&lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;R&lt;/kbd&gt;, &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;W&lt;/kbd&gt; : Toggle showing whitespace

or under the Edit Menu:

- Edit -&gt; Advanced -&gt; View White Space 

[BTW, it also appears you are using Tabs. It&#39;s common practice to have the IDE turn Tabs into spaces (often 4), via Options.]



In Visual Studio 2010 the key sequence &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;E&lt;/kbd&gt;, &lt;kbd&gt;S&lt;/kbd&gt; will also toggle display of whitespace characters.

In Visual Studio 2015 From the top menu

Edit -&gt;  Advanced -&gt; View White Space

or &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt; + &lt;kbd&gt;E&lt;/kbd&gt;, &lt;kbd&gt;S&lt;/kbd&gt;



If the `Toggle Visual Space` icon shall be added to a Visual Studio toolbar of your choice, because it shall be turned on and off via mouse click, then follow this instruction:

1. Customize the desired toolbar

2. Click on `Customize...`

&lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;SHIFT&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;*&lt;/kbd&gt; is the de-facto standard key combination for showing/hiding whitespace characters in all Microsoft products that support this feature.

P.S: &lt;kbd&gt; * &lt;/kbd&gt; refers to &lt;kbd&gt;8&lt;/kbd&gt;- &lt;kbd&gt; * &lt;/kbd&gt; key, not to numeric keypad &lt;kbd&gt;*&lt;/kbd&gt; key.

for VS code and later versions 
Ctrl + P to open and then writing Whitespace, 
you can select the View: Toggle Render Whitespace

In C++, you got the header files (.h), the (.lib) files and the (.dll) files.

In Visual Studio, you provide the location to search for these files in three different places:

 1. Configuration Properties =&gt; C/C++ =&gt; General =&gt; Additional Include directories.
Here you list out the &quot;include&quot; directories that you want searched and made available.

 2. Configuration Properties =&gt; Linker =&gt; General =&gt; Additional Library directories.
Here you list out the &quot;lib&quot; directories that you want to be searched and made available.

 3. Configuration Properties =&gt; Linker =&gt; Input =&gt; Additional dependencies. 
Here you explicitly specify the .lib files that want to include.

The questions are:

Q1: If you have specified the header file in #1 and the lib in #2, why/when would you want to specify anything in #3?

Q2: I see people including a specific debug or release version of a lib in #3. Can you specify either the debug or the release version of a lib in #3 and still build in release or debug mode? Ideally, which version of the library debug/release should be provided here?

When to use the Visual Studio Additional dependencies?

I am new to visual studio and I am experimenting around with some Windows Services. I have created two solutions and I would like to view both of them at once. Without having to click file-&gt;recent projects to switch back and forth.

Ideally this could take place in the solution explorer and just nest the projects, but I am only able to view one solution/project at a time there.

Is there anyway to view multiple solutions/projects in Visual Studio?

View more than one project/solution in Visual Studio

I have the following convention for most of my projects:

    /src
        /Solution.sln
        /SolutionFolder
            /Project1
            /Project2
            /etc..
    /lib
        /Moq
            moq.dll
            license.txt
        /Yui-Compressor
            yui.compressor.dll
    /tools
        /ILMerge
            ilmerge.exe

You&#39;ll notice that I do *not* keep external libraries *inside* the source folder. I&#39;m also very interested in using NuGet but don&#39;t want these external libraries inside the source folder. Does NuGet have a setting to change the directory that all packages are loaded into?

Is it possible to change the location of packages for NuGet?

Stepping through and debugging code in Unit tests

My solution (30+ project) is a bit of a mess when it comes to mixing tabs and spaces, and I want to fix this with one easy step.

Does anybody know a trick/tool to do this in one step for the entire solution?

I&#39;m using Visual Studio 2010 and when I do a &quot;Find in Files&quot; the results are returned to the &quot;Find Results 1&quot; window which is docked below my code editor window.

Before, I would double click on one of the results in the Find Results window and the file I clicked on would open in the code editor panel.

The problem is now when I click on one of the results, it opens in the same panel as the Find Results window which happens to be much smaller than the code editor window which is annoying.

Does anyone know how to make it so that when I double click on the search results they open up in the code editor window again?

Thanks!

In VS2010, I noticed that the &quot;output window&quot; is shown every time we compile the solution, even if we have had close it.

In VS2008, that wasn&#39;t the case. I don&#39;t mind this output window. I prefer looking at the &quot;Error window&quot; only, and only if it is necessary. In VS2008, it was perfect.

I have some python code that splits on comma, but doesn&#39;t strip the whitespace:

    &gt;&gt;&gt; string = &quot;blah, lots  ,  of ,  spaces, here &quot;
    &gt;&gt;&gt; mylist = string.split(&#39;,&#39;)
    &gt;&gt;&gt; print mylist
    [&#39;blah&#39;, &#39; lots  &#39;, &#39;  of &#39;, &#39;  spaces&#39;, &#39; here &#39;]

I would rather end up with whitespace removed like this:

    [&#39;blah&#39;, &#39;lots&#39;, &#39;of&#39;, &#39;spaces&#39;, &#39;here&#39;]

I am aware that I could loop through the list and strip() each item but, as this is Python, I&#39;m guessing there&#39;s a quicker, easier and more elegant way of doing it.

I love to use `git diff -w` to ignore whitespace differences. But, I just noticed that it ignores even whitespace differences in the middle of lines. How could I only ignore whitespace differences that come at the start (^) or end ($) of lines?

I have a simple shell script that removes trailing whitespace from a file. Is there any way to make this script more compact (without creating a temporary file)?

    sed &#39;s/[ \t]*$//&#39; $1 &gt; $1__.tmp
    cat $1__.tmp &gt; $1
    rm $1__.tmp

        }
    }

But that code says it cannot find Symbol for that method. I remember Java having a comparer like this... Any suggestions?

How to check if a char is equal to an empty space?

Is there a simple way to ignore the white space in a target string when searching for matches using a regular expression pattern?  For example, if my search is for &quot;cats&quot;, I would want &quot;c ats&quot; or &quot;ca   ts&quot; to match.  I can&#39;t strip out the whitespace beforehand because I need to find the begin and end index of the match (including any whitespace) in order to highlight that match and any whitespace needs to be there for formatting purposes.
