I have installed Visual Studio 2010 RC. I want to install Visual C# 2008 because XNA Game Studio needs it to be installed. Can I run them side-by-side?
Loading Help or clicking F1 in Visual Studio is horribly slow to load and has been on ever PC I have installed it on. Is there any optimizations that can be employed to ease this pain?
This is not the same question as Visual Studio Optimizations I am just trying to solve the problem with help loading.
I am writing a Visual Studio add-in in C# which will run while I am debugging a process in the same Visual Studio window and I need access to that the process' stack trace from within my add-in. I tried putting this code into my add-in but it returns the add-in's stack trace, not the process I am debugging.
System.Diagnostics.StackTrace stacktrace = new System.Diagnostics.StackTrace(true);
System.Diagnostics.StackFrame stackframe = stacktrace.GetFrame(0);
Any help would be appreciated.
When I open DataSet in Visual Studio 2008 to design or modify it, it always take a very long time (more than five minutes) before I can continue to do my job. While I'm waiting I can't do anything on Visual Studio, moreover CPU and memory usage is growth dramatically.
I want to know, Is it has anyway to reduce this waiting time?
Hardware - Desktop
CPU: Intel Q6600
Memory: 4 GB
HDD: 320 GB 7200 rpm
OS: Windows XP 32 bit with Service Pack 3
I use SUBST to map a common drive for referencing some DLLs. I have been running a batch file in my startup folder to do the mapping, but I'd like to have the drive "gone" when I'm not working in Visual Studio. Is there a way to automatically run command line instructions when opening/closing Visual Studio and/or when opening a project or solution?
Thanks,
John
When writing up a codebehind in Visual Studio for ASP.NET web forms applications, I often use the dropdowns at the top of the window to autogenerate page event handlers (e.g. Page_Load, Page_PreRender). I've noticed that sometimes Visual Studio likes to add numbers to these function names like "Page_Load1" or "Page_PreRender2".
Programatically speaking, this has no effect on the code. But stylistically, I find it a bit ugly. Is there any way to get rid of this behavior?
I'm pretty new to C# and Visual Studio. I'm writing a small program that will read a .csv file and then write the records read to a MS SQL database table.
I can manually parse the .csv file, but I was wondering if it is possible to somehow "describe" the .csv file to Visual Studio so that I can use it as a data source? I should mention that the first two lines in the .csv file contain header information and the following lines are the actual comma-delimited data.
I created a long code snippet with Snippet Editor. After saving I can see and use it within Visual Studio, however, the code is suddenly trunctated after about 120 lines and there appears some garbled text at the end. Is there a size limit to code snippets? If yes, is this a visual studio, or a Snippet Editor "feature"?
Hi Fiburt,
Today I meet a similar problem and it reminds me about this thread. In Visual Studio, if we open the .csproj file, we see that they tell us to uncomment the two targets AfterBuild and BeforeBuild so as to execute them after and before the build of the current project accordingly.
My questions are: Where are these two targets called in Visual Studio? And how is it handled if the targets are not defined (be commented out) ?
Hi,

Thanks,

When editing Silverlight XAML in Visual Studio 2008, the Document Outline panel is not supported by Microsoft.
1) Any helpful tip for navigating a deep XAML markup hierarchy without the benefit of the Document Outline tool?
2) Is this supported in Visual Studio 2010?
I just moved from Visual Studio 2008 to 2010, and noticed one major flaw:
When I try to use AutoComplete in a C++ Source file for managed c++, a small note in the footer appers:
intellisense for c++/cli not available
Uh, has IntelliSense for c++/cli been dropped from Visual Studio 2010? Is there any way to get this back? It is rather useful...
I have Microsoft SQL Server 2008 installed. It appears in the add/remove programs window.
How can I create/delete/alter tables and find the address of my server if I don't have Management Studio installed?
I'd like to create the tables and such directly in Visual Studio 2010 premium.
Hi guys,
as far as i know, visual studio is a GUI code generator among other things, you drag a button and put it on the window, a code is written for you behind the scene.
my Question is:
what's the GUI framework Visual studio is using by default???
i know it integrates with some GUI toolkits as Fox, GTK and QT .
what tokens do you find useful in visual studio?
(visual studio 2010 ? environment ? task list ? tokens)
currently i have only:
HACK - low
REVIEW - high
TODO - normal
WTF - high
(only these - deleted some default ones)
are you using any others?
are you covering any other important thing with comment tokens?
any best practices? thnx
I've finally started playing around with Resharper and am loving it! The only problem is that I use a modified Zenburn color-scheme in Visual Studio 2008 and am finding some of the resharper suggestions and tooltips difficult to read. Do you use a dark backgrounded color-scheme in Visual Studio with Resharper?
I'm relatively new to both C# and Visual Studio, using XNA Game Studio. All I want to do is take some folders from a current project which contain .cs files and utilise those files in a new project, but it's proving to be a little trickier than I am used to with Flash/ActionScript.
At the moment it seems like I need to use this process over and over until all the files I want are part of the current project:
I am looking to manage a SQL Server 2008 DB using Management Studio 2005. The reason for this is because our server is a 64-bit machine and we only have the 64-bit version of the software.
Is this possible?
How about managing a SQL Server 2005 DB using Management Studio 2008?
when opening a solution from a visual studio w/o source control, visual studio just complains about every project in the solution that can't be register with source control, when the number of project is big, it's really annoying.
Is there a way in Visual Studio 2008 Professional edition to create a graphical representation of an application? What I am looking for is a flowchart or other design graph that shows each program in the app and how they relate to other programs and files in the app. I can create one using Visio, but wanted to know if there is something built into Visual Studio that can do this.
Hello,
I am trying to find a good resource on web and load testing. I'm using Visual Studio 2010 ultimate and, while i'm sure it is too early for much material to be released, i'm hoping there are some good resources for Visual Studio 2008 that are still relevant. While MSDN has some good information I'm looking for something more cohesive that i can view on my way to/from work - hence a book or a video
Thanks in advance,
JP

With the recent announcement of .NET 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010, it is becoming ever more difficult to keep track of what .NET Framework versions build on what version of the CLR and belong with which version(s) of Visual Studio.
Is there a definative table that shows these relationships?
Hello,
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Express and I would like Visual Studio (or perhaps an Add-in) to save my whole project to some sort of auto-incrementing archive or whatever would help me recover from disasters. I don't have much need for SVN or complex versioning systems.
I'm just looking for something simple and lean.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Jenny
PS : I looked into the built-in AutoRecover feature but it doesn't seem to save more than a few files.
