I'm curious if anyone has figured out how to create their own Debug Output window in Visual Studio. For applications without a real console window (e.g. web apps), writing Debug or Trace messages end up in the Debug output window along with every other message (including overly verbose DLL loading messages). It would be great if we coul...
I need to pass assembly code as arguments in Visual Studio, therefore have a function e.g.: myasm(char *x) that will accept arguments like "mov eax,eax\n add eax,eax" Unfortunately I can't use GCC compiler for what I'm doing. Is there a way to do this in VS? (Note: the assembly code I'm passing is dynamic so I can't predict what it is ...

I dont like the way VS formats the code so, I've unchecked all 3 options in Text Editor / C# / Formatting. I've also checked 'Ignore spaces in declaration statements'. In most cases it works. But when I'm surrounding code by eg. #region I noticed my declarations are reformatted (Removed TABs) Is it a way to protect against ?? I'm u...

I'm looking to extend some post build tasks to include the checking out and then checking in of a DLL. We are using TFS and I know there are command line tools to do this. What I don't know how to do is to integrate these into my existing post build tasks. Right now my post build tasks are simple and are managed in Visual Studio through ...
Within Visual Studio I'm pretty sure there is a way to "alias" a file among several projects. So in other words the actual file lives in only one place within the file system but has multiple references within two or more .csproj files. Short of opening the .csproj and creating such an alias, how would I do this within Visual Studio? ...

Any idea what can cause this? <asp:Button ID="bttnfinal" style="cursor:pointer;display:none" CausesValidation="false" OnClientClick="return true;" runat="serv...
My project is built in VB.Net Many times I find that Visual Studio has added subroutines to my code files even if a subroutine of the exact same name already exists. This can cause debugging nightmares as the new empty routine seems to override the correct routine. I think this can happen if I double-click on a control in the form Des...
Several times while debugging a VB.Net program I have found that continuation lines are missing from a subroutine designed to handle an event. The continuation character "_" is there but the following line is missing Example: Friend Sub TV_Main_Network_MouseDown _ Handles TV_Main_Network.MouseDown Will become Friend Sub...
I have written an External Tool that uses plink.exe to execute gcc on a Linux system and then capture the output back on VS's output window (there is a checkmark in Tools/External Tools/Use Output Window). But Linux outputs with utf-8 and so I get some garbage. Is there any way to get VS to translate that utf-8 output to readable output?...

I have a method call in the constructor of my user control that does something that won't work at design time (connecting to database), and the VS just bailed out when I tried to add that control to the GUI designer. Sure I can factor out those code to a separate method, but I don't like the idea that everytime I use that object I need t...
