Attach to debugger script and shortcut
I got sick of manually attaching to the webserver (either aspnet_wp.exe on WinXP or w3wp.exe on Win2003 or later). You can have a macro for that, incl. a shortcut key. I got this from somewhere on the web, but forgot where. If I find out, I’ll of course...

A little snippet that I use from time to time when I need information on how long something takes. Type ‘sw’ (without the quotes) and tab-tab . Installation is easy, just create a file called “sw.snippet” in your %Documents%\Visual Studio 2008\Code Snippets...

VS2008 DataDude and conditional deployment
This has taken us some time; depending on which environment you are, telling Visual Studio 2008 for Database Professionals Edition (or simply DataDude) what user it should use to deploy the SQL scripts, during an automated build. We're working with...

Yesterday I wrote an article on the property snippet in Visual Studio 2008 and that it had changed from Visual Studio 2005. Only a few hours later, I questioned myself if even a few people might be interested in this. Not because of the snippet, but because...

Turn off automatic updates with ClickOnce
I got an e-mail with the question how to turn off automatic checking for updates, when you're doing a manual check for updates with ClickOnce . Strangely enough I forgot to mention this in my previous article. The above dialog window can be obtained...

Manual check for updates with ClickOnce
I really love [wikipedia:ClickOnce], because it removes the necessity to build a web application. In my years as a developer, I can't count the projects that were web based, simply because of the deployment model. And then ClickOnce came around. Now...

MSBuild tasks for Team Foundation Server
I've experienced editing Team Foundation Server builds by hand and I didn't like it. Maybe I'm missing something here, but it's very complex and troublesome. I want some more 'advanced' stuff in my build process, like preparing...

System.Transactions still not working

TFS Get latest version on checkout
As most Team Foundation Server (TFS) users will know by now, upon checkout of a file from source control, the latest version isn't retrieved. For a lot of users very odd, while this was the cast in Visual Source Safe. This is actually by design. And...
