I have the Premium Edition of VS2010, I seem to be missing the "Transact-SQL Editor" editor option on the Data menu.
as per MSDN
Should it be available? If so, how can I restore it?
I think removing the extensions, fixed it, I dont think it was a conflict, just that the removal process cleaned something up.

I'm using Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition V15.8.4 and the latest Ghostdoc version available in the Marketplace (Build 2018.1.18330).
Since the last update, Ghostdoc no longer recognizes any assigned shortcut. Whenever any shortcut other than Ctrl+Shift+D is assigned, on 'document this' Ghostdoc says 'Ghostdoc noticed that you don't have a shortcut associated with Document This. Do you want to re-assign the Ctrl+Shift+D shortcut?'.
It doesn't matter how the shortcut is assigned (Tools => Options => Keyboard or Ghostdoc re-assign shortcut). The error also pops up if I use the menu rather than the shortcut to document something.
The shortcuts tried are not used anywhere else, and I also get the error if I assign one of the shortcuts suggested by Ghostdoc.
If I uninstall Ghostdoc for VS 2017, there still remains Ghostdoc Community which has no option to uninstall. Disabling it makes no difference and trying to document something only using this edition, it always says 'action cannot be performed, VS still loading the project', even after the project is clearly fully loaded.
If I assign a shortcut and cancel the '...re-assign the Ctrl+Shift+D shortcut?' popup, commenting with the new shortcut actually works.
Does anyone know why this might be happening and how it can be fixed. If not, is it possible to manually add the shortcut somewhere, e.g. the settings file?
Serge B. here, I'm with SubMain (the GhostDoc company).
From what you are describing you may have the MSI version of GhostDoc installed. Please uninstall it in Progmas and Features.
This KB article describes different symptom but the solution is the same - https://support.submain.com/kb/a53/troubleshooting-vsix-installation-issues.aspx
My advice is to uninstall both MSI (Programs and Files) and VSIX (VS Extensions and Updates), then install the latest GhostDoc Community we recently released. It includes a fix with the shortcut assignment which may be related to the issue you are experiencing.
Thanks!
It looks like my Visual Studio Tool bar is broken somehow this morning. I am using VS2015 and also have sql server 2016 installed on this machine. I am running on a mac, w/ Parallels on Windows 10. Anyone ever seen this? It looks like it is duplicating items and adding items from sql server management studio.
Thanks for the help,
Chris
I've never seen anything like that before, but you can try resetting the toolbars back to default.
Tools (one of them) > Import and Export Settings.
Import selected environment settings.
Save your current settings if you want, or skip that step.
Choose something from "Default Settings", I like "General".
Uncheck "All Settings".
Check General Settings > Menu and Command Bar customization.
You could also try starting Visual Studio in "Safe Mode", by adding "/SafeMode" to the command line for "devenv.exe". That should tell you if this is caused by an extension or not.
Okay what worked for me was to "Repair" my install of Visual Studio.. I assume reinstall would work too but I didn't want to do that w/o trying quicker methods.
Steps:
1. Go to add/remove programs
2. Find Visual Studio 2015
3. Right click on it and select repair.
4. Restart computer and all good.
I'm trying to find the System.Windows.Forms.StatusBar control in the ToolBox for a Visual Studio 2010 Windows Forms Project in Visual Basic. I cannot seem to see it. Is it somewhere in the "Common Controls" or "Containers" sections? I cannot see it. If someone can tell me what controls are to the top and bottom of it I would appreciate it.
Thanks
It's not there by default, because it's been replaced by the newer (and much nicer) StatusStrip control.
If you really need it, you can add it to any tab by right-clicking, then clicking Choose Items:
I just switched to Visual Studio 2010, and now whenever I select something, Ctrl+C to copy, click somewhere else, and Ctrl+V to paste, I get an error message "Cannot navigate to definition." After that, it I try it again, it works. What fantastic new 'feature' should I be turning off to stop this?
Bah, it's a bug in Microsoft Productivity Power Tools for Visual Studio 2010. the "Ctrl+Click Go To Definition" feature. Apparently, when I click a new location and then press "Ctrl+V" - if I do it quickly enough, it interprets it as a Ctrl+Click and immediately tries to trigger a navigation, even if I clicked on an empty space. The error comes because it doesn't know what I'm trying to navigate to (answer: I'm not).
I have/had similar issues in VS 2012 (Premium).
I've tried the following:
removed all bin and obj folders from project's folder: works most of
the time.
repaired VS 2012 (add/remove bugrams (programs) > repair). Didn't
help much.
Close and opened VS 2012: didn’t help much either.
I've noticed than I couldn't open only files that weren't check-in in
TFS. I check-in them and then VS started working normally.
Dunno if this issue will appear again tough.
Hopefully this would help someone.

you can remove the GoToDefProPack.dll file from the following location:
C:\Users(myUserName)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Extensions\Microsoft\Productivity Power Tools\10.0.20318.14
to disable this feature completely.
Why does Visual Studio 2010 change the default "View In Browser" setting back to the default browser every time I add or remove an Extension from the Extension Gallery? My default browser in Visual Studio (for use with "View in Browser") is not the same as the one I use in Windows.
The two actions seem like they should be completely unrelated.
This seems to be a known bug: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/568469 . And it should be fixed in "the next version of Visual Studio" (whatever that means), as stated in other duplicates of the same bug.
In the 'alternatives' section there are some workarounds. I haven't tried them though.
There is a nice extension that can help to overcome this problem - WoVS Default Browser Switcher - you can look for it in VS gallery. That one always helps me with this issue.
