Direct Question: If I have two files with the same name (but in different directories), it appears that only Visual Studio 2005 can handle this transparently?? VS 2008 & 2010 require a bunch of tweaking? Aside from my naming convention, am I doing something wrong? Background: I'm developing C++ statistical libraries... I have two folders: / Univariate Normal.cpp Normal.h Beta.cpp Beta.h Adaptive.cpp Adaptive.h / Multivariate Normal.cpp Normal.h Beta.cpp Beta.h Adaptive.cpp Adaptive.h I need to support cross compilation -- I'm using g++/make to compile these same files into a library in Linux.

Are there any free tools available to view the contents of the solution user options file (the .suo file that accompanies solution files)? I know it's basically formatted as a file system within the file, but I'd like to be able to view the contents so that I can figure out which aspects of my solution and customizations are causing it grow very large over time. The .SUO file is effectively disposable. If it's getting too large, just delete it. Visual Studio will create a fresh one. If you do want to go poking around in it, it looks like an OLE Compound Document File. You should be able to use

How do I programmatically list all of the projects in a solution? I'll take a script, command-line, or API calls. Here's a PowerShell script that retrieves project details from a .sln file: Get-Content 'Foo.sln' | Select-String 'Project\(' | ForEach-Object { $projectParts = $_ -Split '[,=]' | ForEach-Object { $_.Trim('[ "{}]') }; New-Object PSObject -Property @{ Name = $projectParts[1]; File = $projectParts[2]; Guid = $projectParts[3] } } watbywbarif var Content = File.ReadAllText(SlnPath); Regex projReg = new Regex( "Project\\(\"\\{[\\w-]*\\}\"\\) = \"([\\w _]*.*)\", \"(.*\\.(cs|vcx|vb)proj)\

I have a solution in Visual Studio which contains several projects. I'd like to run a command at the very beginning of every build - no matter which projects are involved and whether or not they are up-to-date. Essentially I need something similar to a solution-wide pre-build event, but unfortunately VS does not appear to support these. Does anyone know an alternative way of achieving what I need? Hans Passant Unusual requirement. But it can be done. Add a new project to your solution, use the Visual C++ > General > Makefile Project template. Set its NMake > Build Command Line setting to the

Using Eclipse. Say I have a project 'ProjectA' in the eclipseworkspace (in a folder ProjectA). I want to copy the project but with a new name (ProjectB) and have all the references in the new project adjusted. I can't find much help for what I thought would be a vary basic operation. I want to try out variations on the original design/code and creating a copy seemed the obvious way to go about it. Any suggestions please. I need it also today and i got the answer from my co-worker. you just copy your project into new one (ctrl+c & ctrl+v). you change package-name in your manifest After that you
