&lt;kbd&gt;F8&lt;/kbd&gt; (and &lt;kbd&gt;Shift&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;F8&lt;/kbd&gt; to go backwards).

Or at least that&#39;s what it is in my keyboard profile - you can go to tools\options\environment\keyboard and check out Edit.GoToNextLocation.

**Note** If you configured Visual Studio using VB keyboard settings, no key has been assigned to this function. You need to pick your own and assign them.

Funny because I use &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;SHIFT&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;F12&lt;/kbd&gt; which is **View.NextError**.

I wonder what&#39;s the difference between *View.NextError* and *Edit.GoToNextLocation*.


If you have ReSharper installed, you can use `ReSharper.ReSharper_GotoNextErrorInSolution`, the default mapping for which is &lt;kbd&gt;Shift&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;Alt&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;PgDn&lt;/kbd&gt;. This is the equivalent of clicking on the error icon shown in the bottom right of Visual Studio&#39;s status bar:

I am trying to get a list of files in a directory using Python, but I do not want a list of ALL the files.

What I essentially want is the ability to do something like the following but using Python and not executing ls.

    ls 145592*.jpg

If there is no built-in method for this, I am currently thinking of writing a for loop to iterate through the results of an `os.listdir()` and to append all the matching files to a new list.

However, there are a lot of files in that directory and therefore I am hoping there is a more efficient method (or a built-in method).

I have a question about LINQ query. Normally a query returns a `IEnumerable&lt;T&gt;` type. If the return is empty, not sure if it is null or not. I am not sure if the following `ToList()` will throw an exception or just a empty `List&lt;string&gt;` if nothing found in `IEnumerable` result?

&lt;!-- language:lang-cs --&gt;

       List&lt;string&gt; list = {&quot;a&quot;};
       // is the result null or something else?
       IEnumerable&lt;string&gt; ilist = from x in list where x == &quot;ABC&quot; select x;
       // Or directly to a list, exception thrown?
       List&lt;string&gt; list1 = (from x in list where x == &quot;ABC&quot; select x).ToList();

I know it is a very simple question, but I don&#39;t have VS available for the time being.

What does LINQ return when the results are empty

When a compile fails in VB.NET in Visual Studio 2008, an Error List pops up at the bottom of the screen. To jump to an error, I double click on an error in the error list.

Is there a shortcut to automatically jump to the next error in the list? It gets a little bit tedious at times having to reach down and double click a list that I like to keep collapsed.

How is that done?

I have a windows service executable that I know is written in .NET which I need to install under a different service name to avoid a conflict.  The install doesn&#39;t provide anyway to specify a service name.  If I only have access to the binary, is there anyway to override the service name when I install it with installutil?

Any way to override .NET Windows Service Name without recompiling?

I have some object that is instantiated in code behind, for instance, the XAML is called window.xaml and within the window.xaml.cs

    protected Dictionary&lt;string, myClass&gt; myDictionary;

How can I bind this object to, for example, a list view, using only XAML markups?

**Update:**

(This is exactly I have in my test code):

    &lt;Window x:Class=&quot;QuizBee.Host.Window1&quot;
        xmlns=&quot;http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation&quot;
        xmlns:x=&quot;http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml&quot;
        Title=&quot;{Binding windowname}&quot; Height=&quot;300&quot; Width=&quot;300&quot;
        DataContext=&quot;{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}&quot;&gt;
        &lt;Grid&gt;
        &lt;/Grid&gt;
    &lt;/Window&gt;

And in codebehind

    public partial class Window1 : Window
    {
        public const string windowname = &quot;ABCDEFG&quot;;

        public Window1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    }

Suppose the title should become &quot;ABCDEFG&quot; right? but it ends up showing nothing.

I would like to ask what you think is the best way (lasts less / consumes less resources) to clear the contents in order to reuse a StringBuilder. Imagine the following scenario:

    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    foreach(var whatever in whateverlist)
    {
      sb.Append(&quot;{0}&quot;, whatever);
    }

    //Perform some stuff with sb

    //Clear stringbuilder here

    //Populate stringbuilder again to perform more actions
    foreach(var whatever2 in whateverlist2)
    {
      sb.Append(&quot;{0}&quot;, whatever2);
    }


And when clearing StringBuilder I can think of two possibilities:

    sb = new StringBuilder();

or

    sb.Length = 0;


What is the best way to clear it and why? 

Thank you.

EDIT: I ment with current .NET 3.5 version.

How do I determine a mapped drive&#39;s actual path?

So if I have a mapped drive on a machine called &quot;Z&quot; how can I using .NET determine the machine and path for the mapped folder?

The code can assume it&#39;s running on the machine with the mapped drive.


I looked at Path, Directory, FileInfo objects, but can&#39;t seem to find anything.

I also looked for existing questions, but could not find what I&#39;m looking for.

I have a message box with the `YesNoCancel` buttons...

 * Pressing `Yes` will do some action and close the application - works fine
 * Pressing `No` will do nothing and close the application - (see below)
 * Pressing `Cancel` will do nothing and keep the application open - (see below).

I&#39;m using `DialogResult.No` for the &lt;kbd&gt;No&lt;/kbd&gt; button and `DialogResult.Cancel` for the &lt;kbd&gt;Cancel&lt;/kbd&gt; button. But pressing either of them triggers `DialogResult.Cancel` event. What&#39;s the problem?

Can any one tell me how to turn off automatic outlining in Visual Studio?  Outlining is the feature that collapses code into programmer defined regions.  

In my opinion, there are precious few circumstances where outlining is useful.  Yes, it makes large files easier to navigate, but mostly it obscures complexity.  My preference would be to have this feature turned off by default when opening a source file.

I want to edit a binary file, but I don&#39;t want to use another tool other than Visual Studio because it&#39;s a pain to switch back and forth.  

Is there perhaps an add-in or some built in functionality that can do that in Visual Studio?

In the Visual Studio **editor** when you pull the **scroll bar** down to the bottom of the file, all you see is a **blank page**, since the text has scrolled up past the **top** of the text editor window. This makes scrolling to the bottom **difficult** because you can&#39;t just pull the scroll bar quickly all the way down but have to *carefully* position the cursor so you can still see your code.

**How can I make it so that, as in NotePad, when I pull the scroll bar down to the bottom of the file, I see the bottom of the file?**

Often when I want to search through my code in Visual Studio, I know the thing I&#39;m looking for is in some C# code. However, as I&#39;ve used the same variable name in a JavaScript file, I have to wade through all those search results too. This gets even worse when the text I&#39;m looking for is also used in a third-party JavaScript library that we&#39;ve brought into the project: this can result in hundreds of search results.

To compound things, our designers include HTML mock-ups of the pages in the same project, so I often find I&#39;m hitting loads of search results in there too.

I guess what I really want is to see results in my .cs, .aspx, and .ascx files, but not .js or .htm.

Is there any way to do any of the following:

- Search only in files of a particular type (search only .cs files).
- Search only in files of any of a given set of types (search only .cs, .aspx and .ascx files).
- Search in all file types except a particular type or types (search everything except .js).

I suspect not, in which case is there any crafty way of working around this?

I wonder not only what is Facet but also what is Facet &#39;in physical level&#39; (as I understand it&#39;s not a separate jar, but what?)?

I also wonder how can it affect my application after deploying. I&#39;ll explain on real example:

I had 2 facets (which were created by IDE): Spring Facet and Web Facet (for jsf). I deployed it to Tomcat and my application worked fine.

Then I added (by means of IDE) one more facet - JPA Facet. I redeployed application and.. it still worked fine :) 

So, I&#39;m just curious what is that and why do we need it?

What is &#39;Facet&#39; in JavaEE?
