Limit on amount of solution configurations in VS 2010 - visual-studio

Do you guys know of any limit on the amount of configurations that can be created for a solution in VS 2010? I'm in a project where we need 4 configurations for our solution. I was able to create the first 3, but when I tried to create the 4th one, the config manager dialog box just closes and the configuration is not created. I've tried this on 3 different machines.
Thanks in advance!!

I don't know if there's a limit, but I do know that if there is, it's a lot higher than the three you have! I've seen a solution with about 7 before, and heard of solutions with many more.

IISExpress Starting/Stopping Many Times in VS 2015 Update 3

When I run a console app in the debugger in VS 2015 Update 3, it takes 1-2 minutes to start and I see IIS Express starting/stopping many times (blinks in and out in the system tray). IIS Express is not started when the debugger finally gets into my code.
This happens with other project types as well such as MVC apps.
Has anyone seen this and fixed it?
I just provide some solution, if possible, you could test it in your side:
(1) Just create a new blank solution, and then add all projects to this new blank solution.
(2) Please make sure that whether all web projects have the same issue in your previous solution, if just the specific web project in this solution has this issue, maybe you could remove it and add a new one directly.
(3) Just reset your VS settings:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms247075(v=vs.100).aspx, and then re-debug your project, view the result.
(4) Since you set the property "Always Start When Debugging=False", like my previous suggestion, please make sure that you don't set several projects as the start up project in your side.
Deleting .vs folder (or especially .vs/config/applicationhost.config file) at the solution folder worked for me.
Note that .vs folder is hidden

Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 kills cshtml performance in large solution

I have just moved an Asp.Net MVC project into our main solution, straight away the performance in cshtml files is incredibly slow, you can see each character appear after a 1 second delay. Also switching between .cs files also takes 1 second.
Outside of this solution performance is fine, this solution holds a number of projects which my solution references.
The problem occurs on 2 machines which have Update 2 present, a machine that doesn't have Update 2 present doesn't get the problem
Neither my machine nor the others use any plugins
Obviously I have a workaround, just do my coding outside of the main solution but has anyone else experienced this?
thanks
I have had similar issue with performance of some files and found it to be Plugin related. For my setup the issue was Web Essentials 2013 needed to updated.
If that doesn't work, try disabling all of your plugins, especially and large ones like Resharper (and Resharper plugins!), restart VS and see if the problems are resolved. Then renable plugins until you have found the culprit.
I can make it freeze simply by putting a debugger keyword in a ts file, as soon as it hits it it freezes VS for a good minute, there are other problems all seemingly related to .ts files.
I went up to RC3, no change. Uninstalled and went back to VS2013 without any updates and it now works fine
NB RC3 did -not- help it at all
Just to be clear, I have never installed Web Essentials and this is now VS2013 with "microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=34790"; installed

What's a good way to not work in the wrong branch?

So you have 3 branchs of your source code (Prod, Test and Dev). The day-to-day business makes you often open 2 branchs on the same day.
What have you found, as a trick, to differentiated your different configurations at first glance?
I guess there are some ways to have a visual clue linked to the version you're currently working with...
Note : This question is Visual Studio 2010 centric, but maybe you trick is cross-IDE, so maybe anybody can answer.

How to configure Aptana stuido3 for more projects in one (s)ftp connection?

I have a server with 12 websites. Is there a way in Aptana Studio 3 to have only one sftp connection and more projects on it - with different paths, like it can be done in NetBeans? Making Extra connection for every site is not very efficient solution I think. Making one large project including every site is not a solution for me.
I don't get what you're asking for. You say you don't want separate connections for all 12, but you don't want one connection for all 12?
If they have different paths you'll have to create individual connections for each one. In Aptana you link a project to one or more connections, not the other way around.

Help with understanding multiple projects in one solution visual studio

I'm working on a website at the moment that has three separate "area's" to it. Firstly, there's the main website, then there is a User control panel, and finally an Admin Control Panel.
At the moment, I am working with three separate solutions which is less than ideal, as I can imagine updating this in the future will become rather messy.
What I would like to do ideally, is create a solution, and then include the three separate projects within that solution. I don't have a problem doing that, what I can't seem to figure out however is the publishing side of things.
I've searched around and been unable to find a solid answer to my question, which is:
If I am using multiple projects in one solution, can each one be published to a separate FTP Server Directory? -- I would also welcome any ideas on how this could be done better.
My apologies if this question has been asked before, but during my searching I have been unable to find anything that relates to this situation.
Thanks in advance,
Dave
This is definitely possible, since publishing occurs at a project level rather than at a solution level. What I like to do is go to Tools->Customize->Keyboard... and set a custom key binding for "Build.PublishSelection". Whichever project you have highlighted in your Solution Explorer will be published when you push the key binding. You can save multiple publish configurations in the publish dialog as well.
