Not sure if this has been asked before, and I'm making this a wiki...
Anyways, I'm sure you've heard of Project Euler. My question is if there are any other sites like this? You know, more challenges and things for programmers to hone their skills? I like Euler but it's strictly math-based, and I'd like to expand it a little to other topics.
After full fresh Windows XP system reinstallation, I've installed SQL Server 2008 R2 and Visual Studio 2010. Soon I've found that I also have some very handicapped version of VS 2008 IDE installed as a part of VS2010 or SQLServer. At the same time there are a lot of interesting projects on the Web still targeting VS2008. Can I install a full-featured VS 2008 now, without it breaking something (for example by replacing some files with older versions)?
When I change the target framework of any project in Visual Studio 2010 it does not actually change the System assembly references. For example if I target v2.0 and check the properties of System and System.Data I can see that they are still both v4.0. If i change the target to v3.5, System stays at v4.0 but System.Core changes to v3.5.
Because of this I am truly not targeting anything except v4.0.
I realize that Visual Studio has the "/P" option to generate preprocessed files, but it's extremely inconvenient. I'm looking for an addin that allows you to right-click on a file and select "view preprocessed" - or any similar solution that would basically preprocess the currently-open file (with the appropriate options from the current configuration) and show me the output, with no extra hassle. Does such a thing exist?

Sorry for newbie question, but
I saw there was some license file on ISO image and it tells it wont allow me to develop commercial software , but there was Free registration, and I think that after registration I can develop application on it for free .
Correct me if I'm not right or Tell me if I am :) thanks.
We're trying to script a cad program, and this is the example for controlling the date in our design slugs, but I don't even know what language it is to know what to do with it.

Hello,
My Visual Studio solution file has lots of build configurations that significantly differ in which projects are enabled, and which are not. I'd like to automatically unload all projects that are turned off in active build configuration to save RAM and make VS faster. Is this possible?
In Visual Studio 2010 (RC) there is no longer a "browse with" context menu when right clicking .aspx pages. How can you change the default browser now?
By default it seems to use the operating system default browser, but I would prefer to use IE when debugging ASP.net apps. (I am testing this with ASP.net MVC 2)
I am using Visual Studio to compile some C++ Code. When I compile my program in Debug mode it works perfectly, but when I try compiling it in Release mode, VS halts when Generating Code (ie: took 20 mins and still didn't finish). After I forced VS to stop the build process, the executable generated was huge 2MB while it should be about 304KB.
Please can you help figure this out. How should I setup the configuration parameters for Release mode to work?
Thanks,
I travel a bit and I'm looking for a hosted vcs with good support for Visual Studio. My projects aren't open source so I need security as well. Any recommendations or suggestions? Thanks
I am using Visual Studio 2005 with Team Foundation Server.
When I right click a file under the source control and choose "compare" VS appears to freeze until I hit escape. My guess is that the window that is supposed to be popping up is somewhere I can't get to. I tried minimizing all the windows that I can and it is nowhere to be found.
Is there any equivalent of the VS7/8/9/10 Edit - Advanced - Format Document (Ctrl+K,Ctrl+D) function in Visual Studio 6 (specifically VB6)?
I've inherited an old codebase and it is messy in places so I'd like to tidy it up.
Just installed the trial version of Visual Studio 2010 RTM.
Now I keep getting :
The name 'NoPanel' does not exist in the current context
Errors (where no panel is just about any control in the .aspx file)
also I got several errors trying to deploy pages and it would not send the .cs file over ...or pdfs in the Content directory (even though I had copy always set)...
This is happening on a pair of mixed ASP.NET MVC and Webforms sites.
By default, Visual Studio tooltips remain visible for 10 seconds and then they disappear. I find this time too short to read some of the longer tooltips. Is there a way to increase the time they remain visible?
I recently started using a black theme for Visual Studio and love it. I would also like it if I could get all the panels to change colour to something more like the Expression suite of programs. Im guessing this is not possible in VS2008, but can it be done in VS2010 since it uses WPF?
I really want to learn how to program. A friend suggested I buy vs 2005 or a newer version if I'm serious about it. Is there a cheaper route? I would like to start with c#.
I have an entry in my hosts file that points somesite.com to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) so that I can test certain aspects of my web app (i goto http://somesite.com in a browser to test). Can someone suggest a way to debug a setup like this (in visual studio) that does not include using http://localhost?
I understand that this can most likely be done using remote debugger, if that is the best way can someone explain how thats setup (or a link to a good article).
What ways do I have for creating a unit test template like this? I'm using visual studio 2010 and Resharper 5.
using NUnit.Framework;
namespace SolutionName.Core
{
[TestFixture]
public class ClassNameTests
{
[Test]
public void test()
{
}
}
}
In Visual Studio 3 files are typically grouped together:
filename.aspx
filename.aspx.cs
filename.aspx.designer.cs
Is there a way to add another file that grouping so that it can be collapsed and out of view?
filename.aspx
filename.aspx.cs
filename.aspx.designer.cs
customfile.cs
Thanks
What steps are needed to target previous versions of the .NET framework in Visual Studio 2010? I installed VS and the .NET 2.0 SDK (from here), but only .NET 4.0 is in the list of available frameworks.
Any ideas what I'm missing?
I'm starting a new BREW project, and I'd like to compile with Warning Level 4 (/W4) to keep the application code nice and clean. The problem is that the BREW headers themselves don't compile cleanly with /W4.
In gcc you can differentiate between application and system headers by using -I and -isystem, and then by default gcc doesn't report any compilation warnings in system headers. Is there an equivalent mechanism in Visual C++?
Hi,

Please don't say what are all you know. Please tell me the best
Is there a way to do automatic profiling in visual studio 2008?
I know how the profiling works both from the command line and using the GUI in VS08.
What I want to accomplish:
After my nightly build I want to complete some profiling (instrumental) to see if some functions (will most likely always be the same) have changed in some negative way (or positive of course).
