multiple times in different parts of the program in the past few days. What could be the cause of this? Here's the code: Structure Conso...

Visual Studio 2008 has a bug in that you cannot use the dataset designer to set an int type field to be nullable. (There are error reports going back to Visual Studio 2005 but it seems this has never been addressed.) The only selectable behaviour is to emit code that raises an exception if an null value is passed back from the database...
Hey, I need a way to initialize my web control's properties when it's dropped on the designer area. As "initialize" I mean: If my control has a property Prop1. I need to assign a value to Prop1 and I need this value to be persisted on ASPx. I tried the following: Implement InitializeNewComponent on my ControlDesigner: This method is ...
Visual Studio has ways to automatically create a method. For example, you could double click on a button in the designer to create an event handler method or you could use the dropdown boxes at the top of the code editor to create an override or an event handler. For me, these methods seem to never place the new method at a reasonable p...

I'm with a fairly large team and we are running into problem with the other libraries we depend on, and getting the same project files to work for every one. The problem is that many people have more than one version of the same library (eg the project users boost 1.36, and I use boost 1.39 for some of my other stuff), and every develop...
