Max has [the best solution][1] for when you always want to start both projects, but you can also right click a project and choose menu *Debug* &amp;rarr; *Start New Instance*.

This is an option when you only occasionally need to start the second project or when you need to delay the start of the second project (maybe the server needs to get up and running before the client tries to connect, or something).

I am looking for a way to pass a method by reference. I understand that Java does not pass methods as parameters, however, I would like to get an alternative. 

I&#39;ve been told interfaces are the alternative to passing methods as parameters but I don&#39;t understand how an interface can act as a method by reference. If I understand correctly an interface is simply an abstract set of methods that are not defined. I don&#39;t want to send an interface that needs to be defined every time because several different methods could call the same method with the same parameters.

What I would like to accomplish is something similar to this:

    public void setAllComponents(Component[] myComponentArray, Method myMethod) {
        for (Component leaf : myComponentArray) {
            if (leaf instanceof Container) { //recursive call if Container
                Container node = (Container) leaf;
                setAllComponents(node.getComponents(), myMethod);
            } //end if node
            myMethod(leaf);
        } //end looping through components
    }

invoked such as:

    setAllComponents(this.getComponents(), changeColor());
    setAllComponents(this.getComponents(), changeSize());

Java Pass Method as Parameter

I created a solution in Visual C# 2010 Express that contains two projects: one is the client, the other is the server. I would like to debug both at the same time, but I can only seem to run one of the projects during debugging.

Is there a way to run both at once?

Every now and then when I build my solution here (with 7 projects in it) I get the dreaded &#39;Command copy exited with code 4&#39; error, in Visual Studio 2010 Premium ed.

This is because of the post-build event not being able to go through.

Here&#39;s what solves the problem, temporarily

- Sometimes: A restart of Visual Studio and I&#39;m able to build the solution
- Sometimes:  Both a restart of Visual Studio and my file manager of choice (Q-Dir 4.37) solves it.

Here&#39;s what the post-build event looks like:

    xcopy &quot;$(SolutionDir)Solution Items\References\*.dll&quot; &quot;$(TargetDir)&quot; /Y

When you get the command copy exited with code [insert value] error, it&#39;s normally because of the following:

- read / write permissions
- missing files
- wrong directories

However - obviously at times when I build the solution, there&#39;s no problem.

FYI, I uninstalled ReSharper 5.1.1 two weeks ago and Visual Studio&#39;s been giving me some errors since then (among them not being able to debug). I re-installed Visual Studio and it&#39;s working better since then, but still get this problem. Could it have to do with some ReSharper stuff being somewhere?

Have you had the same problem and solved it? Or do you have any possible solution to it?

I have seen some people creating properties in C# really fast, but how did they do it?

What shortcuts are available in Visual Studio (currently using Visual&amp;nbsp;Studio&amp;nbsp;2010) to create properties?

For example,

I began to use Visual Studio 2010. After I&#39;m done with the C# program, I see that there are `.sln`, and `.suo` files in the project root directory, and a `.csproj` file in the subdirectory. What are those files for? 

I need to identify the files to put into a Git repository. Together with the source code/documents that I create, I guess those three files are the only one that I have to take care of. However, I&#39;m not sure if I&#39;m tracking the correct files.

How about the personal macro files? I have the [Emacs key switch macro][1], does the `.sln` file or `.csproj` file have this macro?

Using Visual Studio 2010, when I build + run my application in short intervals I often get the following error. If I just wait a minute or two and try again it works fine. [Unlocker][1] claims no handle is locking the executable file.&lt;br&gt; How can I discover what&#39;s locking it?&lt;br&gt; If it&#39;s Visual Studio itself, what should I do to make it stop? or alternatively to release the file?

Have been searching all over the internet but struggling to find my answer to this simple question.

I&#39;m using TFS with VS 2010 and all I want to do is view the check in history **NOT** just for a single file. 

That&#39;s helpful when I need to use it, but I  want a bigger history so I can just see EACH check in and what comments I put next to it. 

If I select the solution or the main project, for whatever reason, I only get a subset of the checkins done (I assume because changes did not directly affect those higher levels, but not sure)

View entire check in history TFS

Is there an easy way to reformat an XML file while viewing it Visual Studio 2010. For example, if you open a generated app.config file, it might look like:

    &lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;?&gt;
    &lt;configuration&gt;
    &lt;startup&gt;&lt;supportedRuntime version=&quot;v4.0&quot; sku=&quot;.NETFramework,Version=v4.0&quot;/&gt;&lt;/startup&gt;&lt;/configuration&gt;

This is difficult to read, is there a way to instruct Visual Studio 2010 to format this, so that it looks more like:

    &lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;?&gt;
    &lt;configuration&gt;
      &lt;startup&gt;
        &lt;supportedRuntime version=&quot;v4.0&quot; sku=&quot;.NETFramework,Version=v4.0&quot;/&gt;
      &lt;/startup&gt;
    &lt;/configuration&gt;

Thanks for any help.

I googled and found the below helpful references. Currently I want to run all from the command-line (for easy of execution &amp; quickness) in cases:

 1. A specific test (ie. a test written by a method marked [TestMethod()])
 2. All tests in a class
 3. All impacted tests of the current TFS pending change of mine.
 4. All tests
 5. All tests except the ones marked as category [TestCategory(&quot;some-category&quot;)]

I&#39;m not sure how can I write a correct command for my needs above.

References:

 1. the MSTest.exe http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182487.aspx

 3. obtaining the result http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182488.aspx

[Edit]

After a while, I found the below useful tips.

 1. run Visual Studio unit tests by using MSTest.exe, located at `%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\MSTest.exe` in my case.
 2. using `/testcontainer:Path\To\Your\TestProjectAssembly.dll` to indicate where your tests are coded. You can specify multiple &#39;/testcontainer&#39; options if required.
 3. using `/test:TestFilter` to filter the tests to run. Note that this filter is applied to the full test method name (ie. FullNamespace.Classname.MethodName)

I was previously using a dual-monitor setup with a 24&quot; monitor and my laptop&#39;s built-in monitor.

I&#39;ve since connected a 2nd 24&quot; monitor and am no longer using the laptop screen at all. (It is disabled).

In my regular view (coding, etc) the properties window, solution explorer, toolbox, etc were all visible and I just needed to move/resize them to fit the larger screen size.

Unfortunately this is no the case with the debugging view. I need to debug something and it appears my locals and other windows are off the edge of the screen. I&#39;ve tried Ctrl+D,L but it doesn&#39;t seem to want to bring it up.

I can&#39;t find anywhere in the menu a command to reset windows.

Any idea what I can do?

Visual Studio 2010, 2015 - windows off screen

In my VS2010, when I build my solution, I have over 100 warnings in the file **Microsoft.Common.Targets**. When I try to build, publish or run my programs, I get just the warnings, but the moment I double click it to get more info, the Microsoft.Common.Targets pops up and then I get all on the warnings.

This file Microsoft.Common.Targets is part of the .net framework and has the MSBuild in-built targets, etc. And it has the approperiate schema associated in the properties window.

Some example warnings (2 out of 100) :

    Warning    2    The element &#39;PropertyGroup&#39; in namespace &#39;http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003&#39; has invalid child element &#39;CustomBeforeMicrosoftCommonTargets&#39; in namespace &#39;http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003&#39;. List of possible elements expected: &#39;Property&#39; in namespace &#39;http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003&#39;.    C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets    22    10    Miscellaneous Files
    Warning    3    The element &#39;PropertyGroup&#39; in namespace &#39;http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003&#39; has invalid child element &#39;_OriginalConfiguration&#39; in namespace &#39;http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003&#39;. List of possible elements expected: &#39;Property&#39; in namespace &#39;http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003&#39;.    C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets    60    10    Miscellaneous Files

Why is this file suddenly in my editor, when it is not part of my project, and how to tell visual studio to ignore this framework file while building.

The Visual Studio editor highlights the current line by changing the background color of the current line.  Is there a simple way to disable this highlighting? Otherwise, which parameter in Fonts and Colors dialog controls the background color of the currently selected line in the editor?

When I try to open a project, local or on a [Team Foundation Server][1] (TFS), I get a modal window telling me that:

&gt; The operation could not be completed: Unspecified error

Or the same message, but with &quot;Class not defined..&quot; instead of &quot;Unspecified error&quot;.

These errors started happening earlier today when I tried to check in some of my work to the team foundation server. I have tried using Visual&amp;nbsp;Studio&amp;nbsp;2008 on the same computer, but I still get the same error. I&#39;ve also googled for it but none of the solutions seems to help me.

I have installed the latest updates from Windows Update as well.

Any ideas?

Apparently macros were dropped from Visual&amp;nbsp;Studio&amp;nbsp;2012.

Is there a plugin/extension/tool that will let me record &amp; play keyboard macros (much like the record/play temporary macro in Visual&amp;nbsp;Studio&amp;nbsp;2010)?

For example, I typically would use a macro when converting code from one language to another or to quickly generate properties from a text list, etc.
