• Visual C++ windows.h not found...

  WOW, I can't believe this information isn't easier to find.  I downloaded and installed Visual C++ 2005 Express, and then downloaded and installed the Platform SDK SP2.  NOTHING WORKS!  The Directories are not found and there is no apparent way to set them.  Apparently users have found a hack to make it work, but this is crazy.  It seems like the first Microsoft person to install this would notice that it doesn't work an ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Code Coverage and switch statement don't work well together.

The code is nicely colored in blue showing I tested all of the branches, but still. I have tried to use an integer for ...Show All

• Visual Studio Uninstall VS 2005, SQL 2000 broken

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Why does the ContextSwitchDeadlock happens?

  I got following error in a very basic VSTO Excel Workbook project. My method responds to a hyperlink, sets some integer values in a 10x10 cells array; and then user rng.Find() to find a specific string. However, the last part is when the while loop continues trying to get the next string with rng.FindNext(foundRange).
