Can you share the way you setup your unit test projects within your .net solutions? I can imagine several possible methodologies. For example: Having a separate solution for unit tests, perfectly mirroring the structure of the original code solution being tested. Inside the original code solution, have a solution folder in which you're perfectly mirroring... Have a unit test project for each code project and residing alongside it inside the solution's tree structure. Have a unit test project covering several code projects residing alongside them in the tree structure. Would love to hear how

I created a custom common target "RealClean" which remove every files in the output and "intermediate output" directory. I put it in the Microsoft.Common.targets file. When I run MsBuild on my csproj everything is fine. But when I run MsBuild on my sln (which just references a list of csproj) I have the following error error MSB4057: The target "RealClean" does not exist in the project. Here is the command line I enter to run MsBuild C:\Windows\Microsoft .NET\Framework\v3.5\MsBuild.exe /p:Configuration="Release";OutputPath="..\..\MSBuild.Referentiel.net35";nowarn="1591,1573" /t:RealClean

is there an Add-In which allows me to tag or mark files in Visual Studio and then these files are visual highlighted (eg. different background color) ? I searched the Visual Studio Gallery but didn't find anything. Thanks! I found the extension Visual Studio Tags on codeplex that can do what we need, but there's not (yet) visual support (ie, diferent colors in solution explorer). To highlight only the active (open and viewed) item in the solution explorer (without any add-ins): Go to Tools -> Options -> Projects And Solutions Then Check the Track Active Item in Solution Explorer option. But if

Microsoft Visual Studio uses XML to save its .vcproj project files. So diffing XML project files should be easily. Unfortunately, if you change any of the project file's properties, Visual Studio insists on randomly shuffling the XML nodes of the project file! This makes textual diffing and merging of project file changes basically impossible. Changing one compiler setting can make my visual diff tool think I've changed 50% of the lines in the file! I've even tried some XML diff tools, but they just show a more structured view of the same mess. Does anyone have any suggestions for maintaining

Imported an eclipse project into Android Studio and saved it in a new folder. Changed the package name and everything to new names but the Project's name is still the one from the old project. How do I change the pointed name into something else? Try changing the contents of this file: C:\Path\To\Project\.idea\.name Change the name in manifest file. android:label="@string/app_name" There's a build.gradle file inside your app folder. Change the package name from there. Make sure you edit the build.gradle file inside your app folder, not the one in the root of your project. When you want to

Is it possible to make a solution in VS depend on (i.e. include) an entire other solution? I've seen some stuff about "Solution Folders", but these don't seem to be the same thing....? Thanks! (BTW, I'm using VS 2008) This post is old, but these days you can easily reuse dependencies in other solutions by building nuget packages for all of them. VS 2015 has nuget package building built in but is currently a Release Candidate. In Visual Studio 2013 you can use the Nuget.Packaging nuget package to allow your project to build as a Nuget Package. Then you can just publish new versions of your
