Empty Property Window
Posted by Albert Chua at 1/21/2004 8:21:06 PM
Fist of all, I think my problem is similar to Rick Austin (Missing Project Properties). My VS.Net 2003 (using VB.Net) was working fine until yesterday after I upgraded the Visual SourceSafe on my machine. I installed VSS 6.0d (client only) over my existing VSS 6.0b. I'm not sure if it was the o...more >>


Command "csc" is not valid
Posted by Thom Little at 1/21/2004 7:43:42 AM
Under Visual Studio .NET 2003 I have been using .NET Framework to create diverse C# Winforms and controls through the visual interface. I have never used the command-line interface. To compile a module that is not yet included in any assembly I am instructed to ... - Open the Visual Studio...more >>

Project configuration(s) are always out of date
Posted by harry dot news at 1/20/2004 5:34:17 PM
Since we upgraded our project from Visual Studio 6 to 2003, whenever we try to run our C++ solution from the Visual Studio IDE we always get the warning: "These project configuration(s) are out of date... Would you like to rebuild them?". Our solution is made up of two projects, where we run...more >>

My User Controls tab???
Posted by J.Marsch at 1/20/2004 3:16:33 PM
Is there any Rhyme or Reason as to how this tab works? From what I gather, if you create a toolbox tab named "My User Controls", and if you have a control library in your solution, the control should automatically appear on this tab (for easy testing). Now the reality: Sometimes if I create...more >>

Build Complete Sound (changing it)
Posted by Solx at 1/20/2004 7:56:07 AM
Help, I need to make Visual Studio quieter. I have not been able to figure out how to change the build complete (or maybe it is build failed) Sound. I go into: control panel -> Sound Speech, and Audio Devices -> Change the sound scheme, and change every sound listed in any of the 'program event...more >>

Enhancement for help.
Posted by Francis L Spafford at 1/20/2004 7:54:49 AM
Sometimes I have help open with several tabbed pages. If I restart Visual Studio and start help, the tabbed pages are lost. I wish the tabbed pages were restored. Thanks, Frank...more >>

Dumb add-in question
Posted by Anonymous at 1/20/2004 7:51:04 AM
Hello all, I've written an add-in for VS.NET 2003 that works great at home and that I wanted to install on my PC at work. Running the installer seems to work in that the add-in appears in the Add-In Manager, but even after I check the option to enable it, I can't see it in the Tools|Customiz...more >>



Find in Files - enhancement
Posted by Francis L Spafford at 1/20/2004 7:50:48 AM
Sometimes I would like to exclude specific project files from the search. It would be nice to have a checkbox to allow a file to be excluded from the search, similar to the checkbox for excluding a file from the build. Thanks, Frank...more >>

VS.Net output CMD window closes to quickly
Posted by hibernate NO[at]SPAM digiverse.net at 1/19/2004 2:45:17 PM
I am new to VS.net and C++, When I try to compile and run an application for the console, the cmd window will open, run the program, and close within a fraction of a second. I know that the code is fine because it runs with no problems on the college lab computers (and debug finds no problems). ...more >>

Change in the office addin setup project
Posted by Sunny at 1/19/2004 9:54:56 AM
Hi, I have created an Outlook addin using Extensibility wizard in VS.Net 2003. In the wizard I have selected addin to be installed only for the user who installs the addin, and that's how the setup project was created. So far everything is ready, but we have decided to make the addin to be ...more >>

BUG: VStudio7 thinks "_File::" is a URL
Posted by anonymous at 1/19/2004 12:36:15 AM
Hello, Using VS7 (v7.0.9466), I have created a c++ namespace called Garbage_File To my great misfortune, the ide believes eveything on the line occuring directly after _File:: is a url. So if I have typed garbage_file::dosomething() then the cursor changes to a pointing hand when hovered ove...more >>

Delay when recording/playing macros
Posted by Nick Savoiu at 1/18/2004 5:40:27 PM
Anyone know why when I first record or play a macro the IDE idles for a few seconds (i.e. the mouse pointer becomes an hourglass and nothing happens)? I have a fairly fast machine (AMD XP 1800+) so I don't understand why the delay. Thanks, Nick ...more >>

Custom control and toolbox tabs
Posted by Erik Cruz at 1/17/2004 3:27:06 PM
Hi. I wrote two simple custom controls to help me learn asp.net. Each control is his own project, I didn't put them on the same assembly. The first control derives from BaseValidator and the second derives from Textbox. I created a new web application and selected my controls on the Tools - Ad...more >>

Problem - Debugger in VS.NET 03 has stopped working!!!!
Posted by cam_banks NO[at]SPAM hotmail.com at 1/17/2004 2:35:31 PM
I have run into a problem that I can find explanation to nor find a fix for. I can no longer debug an application I have developed through the VS.NET 03 IDE. I hit debug and the IDE locks up. In the task manager I see the executable that I am trying to debug, it has only consumed some small n...more >>

VS 2003, C#, Code Editor, Types and Members
Posted by MJackson at 1/17/2004 11:07:10 AM
I'm new to C#, just learning. I came from VB. In a VB project, within the code editor you can see all your classes in the left hand drop down called "classes". In the right hand drop down you see all the events, methods for the class. In a C# project, all I can get to show up in the left hand ...more >>

Caret problems with bold text in C# text editor
Posted by Ian Tompsett at 1/16/2004 8:26:12 PM
I've changed my text editor options in Visual Studio .Net to use bold font (ie ticked the bold box). I have also changed the font away from Courier New (tried a few choices). Now when I start typing, the caret heads out to the right of where I'm actually up to. If I stop typing, the caret comes back...more >>

Search in 'Entire Solution'
Posted by Nick Savoiu at 1/15/2004 10:10:07 PM
What does it translate into when using Find In Files?! I can't seem to find a pattern. It's definitely not all the files in the solution directories. I think the 'Look In' directories history should be saved with the solution rather than with the VS IDE. Nick ...more >>

Disappearing code in InitializeComponent()
Posted by Dmitry Krantsberg at 1/15/2004 8:32:45 AM
I'm working on the .NET project and from time to time I find code disappearing from inside InitializeComponent() method. I have then to manually insert all the missing code from the backup file (I'm lucky if I have one). This is extremely annoying and causes me to look stupid when demoing ...more >>

Is there a type of project in VS.NET that can contain documents such as Word, Visio and Excel? I would like to keep my documents close to the source code, but not in the same project as the source. For example, I would like to have a C# windows application project and some type of document...more >>

Hi, if I create a new project, save it, close VS.NET, and launch the IDE again, the previously created project doesn't appear on the 'Existing Project' list. I have to save the project and restart VS.NET two or three times to make it appear... Any ideas? PontiMax ...more >>
