Here's another error I got today while using Visual Studio 2008

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
Error connecting to undo manager of source file 'C:\dev\Work\ReportBrowser\ReportBrowserWeb\SiteLayout.Master.designer.cs'.
---------------------------
OK  
---------------------------

Found a good solution here

1) Right-click the designer file and select delete
2) Right-click the aspx file and select Convert to Web Application

I've decided to start a new series of articles on how I solve various problems in my daily programmer lifee. Usually a problem has a distinct message box that shows up which you can copy the text of with the CTRL + C key combination. I think that a lot of people search directly for this text, and it woudl be awesome to have it solved. Maybe I'll even start a website some day to host these solutions so that people (or in a perfect world the vendor...) can post a solution to them. For today, here's my problem that I experienced inside of devenv.exe (Visual Studio 2008) today while trying to use the Server Explorer to add a new Data Connection.

---------------------------
Server Explorer

I was tipped off by this forum post http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.vstudio.general&tid=89ee0e86-b8fc-40a7-a0e1-51ac4033302e&cat=en_US_38f7e3d1-40bd-4daf-941f-f45d2ff6ff9b&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=&p=1

Sometimes you're at a building who proxies their internet connection and you need to get a copy of some code from sourceforge.net.

The Subversion FAQ has great info on this http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#proxy

The specific file you want is %APPDATA%\Subversion\servers

Edit the [global] section

# is the comment character. Remove it to enable the following sections

http-proxy-host # the IP address or hostname of the proxy (don't include http or https)
http-proxy-port # the port the proxy service is hosted on
http-proxy-username # username (sometimes you need the netBiosDomain\username)
http-proxy-password  # password
http-timeout  # in seconds
http-auth-types # authentication protocols.
