How to: How can I prevent Visual Studio 2013 from closing my IIS Express app when I end debugging?

How can I prevent Visual Studio 2013 from closing my IIS Express app when I end debugging?

Previously in 2012, if I debugged in Chrome (for example), and then stopped the debugger, the website would remain running in IIS Express. This no longer seems to be the case in 2013.

Is this a new change that I need to make? How can I keep the website instance running even after I stop the debugger?…

How to hide reference counts in VS2013?

Visual Studio 2013 introduced a new feature where it shows you how many times each of your methods are used.

How to: Can I record/play Macros in Visual Studio 2012/2013?

Can I record/play Macros in Visual Studio 2012/2013?

Apparently macros were dropped from VS 2012.

Is there a plugin/extension/tool that will let me record & play keyboard macros (much like the record/play temporary macro in VS 2010)?

E.g. I typically would use a macro when converting code from one language to another or to quickly generate properties from a text list, etc.

Why can’t my program compile under Windows 7 in French?

I’m running Windows 7 French and I’m trying to compile this really basic program, but Visual Studio is being stubborn and refuses to comply. I also tried compiling it with both GCC 4.7 and Clang trunk on Coliruand I get more or less the same errors (output is below the code), though I think Coliru runs on an English OS so I wouldn’t expect…
