I found this article on how to setup and use RDP client for MFC. But where do you get the dialog they show in step 2? Here's the link to RDP Remote Desktop ActiveX Controls
Well, I found one way to do it, open the toolbox window, right-click, "choose items" and it brings up that dialog to choose the various components. I never knew any of that existed.

Trying to follow multiple tutorials on adding RDP client support to an MFC project and I can add the ActiveX control just fine, but when I close the dialog in the resource editor then try to open it back up, I always get:
Microsoft Visual Studio
The ActiveX control "Microsoft RDP Client Control - version 11" could not be instantiated.
I then have to manually edit the .rc file and remove the control it added from the dialog. How do I stop it from doing this?
Two different tutorials can be found here and here
I have installed microsoft visual studio 2013 .unfortunately i closed server explorer and toolbox windows in the left side of panel.how can I return them?please help me.
If you want to see a window or a tool pane, you can usually find it on the View menu. If you don't see it there, be sure to check the cascading Other Windows option. Some windows related to debugging are on the Debug menu under Windows.
The cool thing is that you don't actually need to learn this. Just go to the Quick Launch (at the top right) and start typing what you're looking for:
You can click the option you want from the dropdown menu and it will be executed for you. Optionally, you can learn the menu command or the keyboard shortcut for next time, but if you don't do it very often, you can use always use Quick Launch.
I'm working on VS2010 and Windows 8.
whenever I run the application windows starts flickering which is quite weird.
I tried following things but didn't get any help out of it.
Open Tools/Options dialog
In the options tree select the Environment/General page.
Uncheck "Automatically adjust visual experience based on client performance" then uncheck "Enable rich client visual experience" checkboxes.
Close the Tools/Options dialog
and I also tried making some changes in regedit.
Any other suggestions?
Set DoubleBuffered to True and see if it helps.
Also, try different settings in the BackgroundImageLayout, if you have an image for the background.
I opened a solution in offline mode. But now I am trying to go online and connect to tfs but I cannot seem to see the "Go Online" Button under File-> Source Control.
I connected to TFS using Team-> Connect to Team Foundation Server option but I still don't see "Go Online" button in File-> Source Control.
Is there any other way to go online in TFS?
Version used : Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, connecting Team Foundation Server 2010.
I found out that the "File > Source Control > Go Online" menu item doesn't appear when the "Source Control Explorer" window is active.
So you will have to open a different window and\or file.
In my case, when I opened a .cs file within a project of the open solution, the "Go Online" menu item was available once again.
Try File > Source Control > Change Source Control, and then bind your solutions/projects.
You may have to delete the bindings of existing projects that failed to bind correctly.
Then close the binding dialog.
Now you can add each of the disconnected projects from your solution explorer.
This ranges somewhere between buggy and pathetic, but if you click around on sufficiently many seemingly unrelated menus, context menus, and dialogs, you may guess how to repair the TFS connection like this
This is not ideal, but another option is to close Visual Studio and open it again.
In my case whenever I get disconnected (we use TFS online) then after a drop in connectivity my VS thinks it is still offline, I cant convince it otherwise so when I restart VS it then forces it to check connectivity and then my solution is automatically back "online".
I faced the same problem when i worked on my solution when i was disconnected from tfs.
I unloaded and loaded the project i worked offline and suddenly go online option showed.
I think doing that checks out the project so that unknown bindings are removed.
I hear that Visual Studio 2010 has "Multi-Monitor Support". Yet now that I am using it, I see no difference from VS2008.
I still have to resize all my windows when switching from one monitor to two and back again.
Is there somekind of Profile or setting I am missing? For example, Delphi lets you save desktop profiles that record where you like specific windows. Switching from single to dual monitors is as simple as selecting a different desktop profile.
Is there something similar in VS2010 that I am missing?
Multi-monitor support refers to the ability for you to undock a code window and drag it to another monitor. Try dragging on the tab of a code window into your other monitor.
ScottGu has an excellent blog post on this subject

Just drag the editor tabs out and onto your other monitor and witness the glory.
In VS2008 you could detach things like the solution explorer and put them onto a different monitor, but source code pages were forced to stay on one monitor.
