I've used the "Export Template" feature numerous times for C#, ASP.NET, WinForms, etc. projects. Today I tried to do it for a C++ project and noticed "Export Template" was grayed out in the File-menu. Is it not possible to create C++ template projects in VS 2008 ? ...
We have 3 VS2008 projects. Each project builds a executable and supporting files. All 3 projects will eventually ship together as an application. Up till now we have been using a separate SVN repository for each project and managing them separately with TortoiseSVN. At this stage it is now becoming necessary to share files between th...
We are working on a solution with various projects inside of it, the bulk of which is inside our Domain class library. This project contains a app.config file with various settings. The stripped down structure of the solution looks like this: Solution Domain project app.config Integration tests project app.config...
about 10% of the time when I go to compile code that should compile, blend fails. I know the code should compile because w/o changing a thing it will compile in VS just fine. The really weird thing is that about 50% or more of the time, after compiling in VS and I come back to blend, it compiles. >_< So, why does blend suck at compiling...

I made a simple change of a property to an auto property and broke the build because the property was referenced in a conditional compilation section. I was building in debug and the reference was in a section of code that's only compiled in release configuration. Is there any way to catch these errors without manually switching the buil...
The ASP.NET MVC 2 preview 2 was first released for Visual Studio 2008 only. Later on, it was also included in Visual Studio 2010 beta 2. I've read that ASP.NET MVC 2 will be included in Visual Studio 2010 RTM, but is there any official word on weather or not ASP.NET MVC 2 will be officially supported in Visual Studio 2008 / .NET 3.5? ...
Can anyone tell me if components made on .net 3.5 can work in .net 4.0, there are a number of components in my software that will have to be developed using .net 3.5, but the whole application must be based on wpf 4, which is on the .net 4 framework. ...
I often find myself remembering the name of a class that I want to use, but not remembering the containing namespace. Apart from searching the web, i wonder if a good method exists for looking this up. ...
I have a fairly large project which uses make for its build infrastructure. When we perform a build, we take advantage of cl.exe's /showInclude option to find source dependencies. Is there a similar capability for rc.exe? The basic problem is this: A makefile specifies a resource to be compiled (say, resources.rc). The resource file...
I am so sorry if this question seems too easy but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I am creating a ruby in steel project. I have created a html.erb and rb file in a vs project (ruby on rails).

Seems totally backward to me that such an excellent IDE would hide line numbers by default. This seems like an obvious oversight, or poor default. Which means I'm missing something - because in the VS dev team vs Me, I know who has more experience. So what am I missing? Why would I -not- need to see line numbers in code? ...
I have created a component and it is automatically shown in toolbox when I open the solution. It can be placed on form, I can change properties etc. When I close the solution and install it in toolbox (choose toolbox item menu), I want this component to be shown in a different group (other than "All Windows Forms" group). How can I do i...
I'm a fan of style cop but hate the way it dosn't have a more producticve way of resolving errors. So I'm thinking, to give me a wee project to keep me happy in my spare time, of creating a Visual studio plugin to automate some error fixing. Has anyone authored a plug in before and got any useful links, hints, experience to share? ...
I have just created a virtual directory and placed my app's files into it ready to allow some users to test. The problem is when I then go to my visual studio project (which uses a different virtual directory when running and seperate code location) I get debug errors randomly appearing from my users actions. How do I isolate debuggin...

I've put off using generated code as part of the build process for fear of the complexity it introduces into the build process. Is there a simple way to integrate build-time generated code into an app? The kind of code I'm thinking of is similar to the resource and settings file code generation that Visual studio performs: Having int...
