Tip 1
VS2010 temporary file control, VS2010 will generate temporary files under each project, these temporary files are meaningless and not very friendly to SVN; Modify compiler settings to get rid of them;

Tip 2
Visual Studio debugging avoids entering STL and other library function settings
If the parameter of the function has STL template object, it is easy to follow the STL's constructor in the step tracking, but it doesn't make any sense for us to debug the problem; Modify the compiler settings to solve this problem once and for all, and then trace the code only into the code we write ourselves.

Tip 3
The program crashes when prompted to enter the shutdown of the debug function
Many software crashes will prompt to do not go into debugging, especially the code of their own writing, on the one hand, many programs crashed on the machine may not have a debugger, so that the pop-up dialog box is meaningless, on the other hand maybe we do not leave the corresponding version of the unmodified code and PDB debug files on their own machine, Opening the debugger does not help, so the dialog box is very chicken, modify the compiler option is forbidden; Track and find bugs in a single-step debugging is usually not feasible for large software, or the use of logs to analyze existing problems; by the way, Log4cxx, a very powerful library for C + + programs to log;

Tip 4
Set a theme for VS
Set the editor to green beans feel that can protect the eyes must be self-deception, to protect the eyes to see more landscape less computer is over; however, proper adjustment of the compiler's color is much more comfortable to see the code.
Below this site has a lot of VS theme can be downloaded to local; Then from the menu Tools->import and Export settings import theme can be modified color, also recommended a font Consolas, look very comfortable;

Tip 6
The Savior of Obsessive compulsive disorder
Formatting code shortcut keys
Ctrl + A Selects all code
Ctrl + E + f/alt + F8 formatting code
Show/Hide Invisible characters
Ctrl + Shift + 8
This shortcut controls the display of spaces and tabs, and you'll know where you've mixed tabs and spaces, where you've added a lot of meaningless spaces and tabs at the end of the line. The main problem with space and tab is that the code alignment is confusing when the editor is opened, because the default tab settings for the different editors may not be the same, and the simple thing is to stick with the blanks and set the tab to replace 4 spaces. For already written code, The Space and tab display and then change the good can cure obsessive-compulsive disorder;
The above is only personal experience, does not have generality;
