I learnt the hard way that it is not possible to slipstream Visual Studio 2008 (embed all patches to the installation kir) - It will just fail to install properly, without letting you know that. So the only way is to install each patch one by one.
What is the right sequence for this? It should include SP1, ATL patch, GDI patch, ...
I have a typical reporting application:
Large report <-- HTTP Compression --> ASP.NET Web Server <-- ??? --> SQL Server2008
Since I have so much (repetitive) data to send to the client, I would like both network hops to have compression.
Is there a transport-level compression setting for SQL Server?
I want to make an EditBox disappear completely when the user selects a particular iption, instead of just graying it out. I tried using EnableWindow(false), but that just grays it out. I want the user to not see the control at all...can anyone help, or is this not possible in MSVC 2008 ?
In the upcoming release of Sql Server2008R2 (aka Sql Server 2010) can I write:
a) SSRS Extensions (eg Custom Authentication) against the .Net 4.0 runtime?
b) Sql Server CLR procedures in .Net 4.0?
Thanks,
Dan

Hello,
I am using Visual Studio 2008 to create an MSI installer. I currently have all the files installed in the main directory. Is there a way to select some files to go in a subdirectory?
I can find an option in Visual Studio to do that.
Thanks
Tony
Sql 2008 is telling me to include the Primary Key in an index in the Included Column field. I thought the PK was automagically returned with all indexes?
Sometimes I would like to undock a source file and slide it over to another monitor while editing another file. How do you do this in Visual Studio 2008?
I am using a custom colour scheme in Visual Studio 2008. The annotate bar (that shows who checked each block of code in and when) is rendering in some illegible colours. I can't identify which colours these are within the relevant Options dialog so I cannot change them to something clearer.
Does anybody know how to change these colours?

I have a Visual Studio 2008 project that has a reference to a dll. I removed the reference to version 1 and added a new reference to version 2. The project builds successfully, however when I analyze the project dll after it has been built in Reflector I am seeing that it is holding onto two references to the same dll - version 1 and version 2 are both referenced.
I've found this blog post http://blog.laurent.etiemble.com/index.php?post/2006/12/08/101 but it uses a custom add-in for VS 2005. I would assume there is a way to do this natively in VS 2008?

Hi, I use Visual Studio 2008 and Perforce.
When I bind my project to perforce(File - Source Control - Change Source Control - Bind),
Visual Studio complain like "~.vspscc File is not under source control".
Should I create that file for myself, or is that file created by Visual Studio?
If it is created by Visual Studio, why does it complain about it?
Thanks in advance.
