Does anyone have a recommendation of a link(s) that provides a variety of color schemes either to be set manually or through a file for VS.NET 2008? For example instead of the default, white background with blue and black letters (VB.NET), etc. I want to see some contrasting black background color schemes or other combinations?
View 3 RepliesI know for those who dont use it may think this is minor, but it appears that VS2010 has done away with the "Brief" style editor. Brief style editing makes me way more productive since I am one that tends to spend most of my time in the code. Does anyone know how to turn on Brief style editing in VS 2010 or are there any plans to add it in?
View 4 Repliescan Visual Studio 2008 be All-In-One tool to integrate source code continuously from team members, build, unit test?
Having used Visual Studio Team Edition 2005, unit testing each method within VS itself. I strongly believe that it is feasible to add-on tools. Example ankhsvn tool to use SVN from Visual studio [URL]
In my investigating i have come across number of tools(shown below) to use with Visual Studio 2008 professional
Development tool:- Visual Studio 2008 professional using Subversion as source control tool. Continuous Integration:- Hudson or Cruise control Build tool:- NAnt Testing:- NUnit, Selinium As Visual Studio 2008 can be used for unit testing I think NUnit is out of consideration.
In the same way i would like to have any other tools/add-ons to Visual studio to implement continuous integration, building and unit testing. This process should be automated such a way source code between team members is continuously integrated, built and unit testing is done as configured.
Objective is to use few number of tools as add-on to Visual Studio or achieve most from Visual studio itself (example unit testing). Visual Studio should be all in one tool.
I am aware that Team Foundation Server best suits my requirement, but it is out of scope due to its cost.
When I try to select the Designer view in VS 2010, I get the following error message:

I shut down and reopened VS but still the error appears.
I can't find my xaml editor in my VS 2008 SP1(Edit: with Silverlight toolkit version 3 something installed)

I'm faced with an usual problem. Currently, I'm working on a site as a hobby and I want to use a text editor. The problem is I do all my work from school. Unfortunately the school uses a drive shield on all their computers. So every time you turn off the computer it wipes the hard drive clean and uses an image of the original operating system once booted up. With this said - could I still download a text editor and have it working for visual studio without too much trouble?
View 1 RepliesI've got an interesting one here - I honestly don't think I've had this issue before. My folder system looks something like this (as noobish as it may be):
-Root ../Pages ../Pages/Admin ../Pages/OtherFolder ../Pages/AnotherFolder etc.
Now - I've got a Masterpage file in the Pages folder which is the general look of the entire site. Then, in each Pages Folder there's going to be another Masterpage inheriting the Page Folder Masterpage File.This seemed like a very simple and standard approach. But I'm having an issue. When editing the application in VWD2008E - I can see the Page Masterpage file just fine in Design View. But when trying to look at the the Masterpage Files, say the Admin Folder or the OtherFolder, in Design View - nothing shows except the Page Masterpage. It's really frustrating. Oddly, when running the application, no errors pop up and the sub-folder masterpages/pages show up just fine. They simply won't display in the editor.
Is there a way to change the color of the IDE with VS 2008? All of the backgrounds of the toolbar and the tabs are a bluish grey. It would be cool to change it to a higher contrast color scheme, like black/grey.

My development groups uses shelf sets for doing code reviews. When a shelf set has a new-to-source-control file, I need to view it. I had configured Notepad as my viewer application for several file suffixes but now I would like to change that to another application. Problem is that I cannot find anywhere how to change that association--it is *not* the Windows-wide app/file-type asociation kept in the Windows registry.
how to reset the default application assignments used in shelf set reviews?

View 1 RepliesIn the "Regular Expression Editor" dialog in VS 2008 ( or 2005 for this matter ) ,
there is a list of "standard expressions" like :
"French phone number" , "French postal code" etc..
And of course there is an option to select a "Custom" and then enter your own regular expression.
Well.. I want to add a predefined expressions to that list . Like : "Israeli phone number" .
I don't want to enter it every time by selecting a custom value .
I want my developers in the team available items for them to choose.
Anyone knows how to alter that list ?
I've found some question about it on the web - and the answer given is that it's not possible .
I know I've seen this in one of the video tutorials but I have no idea which one and I have reinstalled VS since then. I think it was Chris Pels that showed how to set up VS so that you had IntelliSense for XML files. The reason I ask is because I'm going through the Security tutorials series and working on the web.config file and the editor doesn't highlight the closing or opening tag when you click on one or the other like it does for HTML or C#.
Not sure if I'm explaining this clearly or not. When working with HTML or C# I can click on the opening tag for an element, say a div tag and VS will bold the type of the closing div tag. This makes it easy to be sure that I'm not messing up my tags. Well this doesn't happen with an XML document. I saw in one of the videos where the author configured the settings in VS so that IntelliSense would work in an XML document. I just don't remember the path to those settings or what changes were made.
