&lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;-&lt;/kbd&gt; should do the trick which is the standard keyboard shortcut for `Navigate Backwards`. Or using the navigation buttons in the standard toolbar.

This is explained on MSDN at [https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/zainnab/2010/03/01/navigate-backward-and-navigate-forward/][1]

On this MSDN page, you can see the following explanations

&gt; The editor remembers locations when you move in a single command more
&gt; than several lines away from where you are currently working, or if
&gt; you edit in a particular location that is not adjacent to the last
&gt; place you edited.
&gt; 
&gt; The goal is to remember interesting locations so that you can recall
&gt; where you have been working without remembering so many locations the
&gt; feature is not useful (such as every character typed, or every line
&gt; entering several new lines of code one right after the other).

There was a command which did exactly you asking for: `View.PopBrowseContext`. It always returns you to the very place where you have pressed F12. It doesn&#39;t take in account any movements or edits you did after you have pressed F12.

By default in C# layout it is mapped to `Ctrl+Chift+8`, but you can assign it to any hotkey you want.

BTW, in VS2015 they decided to get rid of this command.

**Update:** The extension I&#39;ve made to emulate this command is available on the marketplace now: [PopContext](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=SETSoftware.PopContext).

I&#39;m writing an app that uses `UITabBar` for parts of the navigation. I&#39;m also using `UIScrollView` for presenting more information than what the screen can typically handle. Because of this, I&#39;m needing to set the scroll view to take into account the height of the `UITabBar` so that all of the information is displayed.

Is there a way to calculate the `height` of the `UITabBar`?

So I know how to name a textbox, or a like object in PowerPoint with VB, but I was wondering if there was a way to name objects through the Ribbon (PowerPoint 2007). For instance, if I add a text box onto a slide, is there a way to assign it a name (sort of like the properties window in access, or the textbox in Excel 2003 at the top left side where you can enter the name)?

Basically so I can reference it in code later; without having to use code to name each and every object i add after the fact. Perhaps an easier way through the Ribbon?

In VS2008, is there a way to return to the cursor’s previous position after pressing F12 to jump to a function definition?  I know this is possible with some add-ons, but if there a way to get the core product to do this?

In my ASP.NET application, I was trying to add few white spaces between two text boxes by typing space bar. The equivalent HTML source was `&amp;#160;` instead of `&amp;nbsp;`. So I just wanted to check: is this the new replacement for white space? If yes, any idea why they changed?

I&#39;m using Visual Studio 2008 and I have just noticed that the debugger is displaying integer values as Hex when I hover over variables and also in the immediate window.  I guess I must have hit a shortcut key accidently or something.

Anyone had this before?  How do I set it back to display in decimal?

How do I change the folder of my existing solution file (sln)?

It&#39;s right now inside one of my project&#39;s folder; if I cut the solution file and paste it in the root folder,it doesn&#39;t load any of my projects.

change solution file to a different folder

When I try to build my solution, I get the following error:

&gt;Visual Studio cannot start debugging because the debug target &#39;c:\target&#39; is missing. Please &gt;build the project and retry, or set the OutputPath and AssemblyName properties appropriately &gt;to point at the correct location for the target assembly.  

My output path is set correctly to **bin\Debug**, but the exe is never created in that folder.  Instead, all I get are the `exe.config`, `vshost.exe`, and `vshost.exe.config` files.

Any idea what&#39;s going on?

__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 &amp; 2010 require a bunch of tweaking?  Aside from my naming convention, am I doing something wrong?

__Background:__

I&#39;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&#39;m using g++/make to compile these same files into a library in Linux.  They work just fine.

I had been using Visual Studio 2005 without issue, but I need to upgrade to Visual Studio 2008 or 2010 (currently drooling over nVidia&#39;s nsight tool).  However, I&#39;m having trouble if I add files to a project with the same name (even if they&#39;re in a different directory).  I&#39;m willing to change my naming convention, but I&#39;m curious if others have encountered this problem and have found any __well__ documented solutions??

I&#39;m further boggled by the fact that if I upgrade from 2005 projects to 2010 projects, it appears that VS 2010 __is__ able to correctly handle two source files with the same name in different directories; however, if I remove one of the duplicate files and then add it back to the project I am greeted by the following warning:

Distributions\Release\Adaptive.obj : warning LNK4042: object specified more than once; extras ignored

Now I have the intermediate directory specified as $(ProjectName)\$(Configuration) -- I need to have my object files in a different location from my source tree.  So I can see why it&#39;s copying the object files on top of each other, but when the projects are converted from 2005 to 2008 or 2010, a bunch of conditional compiles are added:

    &lt;ObjectFileName Condition=&quot;&#39;$(Configuration)|$(Platform)&#39;==&#39;Release|x64&#39;&quot;&gt;$(IntDir)%(Filename)1.obj&lt;/ObjectFileName&gt;
    &lt;XMLDocumentationFileName Condition=&quot;&#39;$(Configuration)|$(Platform)&#39;==&#39;Release|x64&#39;&quot;&gt;$(IntDir)%(Filename)1.xdc&lt;/XMLDocumentationFileName&gt;

These are accessible from the Source file Properties page in C/C++ -&gt; Output Files -&gt; &quot;Object File Name&quot; &amp; &quot;XML Documentation File Name&quot;.  But if I simply add the file directly (or remove and re-add them), VS doesn&#39;t complain until I try to compile, but also never adds the conditional directives -- So in order for things to work correctly, I have to add the conditional directives myself for every single configuration.  Am I making a mistake / poor assumption or have I uncovered a valid bug in VS 2008 / 2010?


Visual Studio 2010 &amp; 2008 can&#39;t handle source files with identical names in different folders?

I just bought a new monitor that&#39;s rather large and I am having a lot of trouble reading the text on my editor. I tried increasing the font size the usual way by going to

Tools &gt;&gt; Options &gt;&gt; Fonts &amp; Colors &gt;&gt; Clicking the &quot;...&quot; button next to font &gt;&gt; and then choosing a large font size

This is the result: (click for full size)

[![][1]][1]

As you can see the cursor becomes a lot larger but the font size remains the same. Does anyone know another way to effectively increase font size in NetBeans?

Is there anybody using Fortran on stackoverflow? What IDE do you use and which one do you think to be the best?

Seems lots of people surround me are quite inconvenient with Intel Visual Fortran. Because there is no support for intellisense, refactoring, etc.

I&#39;m having trouble with a brand new project in a brand new installation of Eclipse. Repro steps:

0. Download this version of Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-developers/heliosr

1. Unzip to **c:\program files\eclipse java**

2. Launch Eclipse; choose a workspace

3. **File** &gt; **New** &gt; **Java Project** 

4. Project name: **Hello World**. JRE: &quot;Use an execution environment JRE: JavaSE-1.7&quot;

5. Hit **Next**, go to the Libraries tab. The only entry is **JRE System Library [JavaSE-1.7] (unbound)**. What does &quot;unbound&quot; mean? How do I fix it?

6. Hit **Finish**.

Expected: Brand new project works fine.

Actual: There are two errors:

    The project cannot be built until build path errors are resolved HelloWord  Unknown Java Problem
    Unbound classpath container: &#39;JRE System Library [JavaSE-1.7]&#39; in project &#39;HelloWord&#39; HelloWord  Build path Build Path Problem


What am I doing wrong here?

**Update:** Perhaps I don&#39;t actually have the Java 7 JDK on my machine. How can I be sure?

**Update 2:** Looks like Java 7 is in fact not out yet. Sweet. 

Eclipse: Frustration with Java 1.7 (unbound library)

I am working with Java. If I hit &lt;KBD&gt;Ctrl&lt;/KBD&gt;+&lt;KBD&gt;Shift&lt;/KBD&gt;+&lt;KBD&gt;F&lt;/KBD&gt; in Eclipse Helios, it will auto format my code. At a certain point, it wraps lines. I would like to increase the maximum line length. How can I do this?

Eclipse: Set maximum line length for auto formatting?

Okay. I&#39;m sick of this problem.  This *has to* have an easy fix, I&#39;m sure of it!! I hope SO can help me to get rid of this once and for all!

&gt; **Question**
&gt; 
&gt; How do we get Eclipse to stop trying
&gt; to process/compile all files under a
&gt; particular project directory?  The
&gt; goal is for no errors/warnings to
&gt; exist in the problems view if they
&gt; relate to something in this folder or it&#39;s subfolders.

**Background**

We run Eclipse 3.6 and the m2eclipse plugin v0.10.2.20100623 manages our autobuild. For reasons beyond my control, we have the entire BlazeDS distribution in our SVN project directory under `src/main/resources/blazeds`.  Essentially, this directory contains a vanilla distribution of tomcat running blazeds to which all our configuration and project files are added when we deploy to our server via SCP.

So, when we run deploy, this version of tomcat is copied to the server and our project is placed inside.  Tomcat and our RIA application work and everything is fine.

The problem is, Eclipse tries to compile everything under `src/main/resources/blazeds` when running AutoBuild and this generates about 300 errors/warnings in our problem view.  So when a real error surfaces, it gets lost among the noise.

  The errors stem from code in `/blazeds/tomcat/webapps/samples/testdrive-datapush` and also the `testdrive-httpservice`, `traderdesktop` example webapps. They have dependent source code that&#39;s not on the classpath and jars that aren&#39;t included in the libraries.

**Failed Attempted Solutions**

I&#39;m trying to push the proper solution: to remove the samples completely and also to get blazeds out of our version control.  That&#39;s not happening anytime soon.

I&#39;ve followed the [SO answer here][1] but it&#39;s only a very temporary solution.  I&#39;ve tried adding exclusions everywhere I can think of and other members of my team have done the same.  I&#39;ve removed `src/main/resources` as a source directory (in preferences &gt; Java Build Path &gt; Source Tab) I&#39;ve added exclusions for `blazeds` under the resource directory.  I&#39;ve tried every permutation of `blazeds` and `**` as in `*blazeds*`, `**/blazeds/**`, etc.

I&#39;ve even tried including the libraries and source files the compiler is complaining about but I couldn&#39;t get it right without excessively mangling our project configuration.

&gt; **Summary**
&gt; 
&gt; This has to be simple. What is the
&gt; conventional way to exclude a folder
&gt; that is producing warnings/errors in
&gt; an eclipse project?
&gt;
&gt; &lt;hr&gt;
&gt; ***Update #1:*** &lt;br&gt;
&gt; gedim&#39;s solution below is decent but it&lt;br&gt;
&gt; 1) doesn&#39;t clear red X&#39;s from the project&lt;br&gt;
&gt; 2) is a change everyone on our team needs to do, manually&lt;br&gt;(i.e., it&#39;s not in a project property file; thereby, it isn&#39;t checked into subversion)&lt;br&gt;
&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&gt; I hope there&#39;s a way to address the core problem by telling Eclipse that this directory doesn&#39;t contain&lt;br&gt;
&gt; items to compile/validate. Such a change would likely show up in one of the project setting files.
&gt;

&lt;hr&gt;
**Update #2:**

The picture below shows the red X&#39;s I&#39;m trying to clear and that&lt;br&gt;
`Build Path &gt; Exclude` &lt;br&gt; isn&#39;t an option...

![Red X&#39;s won&#39;t go away][2]
