Every time I start up Visual Studio, I get nag screens from JustCode and JustTrace. Even after going to Tools | Add-in Manager and deselecting both of them (the only two items in the list), the nag screens still display! I return to Tools | Add-in Manager and see that they are again selected - even the Startup checkbox, and the startup checkbox for JustCode doesn't even allow me to deselect it.
I don't know if this is a Visual Studio problem or a Telerik problem, but it is an irritant - how can I oust the miscreants once and for all?
For JustTrace you do not have a direct option to stop checking for updates. But you can make it appear less by un-checking "Include Internal Builds when checking for updates" check-box in the auto-update dialog and press Postpone. This will make JustTrace prompt only for the major releases and service packs, which are few.
Would you be more concrete and specify which dialogs you find annoying? Probably a screenshot would be helpful.
So far, I think that the Update dialogs are poping up at the start and if I am right you can disable them.
For JustCode you will find an options in JustCode menu > Options > General > Updates. Go there and disable Automatically check for updates setting.

Granted it's not the same component, but the behavior is normally universal regarding addons.
Run VS as an administrator by right clicking the VS icon and selecting "Run as Administrator". This will allow the check boxes to be unchecked and have your preferences saved.

My QTP 11.0 was recognizing IE 8 .one week before.Suddenly it stop recognizing.
It showing everything as Winobject. I unchecked enable protected mode also and all possible solution available in Internet.
Please help me if there is any other solution to it.
Check to make sure you are still loading the Web add-in module during startup of QTP/UFT.
IF UFT isn't asking you to double check during startup, then go into Tools > Options > Startup Options and check the box for "Display Add-in Manager on startup". then click OK, and completely close and restart UFT. It should ask you to verify your Addins again. Doublecheck that it is loading "Web", then uncheck the Show on startup box, and click OK.
One other thing to check is to make sure the test itself is using the Web Add-in. Right click a test in the Solution Explorer, and select Settings. Ensure the Associated add-ins list includes a checkmark next to "Web".
Note that I'm using 11.53, so could be differences
Always remember to open IE or other applications AFTER you open UFT/QTP first...
I am using VS2010 SP1 and TFS Version 10.0.40219.417
Now what happens is that I attempt to type in a non-checked out file, and well, nothing happens. VS does not check out the file. I have to manually check out the file for check in.
It's happening with me only. On my colleague system it's working fine. I have cross checked all the settings he has done in his VS2010. Please suggest what should I do ?
You probably covered this in "I have cross checked all the settings", but I'm going to ask anyway.
From How to: Disable Automatic Checkouts
In Visual Studio, on the Tools menu, click Options.
In the Options dialog box, click Source Control, and then click
Environment.
In the On Edit box, select a different option than Check out
automatically. The other available options are as follows:
Prompt for check out
Prompt for exclusive checkouts
Do nothing
Click OK.
Do you have "Do nothing" checked?
EDIT:
If the above setting is correct the next thing I would double check is if the solution is "Online". I have lost the connection without realizing it several times, it is worth an extra check.
To check:
Right-click on the solution name at the top of the Solution
Explorer and check if you have the "Go Online" option
I want my code to break on exceptions and so usually in VS2010 I go to the dialog Debug->Exceptions... to enable this.
But on a new install of VS2010 Professional that option in the Debug menu is completely missing. Has anyone seen this before?
From here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d14azbfh.aspx#addexceptionscommand
Do this:
To add the Exceptions command to the Debug menu
On the Tools menu, click Customize.
The Customize dialog box appears.
Click the Commands tab and, in the Menu bar list, click Debug.
Click Add Command.
In Categories in the Add Command dialog box, click Debug.
In Commands, click Exceptions and then click OK.
(Optional) You can click Move Down to adjust the position of the Exceptions command on the Debug menu.
Click Close.
Visual studio can be used with various languages and environments. Therefore, the basic IDE have different settings for each purpose (this is somewhat like Eclipse perspectives). Using a certain language profile does not mean VS cannot be used to develop another language, but some of the IDE's functionality might not be available. To solve this issue, the IDE's profile can be modified as described here.
All of a sudden I've lost automatic Intellisense in my projects. And now I'm doubting I ever had it because it's something I just took for granted.
Now, if I type in System. nothing pops up automatically until I hit ctrl-space.
I've tried the suggested "ctrl-alt-space" to toggle intellisense Completion Mode, but that only adds or removes a search box at the top of the Intellisense window, which I still have to bring up with "ctrl-space"
Am I crazy? Isn't the default mode of Intellisense to popup suggestions after you type in object. ?
It is a setting, it could be turned off if you recently played with an add-on that you subsequently uninstalled. For example. Tools + Options, Text Editor, All Languages. Ensure the "Auto list members" checkbox is ticked.
If you are using C#, go to Tools -> Text Editor -> C# -> IntelliSense. Make sure "Show completion list after a character is typed" is checked.
I have a solution with about 20 projects (that use Devexpress controls) in and when I do a normal solution build (ctrl-shift-B) it says everything is completed sucessfully when in actualy fact it has done nothing. To get it to build i have to right click on the solution and use the batch build option.
I've tried deleting the solution and regetting from TFS and i've even gone as far as reinstalling VS!
Anyone got any clues as to what is going wrong?
Sorry should have added that also tried to build from the main menus aswell.
I've had similar issues. It's a long shot, but right-click your solution and go to Properties -> Configuration Properties. Check to make sure all of your projects have the "Build" option checked.
Perhaps Ctrl+Shift+B has been assigned to one of the "check-to-see-if-it-is-needed-before-building" type of functions?
Check in the keyboard setting:
Right-click the toolbar
Select Customize in the popup menu
Click the Keyboard button in the lower right corner of the dialog
In the new dialog, in the "Press shortcut keys", a bit to the right and below the center, hit Ctrl+Shift+B
Verify that it is bound to Build.BuildSolution
at least that is what it is bound to for me. I notice there is an action named Build.RebuildSolution as well, you should experiment.
