Visual Studio 2010 crashes when loading
Just trying to start Visual Studio 2010 to an empty environment, no project, solution, or file, but it crashes. It was working fine a few days ago.
I've tried reinstalling VS SP1 with the Repair option. I've tried the /SafeMode and /ResetSettings switches. I also tried runnign with the /Log switch but I don't see anything about an error in the log file.
My setup: VS 2010 Professional edition, SP1 running on Windows XP.

I was able to fix this by stopping the WPFFontCache process and deleting the ".dat" files from "C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Application Data" and then restarting.

Is there anyone who can better explain the visual studio 2012 and visual studio 2010 Features?
There is a lot of differences. The best place to start is with the "What's New in Visual Studio 2012" page which you can find here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb386063(v=vs.110).aspx
There are a whole lot of differences! Either you need to ask for an aspect specifically or I'll just tell you "they look different, like, alot, but not soo much". But in all seriousness, there is a website to consult about the new features of Visual Studio 2012.
Additionally, the answer is dependent on the version you choose (Express, Professional, Ultimate...).
If you are asking for a feature matrix, I only know of this one comparing Pro, Ultimate and Premium, but regarding VS2013 and this comparing the Express versions of VS2012.

Where is the manual that used to come with Visual Studio 2008?
Did they stop including this in Visual Studio 2010?
VS2008 was the last VS version that included a pre-packaged version of the MSDN library. In VS2010 and up you can use the Help Library Manager to download off-line content for the help viewer. The MSDN article for it is here.

Visual Studio C++/CLI 2010's Intellisense doesn't work; are there alternatives? [duplicate]

What are people replacing the missing C++/CLI Intellisense in VS 2010 with?
I downloaded and installed Visual C++ 2010 Express, today. To my shock and horror, a variable's dot was not followed with anything, an error at the bottom status bar reading:
"Intellisense: Unavailable for C++/CLI"
So... that being the case, is there an alternative to Intellisense that I can find and use? Other stackoverflow questions addressed the possibly broken nature of Intellisense. From what I've read, though:
They suggest Visual Assist. Visual Assist's free trial, as I just downloaded, is not compatible with VC++ 2010 Express.
They talk about manipulating Visual C++ itself somehow, usually through the deleting of a .ncb file. Do any of you know where this file is located? If so, that's one answer I'm hoping for -- maybe it'll fix intellisense!
Thanks! Of course, feel free to chime in with any other ideas!
Yes, VS 2010 doesn't support C++/CLI Intellisense. The VS team promised it would come with an update, but I'm quite sure we won't see it. Too bad, C++/CLI is amazing for creating bridge classes between C++ and C#/VB/any other .NET managed laguage.
Visual Assist X indeed brings it back, but since VS Express editions don't support extensions, you have three options:
1) Live without Intellisense
2) Get VS Professional or better (if you are student, you can get it from MSDNAA for free)
3) Downgrade to Visual C++ 2008 Express
Just use Visual Studio 2008.
It's a simple matter of which feature you find more important. Pick only one:
Multiple monitor support
Intellisense for C++/CLI projects

Does anyone know where I can go to get a list of the new TFS 2010 features.
NOTE: I need TFS 2010 features. Not Visual Studio 2010.
My boss is wondering why not just upgrade to Visual Studio 2010 and not worry about updating TFS from 2008 to 2010. (VS2010 is compatable with TFS 2008.)
Any input would be nice.
Try Channel 9 and MSDN:

The TFS Team Blog also has some interesting content, but you have to sift through it.

Will Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 interfere with my Visual Studio 2008 install? [duplicate]

I would like to play around with the beta and the new entity framework if possible.
Will VS2010 mess around with my Visual Studio 2008 install?
I still need VS08 for work.

I had them working side by side without any problems (until I upgraded by disk - still have a lot of installs to do). However, I can't say that I have done a thorough test.
I haven't done any extensive testing, but on my box at home I was running both at the same time with no apparent problems.
