When Vs2010 crashes, it wants to collect information to help microsoft fix the problem, with this dialog:
Unfortunately this is kind of annoying behavior because it takes more than 5 seconds. So I was wondering how to disable crash information collection on visualstudio 2010.
Is it even possible?
This article presents some of the changes in VisualStudio 2010 for Visual C++, focusing on new the build system (MSBuild), multi-targeting, IntelliSense and browsing experience.
I'd like to make it Ctrl-Shift-F to match VisualStudio.
I realize to do that I need to remove that binding from the Query-Save to File item.
But, I can't even add ANY shortcut. When I pull up the Tools/Customize box, pick Edit in the Categories and then Find-in-Files in the Commands, the box for "Modify Selection", where I assume I could add a shortcut, is greyed out.
Any clues?
I want to download emails from gmail using POP3 with Outlook Express.
It downloads about 350 or so emails but doesn't download the remainder - there are over 2000 emails.
The emails downloaded are not recent.
I've tried disabling and re-enabling POP options in the settings in gmail itself but this doesn't fix the issue.
Any ideas?
Failing that I would use IMAP.
I would try to then copy it locally on my machine to the standard POP Inbox folder in Outlook Express so that Express Archiver (a separate program) can then archive each email as a file with meaningful file names (e.g. subject, sender).
I want to download email because I archive back it up with project work material it relates to, so it is all in one place.

I'm going to be installing VisualStudio 2010. I already have my source code on the SSD. For best performance, especially time to open the solution and compiling time, would it be better to install VS 2010 on the SSD or install it on the HDD.
If both were on the SSD, loading the VS 2010 files would be quicker, but there would be contention between loading the source and the program files.
Thanks!

Why does MS SQL Server Management Studio almost freeze up my computer while it restores? It makes it so when I click on the clock it takes seconds for the calendar to open. I don't see why this should be since I have 4 gigs of ram and a dual core CPU. Thanks
Working on code for projects created in different releases of VisualStudio used to be a big hassle. VisualStudio 2010 improves this and lets you specify the version of the .NET framework and work in its interface while you’re developing in the VS IDE. Click now!

Visual Basic
Create a new project with the Empty Project template (Visual Basic - Windows)
Go to the project properties, and change the Application type by choosing something else or reselecting Windows Forms Application.
When reselecting, VisualStudio will automatically add references to System.Deployment, System.Drawing and System.Windows.Forms
C#
Create a new project with the Empty Project template (Visual C# - Windows)
Go to the project properties, and change the Application type to any of the choices.
Visualstudio will not add references.
Question
Is there a way to change this behaviour for Visual Basic?
If you have not seen the VisualStudio 2010 Architectural Guidance from the VisualStudio ALM Rangers then you are missing out. I have been spelunking the TFS Guidance recently and I discovered the VisualStudio 2010 Architectural Guidance. This is not an in-depth look at the capabilities of the architectural tools that shipped with VisualStudio 2010 Ultimate, but is instead a set of samples that lead you by example through real world scenarios. There is practical guidance and checklists to help guide lead developers and architects through the common challenges in understanding both existing and new applications. The content concentrates on practical guidance for VisualStudio 2010 Ultimate and is focused on modelling tools. There is integration into VisualStudio so all you need to do to access it is select “Architecture | VisualStudio ALM Rangers – Architecture Guidance”. Figure: Accessing the Architecture guidance is easy This brings up an inline version of the documentation and a kind of Explorer that lets you pick the tasks you want to perform and takes you strait to that part of the Guidance. Figure: Access the Guidance from right within VisualStudio 2010 This is a big help when you just want to figure out how to do something and can’t be bothered searching for and through the content in the provided Word documents. The Question and Answer section is full of useful content and there are six Hands-On-Labs to sink your teeth into: Creating extensions with the feature extension Explore an Existing System Scenario Extensibility Layer Diagrams New Solution Scenario Reusable Architecture Scenario Validation an Architecture Scenario I’m sold! Where can i get my hands on this fantastic content? Download the VisualStudio 2010 Architecture Tooling Guidance and if you like it don’t forget to add a review to make the team that put it together in their spare time feel all the mere loved.
I have been writing few post with code refactoring features in VisualStudio 2010. This post also will be part of series and this post will be last of the series. In this post I am going explain two features 1) Encapsulate Field and 2) Extract Interface. Let’s explore both features in details. Encapsulate Field: This is a nice code refactoring feature provides by VisualStudio 2010. With help of this feature we can create properties from the existing private field of the class. Let’s take a simple example of Customer Class. In that I there are two private field called firstName and lastName. Below is the code for the class. public class Customer
{
private string firstName;
private string lastName;
public string Address { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
}
Now lets encapsulate first field firstName with Encapsulate feature. So first select that field and goto refactor menu in VisualStudio 2010 and click on Encapsulate Field. Once you click that a dialog box will appear like following.
Now once you click OK a preview dialog box will open as we have selected preview reference changes. I think its a good options to check that option to preview code that is being changed by IDE itself. Dialog will look like following.
Once you click apply it create a new property called FirstName. Same way I have done for the lastName and now my customer class code look like following.
public class Customer
{
private string firstName;
public string FirstName
{
get { return firstName; }
set { firstName = value; }
}
private string lastName;
public string LastName
{
get { return lastName; }
set { lastName = value; }
}
public string Address { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
}
So you can see that its very easy to create properties with existing fields and you don’t have to change anything there in code it will change all the stuff itself.
Extract Interface:
When you are writing software prototype and You don’t know the future implementation of that then its a good practice to use interface there. I am going to explain here that How we can extract interface from the existing code without writing a single line of code with the help of code refactoring feature of VisualStudio 2010. For that I have create a Simple Repository class called CustomerRepository with three methods like following.
public class CustomerRespository
{
public void Add()
{
// Some code to add customer
}
public void Update()
{
//some code to update customer
}
public void Delete()
{
//some code delete customer
}
}
In above class there are three method Add,Update and Delete where we are going to implement some code for each one. Now I want to create a interface which I can use for my other entities in project. So let’s create a interface from the above class with the help of VisualStudio 2010. So first select class and goto refactor menu and click Extract Interface. It will open up dialog box like following.
Here I have selected all the method for interface and Once I click OK then it will create a new file called ICustomerRespository where it has created a interface. Just like following.
Here is a code for that interface.
using System;
namespace CodeRefractoring
{
interface ICustomerRespository
{
void Add();
void Delete();
void Update();
}
}
Now let's see the code for the our class. It will also changed like following to implement the interface.
public class CustomerRespository : ICustomerRespository
{
public void Add()
{
// Some code to add customer
}
public void Update()
{
//some code to update customer
}
public void Delete()
{
//some code delete customer
}
}
Isn't that great we have created a interface and implemented it without writing a single line of code. Hope you liked it. Stay tuned for more.. Till that Happy Programming.
DevExpress has announced a free express version of CodeRush (for C# and VB.Net).
http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/kim/archive/2008/10/28/coderush-for-free-coderush-xpress-for-visual-studio-announced.aspx
I've read about CodeRush Pro and suspect that it is probably worth the money--but I've always had other things I needed to spend the money on. Is CodeRush Express worth the time and effort to download and learn to use. It's help file didn't install and I'm a little frustrated as to how to use it.
Thanks,

SQL Server Express does not have the Tasks - Import Data option that other editions of SQL Server has. Has anyone come across a free tool to import data?
I understand I can use the bulk import but I have run into a security issue with it and would like a quick and a dirty way of importing a csv file to a sql express table.
I'm writing a website in ASP.NET MVC, using the ASP.NET MVC 1.0 template that was added to VS2008 for me by the ASP.NET MVC installer. The template automatically adds an AccountController, but its account methods tie into a SQL Server Express entity. I don't have Express installed here. How can I reconfigure it to use my SQL Server 2008 database and to store user info in some columns in a User table I've already created?
Hi,
I'm wondering what the difference is if any between SQL Express and SQL Plus. I know SQL Plus is used with Oracle but not sure if SQL Plus is a modification of SQL Express or a totally different installation.
Thanks
I need a way to make my database mdf file secure from any adminstrators in SQL Server Express. Because I am developing application with C# connected to SQL Express database.
