2.0 Whidbey/VS2005 IDE Related question

Sahil Malik

Okay so this is driving me bannanas.

I have a solution that contains two projects

a) Website
b) WebControlLibra ry.

Anytime I change something in the webcontrollibra ry, I wish to hit F5, and
see the results. However, whidbey tries to be a smart alec and changes my
startup project to be the class library (WebControlLibr ary), because that is
the file I had in focus. So, basically the IDE forces me to take my hands
off the keyboard, go to the mouse, open some heavy form in the website
project and THEN hit F5 (Why oh why!!).

This is hella irritating. Is there a way to turn this stupid *feature* off?

You can report bugs at
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/Produc...ug/search.aspx. I'd
classify this problem as a bug, although it's possible it's by design. The
product feedback centre on MSDN is really useful.

Will Whidbey make MFC/WinForms Interop easier?

by: Dan Smith | last post by:

Right now the only way to use a WinForms control in MFC is to enable COM Interop for the control and use it in MFC as you would any ActiveX control. While this works, COM Interop is a pain, and an ActiveX control isn't as straight-forward as a CWnd-derived object. It also means that I have to split my code into two projects. Going the other way (using MFC in WinForms) is only possible by exposing MFC objects as ActiveX controls, which...

To develop for Whidbey or not

by: Paul | last post by:

I am about to start a new greenfield application. The big question is do I start on VS2005 CTP or not I know the final release isn't until 2005 but a cursory glance makes it seem that ASP.NET in the CTP is quite 'close' and there are some great features there that will save me a whole load of time and which I'd like to use today Does anyone have any REAL experience of developing on the CTP. Have you found major reasons NOT to use it....

Binding sources question in Vs2005

by: Bob | last post by:

I have noticed that as one adds related tables to a bindingsource and dataset(vs2005 Vb.Net Sql Server 2005), the TODO and following code that fills the datasets on form load are written to the formload event in the order in which you drag the tables to the form to make a gridview, the last table you drag is written to the top. Since you normallly start by dragging the parent table and then the child tables and grandchild tables, what...

Typed DataSets in VS2005

by: Peter Bradley | last post by:

Hi all, This post is sort of tangentially related to my earlier posts on configuration files for DLLs. Does anyone know how to create typed DataSets using VS2005's new DataSet designer, but with the ability to configure the connection string via a config file? The designer seems to hard-code the connection string into the dataset itself, which just can't be right.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
