• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Hosed Refactoring Smart Tags after LINQ May CTP Install

  I installed the May CTP. The refactoring Smart Tags no longer work. For example, when a variable name is changed, the underscore glyph appears indicating that a refactoring is available. Usually, by hovering over the glyph or by pressing a shutcut key, a Smart Tag will appear. This Smart Tag no longer appears. Further, the Refactor shortcut menu is no longer available in the body of the editor. I uninstalled the C# 3 language service using "Uninstall C# IDE Support.vbs", but the refactoring support was not reset. How do I restore my IDE to it's previous state Do I need to re-install VS By the way, I have noticed one other really odd behavio ...Show All

  Ok, simple problem but I'm just too stupid to get my head round this, I have created a project and created a manual updater for it so I can just create components and have them download as necessary, a live updater if you like: The problem is that all is good until you download a .exe from the server, it then will open a quick dos cmd window, kinda not what I expected, I was hoping to just replace the existing file and restart the program.
