How do I set a path for dll's to be searched in VisualStudio for a particular project alone.
Now I am setting it in environment path variable, but I would like better control over this.
There are several hot fixes for VS 2008 sp1, but it's a mess to install them all manually one by one. Is there some kind of VisualStudio Updater, which installs all the necessary hot fixes automatically?
I can't seem to install VisualStudio .NET on my Windows 7 machine (64 bit). Do I need VisualStudio 2008 to install?
I'm also looking for a good ASP.NET editor (which supports Intellisense), any recommendations?
As the title asks, what's the difference between "Stop Debugging" and "Terminate All" in VisualStudio (I know those options are available in 2008, but not sure if it's called the same or something different in 2005 or 2010) ?
Scott Hanselman suggests using Lucida Console, 14 to 18pt, Bold for the VisualStudio font when presenting. But that's a post from 2003, and I think I remember hearing that there was a better font in VS 2010. Is it Consolas? What font/size should I use when giving a presentation?
Visual Studio 2010 moved to using WPF for rendering the editor. This is leading to slowdowns while I am editing code, especially if I'm running something else that uses other video capabilities.
How can I speed this up? A new video card? New drivers? Settings?
What technologies does WPF use to render and what video card would complement it?
I have a couple ANTLR-generated code files, and I'm currently happy with how they are working. I'd like to configure my project in VisualStudio (2008) so the debugger skips over methods defined in those files. How can I do this?
Is there any tool that will convert a multiline text, to a compatible multiline string for VisualStudio 2008/2005?
For example:
line1
line2
line3
line4
Should become:
"line1" & _
"line2" & _
"line3" & _
"line4"
Are there any coders out there that have real experience/exposure to both PHP and ASP.net? I'm a C# developer, wondering if any PHP frameworks compare to the robustness of the VisualStudio Development environment.
I'm trying to remove the Microsoft VisualStudio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime (x64). It says it's uninstalled when I try to remove it from Control Panel->Programs and Features, but the list item is still there, and if I try to remove it again, it brings up the prompt to install it.
How do I get rid of this program completely (or at least remove it from the add/remove list)? I don't have Microsoft Office installed (or Visual Studio).
Does anyone have a good solution for testing mobile websites in VisualStudio 2010?
In VS 2008 I used to be able to start up a mobile emulator. That functionality seems to be gone in 2010.
Currently, I am working on a file that is shared between multiple projects in Visual Source Safe and we have come to a point where we need to update it to be specific to a certain project. Is there a way to safely remove the shared status from the file file?
How do you determine at runtime whether the visualstudio debugger is attached to your process. I've seen instructions for how to do this in .NET, but my process is a native C++ process. Support for detecting Just-in-time debugging would be nice but not a strict requirement.
If I'm letting VisualStudio take care of adding an SQL Server database to an existing project, it adds the connection string to app.config. How can I use use THAT connection string to make my own connections and datasets?
Do you know a way to add some code that, during debug, programmatically clear the Output Window in Visual Studio?
Or do you know some fast alternative like a key shortcut?
Dear ladies and sirs.
I am wondering if it is possible to control the VisualStudio exception handling options from the code itself. For instance, I would like to turn off stopping on FCE for a certain piece of code, that generates many FCE, however, I would like it to be active for all the other code.
Is it possible to do it from code? Something like this:
visualStudio.DoNotStopOnFCE()
try
{
// some code generating many FCE
}
catch {}
visualStudio.StopOnFCE()
Thanks.
I'm using VisualStudio 2008 Professional at work. Recently, I got a new workstation. Someone else installed all the software for me.
For some reason, I do not see the option "Attach to Process" on the debug menu. I looked in the options, but I don't see an option that seems like it should hide it.
How do I make the option "Attach to Process" appear on the debug menu?
How can I copy a table from an SQL Server CE 3.5 database to another (also CE database) in VisualStudio 2008, using the design tools?
Note: When right clicking on a table there is a "copy" command, but I couldn't find any "paste" command so far...
Hi all. I am confused a bit by MSDN (microsoft) site. Do i really need to get subscription of MSDN in order to get VisualStudio 2010?
I dont' need MSDN or I really can't afford MSDN. I just wanna buy VisualStudio 2010. Any help here?
I have one form opening a second form which is meant to look like it's replaced the first form but it opens a bit to the right and down which ruins the effect.
If there a way to make it open wherever the first form may be?
I am using visualstudio, in C++
Each version of VisualStudio comes with a specific version of the MFC framework, but I believe MFC SDK can be downloaded separately. Since MFC is just C++, is there any reason you couldn't use the latest version with an older version of VC++... I don't mean trying to get the ribbon working in MSVC++ 6, But we're on VS2005 and some of the newer MFC features would be useful.
I am interested in the following features: Code highlighting, Intellisense, Refactorings, Code navigation (Go to Definition etc.).
If this functionality is missing from VisualStudio 2010 maybe Microsoft is planning to add these features in the future or there are community project to develop IronRuby tooling add-in?
I would like to know if there is a way to simply turn of the WPF design surface in VisualStudio 2008. I would like to have the xaml editor, but not the design surface as it slows down the IDE, when I try to open a XAML file. For my workflow having only the source files for xaml would be a better fit as I am doing all visuals in Blend.
I want to use Qt lib but I don't know how to install VisualStudio 2008+Qt+Qtintegration. I have read some forums, that step by step tell what to download, where to download from, and then what to do. But that was for old versions of mentiond products.
I ask to Qt developers tell me the way to install these items on Windows. Any forum or site will be fine.
Thanks.
