I've created the skeleton framework for a Visual Studio 2005 add-in
(C#) and I was wondering if there is a way to remove any of the
standard built menus or menu items?  I see lot's of tutorials on how
to add your own menus or custom menu items, but nothing talks about

Almost every time I do a checkin to VSTS and associate the changeset with a
workitem, I get an error dialog:
Error: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an
indication that other memory is corrupt

Usually when working in the IDE, I have several tabs open. As usual in a Windows application, you can switch between the tabs using ctrl+tab and ctrl+shift+tab.
However, unlike all other applications I have used, and unlike every application that I have made, it is not the next ...

Is there any particular reason why VS.NET 2003 does not list assemblies in
the GAC when trying to add a reference?
I understand that there is a special area in the registry where assemblies
need to be listed in order for VS.NET to show them in the Add Reference

In VS2003, my Solution Explorer displayed a tree with only the .cs files
listed.  Then when I clicked the "Show All Files" button, each .cs that is a
form would appear in the tree with a + beside it.  Expanding that branch by
clicking the plus would then reveal the .resx file ...

Does anyone know of a tool that will go through all the classes in our system
and indicate which ones are never used, created or referenced?
Maybe through the IDE, maybe through a plug-in, maybe third-party?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I wish to implement a VS2005 Plug-in that will operate the same way as the
unmanaged memory view, hence, a plug-in with the following properties:
1. GUI Representation that can be handled the same as the memory view, watch
views, etc.

It would be nice to have a proportional space font for the comments (only),
primarily because that would save space (both, on screen and on paper)
and consequentially scrolling time.
Is that an available option?

I'm new to this field. I'm using VS 2003. In VB.NET IDE, I don't find events
list in the properties window. Where can i get it?

Out of the blue about a month ago the VS 2003 and 2005 IDE stopped
recognizing Ctrl-F3 and Ctrl-F4.
I looked in the Keyboard Settings and found the Ctrl-F3 was indeed
still mapped to Edit.FindNextSelected, but what is odd is that if I

Hey Guys,
In VS 2005, I try to create a solution in a nested directory structure.  I
get prompted with the following error message :
"The length of the full path for the solution, project or item you are

I have installed vs2K5 on a new system and the 'Exceptions...' MenuItem
doesn't show. (Debug>Exceptions...)
I can use the shortcut (CTRL+ALT+E) but I would like to have the item also
shown in the menu.

I receive the above message any time I try to add an item to an existing or
new project.  I have searched and found that the WSH may be the problem, but
I have installed it, twice.  I have tried re-registering msxml3.dll.
Nothing seems to work.  I can't add anything, so I am ...
