Executing the console ( cmd ) inside a frame in Visual Studio 2010 ultimate - visual-studio-2010

I'd like to run my console application in a frame inside the Visual Studio environment and not in a separate window with an external prompt like the default behaviour provides. Is that possible?
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 ultimate on a Windows 7 32bit machine.

Try this: In the Visual Studio Options Dialog -> Debugging -> Check the "Redirect All Output Window Text to the Immediate Window".
Maybe this is behavior you'd like.

Does Quick lauch in Visual Studio have the same purpose as Command Palette in Visual Studio Code

I have some experience working in VS code and I recently started using Visual Studio 2017. It appears to me that the Quick Launch in Visual Studio (opened by pressing Ctrl+Q) is quite similar to VS Code's Command Palette
(Ctrl+Shift+P). Are they used for the same purposes or is there some significant difference between them?
It looks like the closet analog for VS Code Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) in VS is Command Window (Views -> Other Windows -> Command Window) or Ctrl+Shift+A.

Visual Studio debugger showing variables with memory address instead of value

I recently moved to a new PC, and my visual studio is now showing all variables in some sort of memory address mode. Normally I would just see the simple properties and values. I can't figure out how to turn this off and get the standard view.
Visual Studio Screenshot
Aw dude, so simple:
Close all instances of Visual Studio
Right-click on the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 shortcut and go to its Properties
Go to the Compatibility tab and uncheck "Run this program in compatible mode for:" and say Apply
Now start Visual Studio and open the project. You should be able to debug it.

multiple Output windows in Visual Studio 2010

Is there a way to have more than one Output window open in Visual Studio at the same time?
It is not possible with the built-in Visual Studio settings.
The only workaround would be to develop VS extension which adds an additional custom Output Window maybe.

Visual Studio extension to show which command has been just executed?

Is there a Visual Studio 2010 / 11 extension that would somehow monitor all commands that the developer is executing, either via mouse or keyboard, and show them in some window?
For IntelliJ IDEA, there is a plugin that can show keyboard shortcuts for actions executed on manus and toolbars. I am looking for something slightly different but for Visual Studio I couldn't find anything even remotely similar.
Any tips?

Permanently setting environment variables for VC command line environment

I am using VC command-line utilities (cl.exe), and I am getting annoyed by the fact that I have to manually run vcvars32.bat whenever I restart my console... Is there a way to automatically run a batch file on console start-up? Thanks!
P.S: I am using Visual Studio 2010 version on Windows 7.
Check in the start menu under Visual Studio 2010/Tools or thereabouts; there should be a shortcut to a console that automatically runs the batch file.

Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft Visual Studio, point to Visual Studio Tools, and then click Visual Studio Command Prompt.
