Does anyone know if you can do this by default rather than having to use context menu?
Yes, right click on your visual studio.exe -> property, go to 'Compatibility' tab, check "Run this program as administrator", click ok to save.
Detailed step by step guide here.
Create a shortcut, go to its' Properties, click Compatibility tab, under Privilege Level, check 'Run this program as an Administrator'.
Now, everytime you double click the shortuct, it'll run as an Admin.
VS itself does not provide this option, but you can modify the respective shortcut to always run the program as a certain user.

No doubt there is. There are also ways you can run all your programs as root under Linux. I still wouldn't actually do that since it's a bad idea. The first dodgy plug-in you install will zombify your system.

I sometimes forget to open VS as administrator or some other IDE such as titanium.
is there any way to specify under windows that I want a program to always run as administrator?
Right click and open "Properties".
Click on "Advanced Button" at the bottom of the "Shortcut" tab
Check "Run as administrator"
there are two ways to accomplish this.
appcompat: create a shortcut, open its properties, click "compatibility", check "run as administrator.
manifests: you can add a manifest to exe files to tell windows what privilege level is required. more details on this here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa375365%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
you want especially the "requireAdministrator" flag
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb756929.aspx
if you need more detailed explanations just ask, i have a manifest template on another computer i can post if you want.
If you're running W7 then yes - right click the short cut and look at Properties > Advanced Properties. You should see an option there to "Run as Administrator"
Yes, you can. These works on Windows:
Right click on the icon of the program -> Properties -> Compatibility -> "Run this program as administrator"
Next time you will use it as administrator.
Is there a way in Xcode to have your software open up the console for you? I would like to have it when my code compiles and runs in Debug to have the console open up automatically but in release for it to not open.
Thanks in advance.
A common way to achieve this is :
Open a new tab, and rename it 'Console' (or what name you want)
In this tab, show only the panes you want (in your case the console)
Go to Preferences>Behaviors
Tell Xcode to 'Show tab' and give it the name you set in 1. (you can set this at various moments, when build starts, or when app runs).
Now, each you will either compile or run your app, Xcode will switch to the tab you have set in Prefs.
You dont use code, you go to xcode pref's and do it there
This is where I came for the answer given and marked correct (although it's not clear it was what the asker quite wanted).
Arguably, a simpler version of the answer given is to set the Behaviors preferences to show the Debugger when a run starts. With the settings in the image below, this opens up the console (or the console + variable views or the variables view, depending on how it was last set - that's what 'Current Views' means).
On Eclipse, whenever I double click a tab, it fills the workspace (by hiding all other views like project tree, console, etc).
Is there any way to do this on Visual Studio?
Note: i'm not looking for full screen, just want a way to declutter the workspace but still have access to menus.
Are you after this?
Set shortcuts for the Window.AutoHideAll function and for the Window.ResetWindowLayout function. In order for the ResetWindowLayout to work, you have to export your settings (make sure you select "All Settings") with all windows expanded and then import them again.
ResetWindowLayout will restore all windows to the way they were the last time you imported your settings.
Not with double click on tab, but you can do the same with Shift+Alt+Enter key combination.
This keyboard shorcut was changed to F11 from 1.9.1 vscode version.

I was looking for that, as well, and I now just got used to using full screen (Shift+Alt+Enter), which hides a little too much, which you seem to think, as well, but does in fact still show the menus.
Looks like drby got it on this one. Just FYI. I pinged the VS team to ask about this and here is the response:
"There is no way to reverse the command automatically. For it to work as a toggle we would need to save which toolwindows were auto hidden and which ones were not when the command was run, which we don’t do (it would cause lots of interesting persistence questions, across profiles and VS sessions)."
The idea of a "Unhide All" command is what I suggested. So if you hide all then you can unhide all as well. There might be some windows you don't want to unhide but the 1 or 2 extra windows is better than not having an unhide IMHO.
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.
My "Start debugging" button and element menu are greyed out... but only on one of my projects (an ASP.NET website). I have no idea what I have done to disable it.
I already checked everything in the Property page of both the solution and project. I even compared it to another project, but nothing seems to do the trick... maybe I missed an option ?
It sounds like your startup projects are all set to "start without debugging", since that would cause the button and element to grey out.
This can be fixed from Solution -> Set StartUp Projects.
Is it a startup project? You can only debug projects that can actually be started.
Right click on the project and click properties. Then click on Start Options (or something similar) to see the settings. If it's an executable project, you probably want to choose the option that will start the project output.
If you're able to start the project, you can usually attach the debugger using Ctrl+Alt+P (Or choose Attach to Process from the Debug-menu) and then choose the process from the list that comes up.
Do you have the COM+ Event System service running?
