For a small community discussion, what are some essential Visual Studio macros you guys use? I just started learning about them, and want to hear what some of you guys can't live without.
Visual studio does not show all the compile errors at once.
for example one time it says I have two errors and when I fix them then 102 more compile errors are showing up and these new errors are not dependent on those two previous errors.
How can we tell it to go through all the code and show all compile errors at once
For the longest time I've been curious to code in Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) just as an academic endeavour and to gain a better understanding of what's "happening under the hood".
Is there any sort of Visual Studio support for this in the form of: project templates, IntelliSense integration, and those kind of RAD features?
I have a .net assembly that needs to be 32-Bit and needs to be /LARGEADDRESSAWARE.
I know how to do this with EditBin, but I wonder if there is a built-in way in Visual Studio 2010? Or alternatively, did someone write an MSBuild Task for this?
Hi, how i can configure the Test project of visual studio to use all CPU's core.

Is there any guideline on how to use Visual Studio 2008 unit test development? I am developing a n-tier web application using entity framework. My problem is to create Unit Test for the methods which INSERT or UPDATE to the database.
Hi,
I get the following exception: 'Cannot find the method on the object instance' when I hover over a property of one of my classes in Visual Studio 2010.
Any ideas?
Anyone know the OS requirements for this? The actual System Requirements mention Windows 7 but after spending the time installing and configuring and finally get it up and running, went to the Testing Center and I get this message.
"The Test Management features are not supported on Windows Home Premium."
I now have to upgrade my Windows but I want to be sure what version is required
Trying to add a 'box' to a form at design time, I looked up the msdn and it clearly states that I should be able to do this using the OvalShape and RectangleShape control tools in my Visual Studio 2008.
shape container
Now it should be found under the visual Basic PowerPacks, but all I have listed is Pointer and PrintForm, how do I add it?
Visual Studio 2010 adds a new feature to improve loading speed of references in "Add .NET Reference" tab.
For example, when the target framework of project is 3.5, it displays only 3.5 assemblies in the list, and says "Filtered to: .NET Framework 3.5". This feature is quite annoying, as it makes impossible to find an older assembly, unless you change a target framework in compilation options. Is there any option to disable that filtering?
I have a Setup Project in my solution in Visual Studio 2008 SP1. The application installs fine but it is not loading my prerequisite of SQL Server CE.
I have the following configurations set:
Do I need to do anything else, like with a Custom Action or anything like that? Thanks.
Is it true that Visual Studio 2010 has now COBOL compiler inside?
I saw this in one article.
I also saw a video of it.
The question is, where can I find it? I've been searching VS2010 and still, no clues.
Thanks for answering.
I wonder if it's possible to save all files in a Visual Studio 2008 project into a specific character encoding. I got a solution with mixed encodings and I want to make them all the same (UTF-8 with signature).
I know how to save single files, but how about all files in a project?
Does Visual Studio .NET 2008 come with UISpy? I ask this for for the reason that my copy of VS installed, but everything else pretty much errored out and I want to know if I need to fix it for UISpy (not worried about compact framework or device emulators). Thanks.
I have Visual studio 2008 running on windows-7(x86). I have installed subversion (server+client), tortoise svn and ankhsvn on my system.
I could add my solution to subversion's repository using the url: File://c:/svn_repository/
But when I try "svn://localhost" I do not see any repository on my system.
My friend who is on the same LAN cannot see my repository.
What repository URL should I use for others in LAN to be able to see my repository?
Hi,
In Visual Studio 2008 we run a post build event which calls NANT and in turn creates our config files.
e.g.
if $(SolutionDir) == . GOTO end
nant -buildfile:$(SolutionDir)default.build create..web.config
Is there a way to run this only on ReBuild?
Thanks
Does Visual Studio / Resharper support this? By refactor copy I mean to be able to enter new class name in some dialog, and to have the tool do all the refactoring (renaming) for you. No Copy of ... file names, and no error upon having two classes with same name in the project.
Netbeans does this out-of-the-box :(
I have a very simple DLL written in unmanaged C++ that I access from my application. I recently switch to Visual Studio 2010, and the DLL went from 55k down to 35k with no code changes, and now it will no longer load in Windows 2000. I didn't change any code or compiler settings. I have my defines setup for 0x0500, which should include Windows 2000 support. Has anyone else run into this, or have any ideas of what I can do?
I've got a visual studio deployment project and would like to add an option to view a readme file from the final screen.
So basically there would be a link or checkbox that the user can select if they want to view the readme.
Does anyone know of an easy way to do this?
Hello,
I have plug-in for VS 2008.
I cannot seem to figure out how to remove it.
It's liquid xml studio. The program it self cannot be uninstalled because it's not listed in the add/remove programs folder and the uninstall app is missing.
I have a solution that I am trying to build in Visual Studio which gives the following error.
Project : error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Copy the executable to HAMR platform"
The last few lines of the build log are as follows:
Copy the executable to HAMR platform
The system cannot find the path specified.
Project : error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Copy the executable to HAMR platform"
I understand that there may be a wrong path mentioned in the code but as there is no line number to the error I don't know how to detect the source of the problem
I'm creating a load test in visual studio. Could somebody help me choose the settings right. What I want is to test application with 1 user then give it a rest for two minutes, then test with 4 and so on. Also after resting for 2 minutes I would like user load increased gradually.
The local help in Visual Studio 2005 never comes back with anything. Also, if I'm not connected to the Internet, of course I get nothing. When I run dexplore eventually it takes 100% of cpu. Also, the F1 help doesn't work (of course). I've repaired both VS 2005, MSDN in other orders.
Any help will be appreciated!
THanks
