TECH TO THE POINT

ERROR: Visual Studio (also nuget error)  The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/suggestions/2156195-fix-260-character-file-name-length-limitation FIX: Not an Error! Thats the feature of the world's best IDE - This is one big flaw in the IDE that Visual Studio conflicts with the Windows Operating system. The Windows OS supports long file path by default.

Issue: Most of the developers   don't use a  Source Control, Configuration Management and Team Collaboration system while developing small scale or even with the team. Source control which helps you to save lots of time from code loss by IDE crash or System crash. It Helps you to revert back to previous version or compare the versions at later point. Checking-in often to a Source Control  helps you avoid lots of  code commented out in the source in between working code. Also there is not an online service available for free . Most are free  only  for 'open  source projects' or you will have to pay. (Google code, codeplex, github, sourceforge, etc) Solution: Looks like Microsoft is taking a great move in the right direction to catch up with the rocket fast  tech World. Check out, a state of the art Source control online service is FREE for upto 5 users! (You can use with eclipse , android - any code you want, how cool is that?) L...

Error: azure project files not opening / Unsupported This version of Visual Studio does not have the following project types installed or does not support them. You can still open these projects in the version of Visual Studio in which they were originally created. Fix: Install Azure SDK (right version for your version of Visual Studio). Two  ways to install: 1. Download link: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/downloads/ 2. Visual Studio - Create NEW PROJECT ( ?!) - C# templates - Select ' Cloud ' - this shows 'Get Widnows Azure SDK' - Click 'OK' . This takes you to download page from embedded  browser!!!! (This is waste of time. Just do the first one.) Either way , you will have to Close all running Visual Stuido-s.
