RE: [aus-dotnet] Visual Studio 2005 differences

It’s likely that one of the machines has Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> Save new projects when created checked and the other has it unchecked.

Interesting that they have different dialogs – normally these types of differences are a result of a different profile template being selected the first time VS is run.  Not saying this is your issue but might be. Pretty certain under the Tools menu there is the ability to Export/Import settings, which allows you reset back to one of the defaults.

 

Hope this helps

Can anyone explain why two different installations of VS2005 have different New Project options, toolbars and menus?

 

On machine A when I create a new C# Windows application and the bottom of the dialog has these text boxes:

 

Name: ____

Location: ______

Solution: _______

Solution Name: ______

 

On machine B only has a ‘Name:’ text box.

 

On machine A the standard toolbar has a combo to select the build configuration and the solution context menu has a Configuration Manager menu. Machine B has none of those.

 

What’s going on here? How can we fix it?

 

Thanks
