Since the new update 2 for Visual Studio, the snippet now needs to be identified by the title, this makes the whole point of the custom snippets pointless. i.e. custom lists jobs\list = List in jobs folder is the same as columns\list = List in columns folder. Now when you use the intellisense it will show the snippet that first matches the title of List, this will usually be a code snippet that is totally irrelevant. Why do you constantly make something that works and then break it?

Is there a fix, a workaround. Or will this remain another pointless feature...

Hi,

I'm loving VS 2015 and all, but there's this really frustrating feature where (when I have a block of code selected) and I copy it with 'Ctrl+C', it freezes up for a few seconds and then a dialog pops up saying that it's trying to format the selection on copy....

This is really slow and irritating and I'd like to disable this feature as I don't need it.  How can I disable the format selection on copy feature?

Thanks,

Danrae

I have Windows 10 Home Single Language OS. As we know that Home edition doesn't have Hyper-v feature so that you have to upgrade it to pro and it cause you to buy new product key for pro. I want to install Visual Studio 2015, and do some mobile apps development in it, can I do it without Hyper-V feature in Visual Studio 2015?

Ctrl+M, Ctrl+O
Ctrl+M, Ctrl+H

No keybind is working and I see no menu option or unbound keybind option in the options meny.

All they do now is collapse function definitions.

Why was this changed from 2010/2013 (and mybe even before). The ability to create AND collapse regions is quite important.

I have project made in visual studio 2015 with workflow for workflow manager 1.0, content type inherited from SharePoint 2013 workflow task, custom workflow task list, custom workflow history list and site column.

Site column is added to the content type and content type is added to the workflow task list. It have 3 feature, 1 feature with web scope is for content type, another one is with site scope for site column and last one is with web scope for workflow, workflow history and task list.

I have event receiver for last feature where in I add content type to workflow task list on feature activate.

Now situation is that until some time it project was building very good but today suddenly it is taking time, stuck on building and nothing happens.

Yea I forget to mention you that I am using cloud forge free version with Askh svn and tortoise svn.

Kindly can somebody help me what can be the issue.

Update

Hi all,
I tried to transfer the settings of VS2015 community from one PC to another.
Unfortunately the add-on available in the first PC did not match those available on the second, so something went wrong.

During some try to fix the settings on the second PC, changing language and adding same add-on set, I ended up with a solution with few C++ project in, where there are not visible anymore the project property pages.

If I press Alt-F7 on any project the usual property dialog appears but the the tree on the left only "Code Analysis" section is visible, and nothing else.

I couldn't revert this to a normal situation.

I've already tried the following without result:

- Disable and uninstall all add-on
- Remove all projects and solution temporary files and rebuild
- Copy over the entire subdirectory from the other PC where it works normally
- Check other solutions on the same PC but they work perfectly
- Scanning the registry for the solution name, in case there was some setting there
- Note that the projects compile and run perfectly, only I cannot change any setting
- Note also that the same solution on the first PC works ok
- Searching the internet and groups didn't result in any hint

Are there any other hidden place to look for a solution?

Thanks.
Regards.
Mau.

I have a user who can successfully run a schema compare between SQL database (source) and database project source control (target) in a database project in VS 2012.  When the user tries to migrate the changes, there are two warnings and the migration fails.

The first error states 'the login for the source does not have the VIEW ANY DEFINITION permission.  The comparison will be restricted to database scoped elements if the target is a database'.

The second error states 'target update could not update script for element 'dbo''.

The user is in an active directory group with db_owner and view definition permissions on the source database.  Another developer in the same active directory group with the same permissions is able to successfully migrate the database source to the project destination.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

I didn't setup these scripts so I'm kind of in the dark. From what I gather Tortoise SVN reads the assemblyInfo.Template and generates the AssemblyInfo.cs file with the current build versioning information. According to the subwcrev documentation it's a syntax error. I copy paste the command into visual studio's command line and it works just fine. I don't know where to go from here! Here is the error:

I understand that the Express Editions are free to use and develop windows apps – as Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition, for example.

In this case, if I develop an application in Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition, may I use for free the supplement Prin Form Component 1.0 and distribute it to the user of the application I developed for windows? .. or do I need a license in order to use the Print Form Component?

The Print Form Component would have significant functionality in the future developed program.

Thank you.

Hey, I switched to VS recently and I found that projects managment in VS pretty inconvenient. I work on a few projects at same time and I have to switch between them 5 times per day. They all included in one solution. When I unload one project and load another one, my previously opened files doesn't open and I have to open them manually every time. This buggs me out, cuz my previous IDE had much more convenient projects managment - you just double click on a project in list and it opens with all previously opened files. Is there a way to make VS act same way? I tried to find an extension for this but no luck so far. My version of VS is Community 2015.

I have Fortran code that was made into a dll using Compaq visual fortran some years ago.  I made a change ot the fortran, and now need to recompile into a dll using visual Studio & Intel fortran.

The application worked so long as the following settings were used in Compaq:

In Project/Settings.../Fortran:

a. Category = external procedures: 1) argument passing conventions: default*; 2) external name interpretation: uppercase*; 3) string length argument passing: after string arg*

b. Category = Fortran language: a) name interpretation: upper case*

c. Category = Libraries: a) reentrancy support: none; b) Use run-time library: Debug single-threaded* (and verify 'libs:static' was listed in project options.

My question is: where are these settings and options located in Visual Studio/Intel Fortran?

Thanks.

Hello,

I wanted to mention I am also having the same problem as another thread but I can't post links yet. I am unable to see descriptions of methods or classes when I hover over them or use F12 on them. Per the thread I was looking at I tried resetting all setting in my version of VS and when that didn't work I figured I would just try repairing VS.

My issue came up when I was trying to look more at the description of IsolationLevel options. The ReadCommitted just appears as 4096 when I highlight it for the description and F12 gives me no more summaries or helpful information.

I hope this is enough information to get some help or if this is something silly to fix because while I don't mind going to msdn all the time for a description I'd like to be able to hover for a quick refresh.

Hello ,
I am not totally clear about your policies of license of visual studio Ultimate-

If We have no Microsoft Visual Studio software installed on our local machines and using remote desktop if we work on a client machine which has Visual Studio Ultimate installed (which already have license), do we also supposed to buy the license for Visual Studio Ultimate?
