This should be simple, but Visual Studio stubbornly refuses to cooperate: I have a C# project (Visual Studio 2005) with bitmaps as embedded resources, BUT I CAN'T GET AT THEM!
I've been struggling with the GUI and MSDN "help", and can't get to the embedded bitmaps to edit them. How is this done?
Solved it: Visual Studio has MULTIPLE .resx files! I stumbled upon the one that had the bitmaps I needed to edit. (Used to the old days, when all the resources were in one .RC file.)

Is there any working add-in, fixing the broken (only showing entries for the current file) task window for Visual Studio C++ projects?
These could be one-trick solutions or functionality contained in some larger add-in. I wasn't able to find such a thing.
It appears that there is a working Visual Studio extension on visualstudiogallery that does that:
FeinTasks
My question is rather simple. I have a project using a few external libraries documented with doxygen.
Is it possible, with Visual Studio (or with the help of an extension) to view to doc associated with a class or a method by clicking on it or via a keyboard shortcut, all without leaving Visual Studio?
I've stumbled across Doxygen Browser Add-in for Visual Studio, which looks quite good. Compatible with most currently used Visual Studio versions.
Other than that, there's a more DIY solution avaialble by (apparently quickly) writing up a Visual Studio extension, as described here.
I'm using Visual C++ Express 2010. Weird thing, when I start *.sln file with "Microsoft Visual Studio Version Selector" (dblclick in explorer for example), I get 2 lines for each installed product.
Meaning duplicated (2010 and 10 are the same)
Visual C++ 2010
Visual C++ 10
How to remove one of them?

The values are probably in the registry. You should be able to figure out where the settings on with the help of Sysinternal's Process Monitor.
The Visual Studio Launcher is called VSLauncher.exe. If you filter for registry operations that are performed by that executable, it shouldn't be too hard to find.

I have made a github repo with the filter and the procmon events for your reference. Hope this helps.
I got a fairly large (C++) project in Visual studio 2010. Somehow I managed to click "Show all files" in the solution explorer and now a bug in visual studio 2010 is preventing me from uncheck the option.

Do anyone here know where the this setting is stored? I've searched the solution file, project files, filter files without finding anything.
For C#, similar user-specific data is stored in SolutionName.suo (hidden) and ProjectName.csproj.user files. See if you have what might be the equivalent files for C++. You can freely delete these files to reset user-specific settings, which should restore solution explorer to its default view.
In addition to those programming in C++, for VS 2010 C++ these files are:
ProjectName.suo
ProjectName.vcxproj.user
Does Visual Studio or MSDN provides a default set of icons for desktop applications, i.e. icons for common actions, GUI elements, data types, etc?
For instance, I have a button that the user clicks on to select a file, it would be nice if I could use Windows' standard folder icon.
For Visual Studio 2012 and 2013:
The icons are not in the program folder any more.
You can download the Visual Studio Image Library which contains most of the icons at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35825
It contains many icons from Visual Studio, Office,...
You should be able to find the icons in a zip file named "VS2008ImageLibrary.zip" located here:
%Program Files%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\VS2008ImageLibrary\1033
check out http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/ very nice and exhaustive icon sets. as far as I can tell they are free.
There is an image library packaged with Visual Studio. Do a search for icon files in the Visual Studio install directory to reveal its location. It may or may not be there, or will be in different locations, depending on the version of VS you have installed.
If memory serves the Express editions come without this feature, but all other versions since at least Visual Studio .NET do.
