Visual Studio 2010 Filters? - visual-studio-2010

I'm trying to compile the Face Recognition/Detection code that I had found on the internet. However, the filters are preventing certain classes to be seen. Is there an easy way i can fix this? I've never filtered out classes before (i.e. cognition, gui etc) so not sure how to link them or make them visible to eachother. If someone can PLEASE help me out with this i would really appreciate it! It's been driving me crazy...

Microsoft.Xna.Framework for a MSVS app

I am a psychologist, not a programmer, so I cannot figure out if the 3 warnings I am seeing when I run a MSVS application (a motion lie detection) imply I should download something or what...
Can you please see the attachment and help me understand how I should resolve this?

Display CodeLens above attributes

It is quite annoying to see codelens reference between the field and field's attributes. It requires to add a lot of additional spaces around to make everything readable. Is it possible to display CodeLens reference above the attributes?
No, this is currently not possible.
If you'd like to see this, I suggest you give the product team a shout-out on the Visual Studio UserVoice and post back the link as a comment to this answer. I'd suggest not to move the code lens information, but to suggest the location to be made configurable :).
Though I can't disclose any details, I've seen your feedback before and I know it has been considered, but rejected.
This is an old question but as an update to #jessehouwing this is Visual Studio team answer:
Dear supporters for this suggestion
Thank you for your feedback on this idea.
We designed the Code Lens indicator to be as close to the actual
function declaration as possible, to allow you to make a better
cognitive connection with it. At one point during the development of
Code Lens, we actually tried locating it above the attributes as this
suggestion requests. It looked great in simple cases, but
unfortunately it started to feel “disconnected” from the declaration
when more attributes were added. It really looked strange at around
three attributes, but started feeling a bit odd around two.
Here’s a pathological “real world” case which illustrates this -
https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/blob/master/src/VisualStudio/CSharp/Impl/CSharpPackage.cs#L26
Imagine the indicator above the attributes in this case.
For this reason, we’re declining this suggestion at present.
Thanks! Mark Wilson-Thomas Program Manager, Visual Studio Editor Team
So sadly it won't be fixed, but after reading the whole answer, I have to agree.

Trying to create a custom functoid in Biztalk 2010. Trouble getting resources to show (all null)

First time poster here, so if you need more info or when I am too vague, please say so.
We are using Biztalk 2010 here, together with (of course) VS 2010 (Ultimate in my case, not that it matters) on a 64bit server.
I need to create a custom functoid and have done this (enough tuts on the web, albeit usually for older versions of Biztalk).
What I have problems with now are getting the name, tooltip, description and icon to show up when I add my custom dll to the Toolbox. Whatever I try with my resources, I cannot for the life of my have them appear in Toolbox (always null).
Picture link is below, I am not allowed to include more than 2 hyperlinks in my message yet.
I have used this link as (one of my) sources : http://www.eggheadcafe.com/tutorials/aspnet/f843db77-a775-415e-bd08-71c2b1127e40/biztalk-writing-and-usin.aspx
I must be doing something wrong in a stupid way, but I am at the end of my wits here. So, if anyone can please take my hand and help me through this ordeal.. please.. don't let me hold you back.
Thanks in advance !

Solution by the original author (Dennis):
I copied the sample functoid solution from Microsoft into a new project. Used that as a basis to create my own functoids and all is good. Not really the way to go I suppose, but it worked. The reason for my problem (I think) might have been the blank custom tool namespace on the properties of the resources.

Is there anything like Eclipse Perspective in Visual Studio?

I was wondering if there's anything like Eclipse Perspectives in Visual Studio (2008 or 2010).
For those unfamiliar with Eclipse, here's a definition of Perspectives:
A perspective is a visual container
for a set of views and editors
(parts). These parts exist wholly
within the perspective and are not
shared. A perspective is also like a
page within a book. It exists within
a window along with any number of
other perspectives and, like a page
within a book, only one perspective is
visible at any time.
Let me give you a visual example:
Java Perspective:
SVN Repository Perspective:
Maybe there is nothing like that straight out of the box, but with some plugin. If that's the case, it'll also be a valid answer.
Thanks for your time.
I used Brian's blog post as a starting point and made a VS2010 extension: http://perspectives.codeplex.com/
More info here: http://csharpening.net/blog/?p=292
It's probably not as complete as the VSWindowManager but lets you save your configurations and create new ones. Let me know if it works out!
I found this http://vswindowmanager.codeplex.com/ but it's for 2005.. there is a branch for 2008 in the source code but i don't know if it works... I think I'll give it a try and post any results...
It would be great if it works also for 2010!!! When you work in 1024*768 it's really annoying to rezise the windows every two seconds!!!
Good luck!!
You can check out my blog post which provides the ability to list and switch window layouts in Vs2008 and Vs2010: http://www.brianschmitt.com/2010/09/save-and-change-tool-layout-in-visual.html

Class view in Visual studio

I see that I would benefit from using the class view in visual studio.
It would give me better overview over my classes, their methods and make it easier for me to see where and when to refactor my class. I assume that it would give me a better structure and enhance the readability of my code.
But....
I find it to awkward to use. I tried to get use it instead of solution explorer, It basically stranded before beginning. I find no similar functionality like "Track Active item in solution explorer".
Any idea on getting started on using the class view or that I just should forget it and stick to solution explorer and stay ignorant? ;)
Some years ago some people were sure that writing code will no longer exists and everything is going to be UML modeling, so I guess they were wrong.. its great power is initial model(as it name tells). Personally I found it slow clicking with the mouse and prefer writing my classes with coding..
The most important thing is to be productive. My advice is to try it (it helps in design), but if you don't feel comfortable with it, don't worry, a lof of good programmers don't know that it even exists :)
