Location of Visual Studio Templates Directory

July 2nd, 2009 | 1 Comment | Posted in Visual Studio

The location of the Visual Studio Templates Directory (when installed on Vista) is as follows:

C:\Users\<user>\Documents\Visual Studio <version>\Templates

Replace <user> with your username
<version> with the version of VS (in my case its 2008) so my path is:

C:\Users\ABrown\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Templates

Show line numbers in Visual Studio 2008

June 22nd, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Visual Studio

I recently reset my settings in Visual Studio which, irritatingly, made my line numbers disappear.

To re-instate the line numbers, there is a simple process:

Click:
Tools > Options > Text Editor > All Languages > General

On the right, under Display section, check Line numbers (see below)

Click Ok.

Reset IDE settings in Visual Studio 2008

June 22nd, 2009 | 5 Comments | Posted in Visual Studio

I recently acquired a PC at my new job where there was an existing installation of Visual Studio.

This was fine, however it was set up for a VB.net developer.
Whilst I do use VB.net, I didn’t want my VS set up this way.

I wanted to re-instate that lovely screen you see when you fresh install VS (below)

resetVS2008Settings_0

To do this, simply click:

Tools > Import and Export Settings Editor

resetVS2008Settings_1

Click Reset all settings

resetVS2008Settings_2

I didn’t backup my settings as the guy working here before had gone… But this screen gives you the option to.

resetVS2008Settings_3 

And there we are.
All settings can be reset to a theme of your choice.
