Running 2 copies of VS 2012 Pro at the same time -- question

I have two projects that I want to work on at the same time (neither shares files from the other so they are independent) -- one is actually a class library (DLL) and the other is an application, but the application doesn't point to the compiled DLL automatically
(I have to manually copy it to the application's folder to use the compiled version so they are not directly interacting with eachother in any way).
So, I've found that you can run multiple instances of VS with different projects open... but here's my problem: sometimes it loads files from one project in the other IDE window, and causes issues when I flip back and forth between instances of VS (basically
keeps telling me that the document was updated outside of VS -- as in, the other IDE instance--and needs to be reloaded). 
So, long story short, it displays the errors and source code file in whichever instance of VS I'm currently working with (or whichever instance is test "running" the app; so for example, if I"m working on the app and an error in the class
lib occurs, it displays the source code files in the IDE that has the app open, not the class lib.  So if I flip back to the class lib instance of VS, I get the warning messages about files being updated outside of VS).
Is there a way to tell VS to keep the two separate or just display an error and not try to open the source code file that has the error when one occurs?
It's more of an annoyance than anything, but I would like to be able to flip back and forth without issues because now that I've found you can have multiple instances open, I can get more done faster (with the exception of this "problem").
Ideas?

My first thought is that, since only one of your projects is an application (the other is a DLL) why not have a single solution that builds both projects and work on them in a single instance of Visual Studio?
I ask this because you cannot launch a DLL project directly.  And if you only ever plan to run code in your DLL by running the exe, then just have them in the same solution and use them in the same IDE.
What is the benefit to you of having two separate instances of Visual Studio running?  (Particularly given that it's giving you a headache while debugging.)
You can "flip back and forth" as you specified, but only if you're debugging two different processes -- each IDE would need to be debugging its own process.  If you know what exception you're expecting because you're debugging a particular
issue then you can leave the debugger detached, and then when you get the unhandled exception you can choose which running instance of visual studio to attach (or select to launch a new instance.)
 As far as I can tell, it sounds like you are debugging a program composed of multiple projects (an exe and a dll).  They should simply be in the same solution and you can debug them together in a single IDE.  You can open windows from either
project.  Not sure what having two IDEs is getting you.

  • Run invoke-command on multiple machines at the same time

    Hey all so I read that if I store my New-pssession in a variable then used that in my invoke-command it would run all computers at the same time.
    $a = Get-Content "C:\Users\cody-horton\Desktop\list.txt"
    $session
    for($i=0;$i -lt $a.Length;$i++){
    if(!(Test-Connection -Cn $a[$i] -BufferSize 16 -Count 1 -ea 0 -quiet)){
    Write-Host $a[$i] -foregroundcolor red
    else{
    $session = New-PSSession $a[$i]
    Invoke-Command -Session $session -FilePath "\\My computer\C`$\Users\public\Documents\zip folder.ps1"
    What exactly am I doing wrong I just need to run this script on multiple machines at the same time.
    Thanks.
    Edit: Also what would be the best way to close all the sessions thanks.

    Hi there,
    So what I think you are doing wrong here is that you are overwriting the value in $Session everytime you executed code inside for loop. try the below:
    $a = Get-Content "C:\Users\cody-horton\Desktop\list.txt"
    $session = @() #define this as an array
    for($i=0;$i -lt $a.Length;$i++){
    if(!(Test-Connection -Cn $a[$i] -BufferSize 16 -Count 1 -ea 0 -quiet)){
    Write-Host $a[$i] -foregroundcolor red
    else{
    $session += New-PSSession $a[$i] #add the new session to the array, at the end it will be a collection of sessions
    Invoke-Command -Session $session -FilePath "\\My computer\C`$\Users\public\Documents\zip folder.ps1" #I think the above one won't work..first you need to copy the script locally on the machine and then execute it#Why this won't work because of Second-Hop Authentication
    Have put comments where I edited your code.
    Hope this helps

  • How can i run multiple instances of Photoshop EXE at the same time on windows 7

    Alright. You may ask why do you need multiple ?
    Assume that i have 10000 PSD files in 10 different folders
    I have a script that just save as them as PNG
    And these files are each 3000x3000 px
    My computer has 8 cores and 1 photoshop exe is only using 1 cpu core
    Also i have SSD raid system it has 750 mb read write per second
    So right now i am wasting my time with running only 1 photoshop exe instead of at least 4

    I'm not aware of a way to run multiple instances or different versions of photoshop at the same time on windows.
    Assuming of course they are all installed on the same operating system.
    On mac versions you can running two different versions of photoshop at the same time, but i don't think that's possible on windows where it
    appears that only one version of photoshop can run at a time.

  • Mac Pro can't running two fire wire hard disks at the same time .

    Mac Pro can’t running any two fire wire hard disks at the same time . which two hard disks have extra power from power socket . If i just insert one of them .No problem . If connect two Hds at the same time. Leopard cant find it and the Hds seem no problem. the machine must be restarted and then use one . No problem . I have formated the HD many times .even if which format is Fat 32 or Mac issue persists .Boot from installation CD used the disk utility . Issue stills . If i used one fire wire HD that get power from power socket and used one fire wire device . Leopard was no problem during this time . Whether is this design problem or my machine hardware problem?My Mac has been changed the logic board by Apple service . Do you have similar case in here????

    I connect both hard disks that get power from power supply normally. Also have ever changed the format as GUID. Which always use the power cord . I felt confusion why the issue just happened connect both hard disks with extra power at the same time. If i used one hard disk connect to firewire port . Another firewire port connect other firewire device . No problem at all.

  • Need to run windows OS on my macbook pro at the same time with MAC OS. what do i use

    Depending on the specific features that you think you need in a Virtual Machine, you should research the paid "Parallels" and "VMWare Fusion", and the free yet very capable "VirtualBox".  I personally use VirtualBox because it does NOT include all of the Mac-to-VM interactivity features that the others do.  For performance and security reasons, I specifically do not want my VM to be able to interact with my Mac OS host in any way other than copy and paste.
    On your Windows VM, if you are running windows 8.1, and are not logged in as an administrator as your primary account, then the built in Windows Defender is a perfectly suitable for anti-malware protection.  If you are running Windows 7 (or 8.1) and want additional protection I would recommend "BitDefender Free" as it has great protection yet has a very light-weight performance hit.

  • Can you have multiple users working off the same Mac pro at the same time with multiple monitors but doing different things?

    I'm buying desktops for a start up company and was wondering if I could purchase a single Mac Pro and run multiple monitors to allow multiple users to work on the computer at the same time. These users would be doing different tasks but I would hope to accomplish that on a single desktop. I know that screen sharing is possible but with only one user controlling both of the screens. Thanks in advance, sorry for my apple ignorance!

    A lot of companies are buying or leasing laptops to be used at the office by day, and carried home at night.
    Some companies are doing "Bring your own device". Bring a device to receive email -- computer/smartphone/tablet you already have, or have an allowance to buy one for your use.
    If Capital is short (and when is it not) leasing computers, to be turned in a few years, can be a huge savings because the cost is expensed as incurred. The alternative is laying out cash today, but not being able to expense the cost this year. Instead, the computer expense must be recovered over their useful life (often five years) through depreciation.

  • Labview runs CANBus and DNP3 software model at the same time

    I have an ordinary computer which communicates with several DSPs (CANBus communiation) through Compact Rio. The physical connection is that the DSPs' CANBuses are connected together and connected into Compact Rio, then the Compact Rio is connected with a router through Ethernet, at the same time, the computer also connects with the Router through Ethernet. Based on this physical architecture, the computer can run CANBus software model on Labview to communiate with Compact Rio and DSPs.
    As I know, the communication between the computer and the Compact Rio is not real time, and the communication between Compact Rio and DSPs can be real time, can you tell me if I get the right point?
    Now we have another device named RTDS (communicate with outside through Enternet based on DNP3), and want to add RTDS into our system. I am not sure about the way to conduct the communiation. The main question is that we need to run Labview to communicate with DSPs through CANBus and RTDS through DNP3 at the same time, is that possible?
    I proposed two possible ways to conduct communication, bt not sure if it is possible.
    1. I proposed that I connect RTDS with the Router through Ethernet, and then the computer communicates with RTDS through the Router based on DNP3 and also keeps the communication with DSPs through Router, Compact Rio, CANBus and then DSPs. I am wondering if this kind of communication is available for Labview.
    2. The second possible way I proposed is that I connect the RTDS with Compat Rio (CRio keeps connecting with DSPs through CANBus) through Ethernet, and then the computer communicates with DSPs through Router, Compact Rio and CANBus, and the computer communicates with RTDS through Router, Compact Rio and Ethernet. Also, the computer needs to run Labview with CANBus sofeware model and DNP3 software model at the same time. I am also not sure if it is possible.
    The diagram of the communication system is shown in the attachments.

    To use Mail from multiple devices, your Mail Server needs to be using IMAP protocol (iCloud Mail uses that).
    IMAP keeps the Master copies on the Server, not on the Mac the way most default POP Mail servers do.
    To keep one Master Calendar, accessible from all devices, you need a web-accessible place to keep the Master Calendar. iCloud can do that.
    ¿Do you see a trend developing here?

  • Is there a way to restore more than one MacBook Pro at the same time from an image? .

    I restore each MacBook Pro one at a time from an Mountain Lion image on a firewire Hard Drive but each MacBook has to be done one at a time. When I re-image the PC's here at work I'm able to Ghost as many laptops I want simultaneously.
    Thank you

    They are a few different models of the MacBook Pro ranging from 15.4" i7's to 17" i7's. I would use the same models together though when imaging them just like I do with PC's. For example I would Ghost 5 Lenovo T420 Thinkpads at the same time which all share the same exact specs and config. Looking to do the same with the MBP. I have .dmg image of OSX 10.8.1 on a firewire drive which I'm using. I image all my MBP's with this drive, the only downside is I have to do each MBP one at a time.
    Thanks

  • Is it possible to run both Netflow v5 and v9 at the same time

    No Amanda,
    we cannot simultaneously configure both versions of NETFLOW on cisco ios. After configuring firstone when you try to configure other version it will override the previously configured version.

  • Running 2 different version of Quicktime at the same time ?

    Is it possible to have two different versions of QuickTime installed on one PC at the same time ?
    The reason for this is that I have been using Sony's software MovieShaker to import and work with Sony's proprietary MMV video camera format. This piece of software works with QuickTime version 5.
    Now that I recently bought the iPod nano, I have installed iTunes, which of course works with a higher version of QucikTime (6+).
    With this higher version of QuickTime, my video capture software does not work and vice versa, with QuickTime 5 my iTunes (and iPod nano) can not be used.
    Is there a possible workaround that someone is aware of such that I can still work from one PC?
    Appreciate any feedback - thanks
    PC Windows   Windows XP Pro   Sony Movieshaker 3.1 MMV format

    You can only have one full installation of the QuickTime system software but the Player is just an application and should work with later versions. So what you need to do is re-install QT 5, which you can find for Windows here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/quicktime/
    then rename QT Player, let say Quicktime Player5. then reinstall QT 6. This time it should ignore the renamed Player (to be safe save it off line somewhere before reinstalling QT 6). No guarantee for Windows but this techinque works fine in QT for MacOS. Hope this works for you.

  • Can't run Pshop and another adobe program at the same time

    Hi all,
    I'm experiencing a frustration problem. I can't run two adobe programs a the same time - ie, Lightroom and photoshop, After effects and photoshop.
    Lightrrom and After effects sem to be playing together okay at the moment so looks like it may be a PShop issue.
    Running final release of windows 7 64 bit, licenced PS3, trial AE, trial PS4....8GB Ram,  has been with both Nvidia and ATI video cards, open GL on , Open GL off, seperate scratch disks, reinstalled everything,
    Any help, advice, hints would be really appreciated as having to close programs all the time when switching apps is a real pain in the neck
    cheers
    Jeff

    thanks whytefly,
    yeah I thought that may be the case but then realised both After effects and CS3 are 32bit (86x) and I can't run those together
    I'm jealous as hell that you can run 3 together  haha,
    cheers

  • Run Javascript Routine and Validations/Proccesses At The Same Time

    I have a Submit Button. When a user clicks it, I want the following to happen...
    1) I want a Javascrip Function to run
    2) I want the Validations And After Submit Proccesses To Run
    I can do each seperately, but can't figure out how to do both at the same time. I can run the Javascript Function by assigning a Optional URL to the submit button (javascript:blah()) , but the Validations and Proccesses are by passed. I can have the normal submit process, but this doesn't do the Javascript part.

    Hi,
    You can chain javascript calls:
    javascript:blah();doSubmit('buttonname');As long as blah() doesn't return false, then the doSubmit() function will be called and the page submitted as normal.
