What happened to the Visual Studio extension for "Ultra Find"? I've seen references all over this site and the Internet for this allegedly awesome extension. Here are a couple of links:

And here's a S.O. link:
How to exclude designer.cs from Visual Studio file search
However, when I search in the VS Extension Manager, nothing shows up. It's as if the extension never existed.
I am guessing the author pulled it for some reason, perhaps in anticipation of updating it for VS 2012. I noticed this disappearance too a few weeks ago, as I would check now and then to see if there was an official VS2012 release.
I wrote up instructions for using the VS2010 extension for VS2012 here. This is still relevant, if you still have it installed on VS2010 then this will allow you to get it up and running.
All very mysterious, I commented on his blog once or twice and never got a response. It's a shame because it's a great plugin. I still use it but, being seemingly unsupported, am looking for alternatives.
Edit
I switched to Entrian Source Search some time ago. This is commercial software but well worth the price. Not aware of any free alternatives that are nearly as useful.

There is an excellent article available at the following URL (below), but I cannot figure out where I can download a copy of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. I've looked all over the Internet, but the download links are either not working (those that are at Microsoft), or they go to very suspicious looking websites.

Of course the other question that can be asked is, can this process be adapted to work on the most recent version (or at least a version that can actually be downloaded)?
Here's one link for you, straight from the horse's hands.

I can't find any recent resources on the monodevelop ASP.NET visual designer.
This question is from 2012, and the the link to the plugin in the bottom answer doesn't work.
The only documentation on it that I was able to find hasn't been updated since 2008.
I also looked around the Monodevelop source code repositories and did find the plugin, however it appears to not have gotten any updates in years.
I would like to know - is there any recent development?
Would what we have even work with a more recent version of Monodevelop, such as 5.5 or 5.6? If it does, where would I find instructions on building it? (I have tried, it unfortunately did not work)
My company recently migrated to Visual Studio 2012 and I am using it to develop web application using ASPX pages. The pages are split with the C# in a code-behind file. After using 2012 for a couple weeks now, I noticed something: if my ASPX page does not correctly validate to the HTML5 standard (i.e. I am missing a closing tag somewhere), the page will not save. This problem does not occur in the code-behind file, nor does it occur on Razor pages.
I briefly looked through the standard Visual Studio settings pages, but cannot find a setting to allow invalid code to be saved. I also have Resharper installed (as well as the Productivity Power Tools), but cannot find a setting in either of those extensions that seem to relate to my issue. If it matters, the project I am working on is part of a TFS solution.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, does anyone know of a setting that might have caused this that I may be overlooking?
Update: Since posting this, I have noticed that I am unable to save even after the page has been validated. It can take up to a minute before Visual Studio allows me to save the page. The length of time may be related to the amount of text that I entered before trying to save.
Update 2: After talking to a coworker who has a similar set of extensions, I determined that Resharper must be causing the problem. If anyone knows of a Resharper 7 setting that may be causing this, please let me know. I can't tell if this is a bug or an intended feature.
Final Update: Thank you to all who offered assistance, but after installing the Visual Studio Update 1, I no longer notice the problem. It seems to have been a bug that was fixed with the update.
As stated in the final update section in the question, after installing the Visual Studio Update 1, I no longer notice the problem. It seems to have been a bug that was fixed with the update. Problem resolved!
Grrr, still happening in 2015, and I don't even have ReSharper or Productivity Power Tools installed. I found a workaround. I quit VS, said YES to saving the items in the popup, reopened it, and found that they were saved to older statuses. I re-changed the code, saved (took many seconds but probably less than a minute), and recompiled, and the changes took this time.
It was nice that when I quit and saved (unsuccessfully), it at least showed that the code was in an older state, instead of showing the newer code with a perpetual asterisk.
I'd never seen this before, and hope never to again.
Hai Friends
I having the project in Vb i want to migrate that project in the vb.net.any tool available pls inform me.i have tried a lot.i have not installed the visual basic.with the help of remote server i am running that project.
Quite a few versions of Visual studio have a built-in Upgrade Wizard to help you with converting VB6 to Vb.Net code. I know that VS 2005 Pro has it but I'm not sure what other versions.
Here's an article about how to go about upgrading. And there's even a complete free e-book about it as can be found here.
Aside from the sources Ho1 mentions some of the biggest pitfalls are the lack of control arrays, printing and graphics. The printing can be partly mitigated by the use of Printer Compatibility. You can download the PCL as part of the Visual Basic Power Pack 3.0.
If you have room in your budget I would recommend ArtinSoft. www.artinsoft.com. They have a trial version that you can test out. They have been named Microsoft's preferred VB to .NET upgrade solution provider.
I have trialed artinsoft's upgrade companion.
I have also looked at vbmigration partner.
This is my, very limited, anecdotal experience.
On vbmigration partner they have some sample conversions of projects they found on planat sourcecode.
One is call ezdatabase.
If you run vbmigration partner's conversion it will crash if you click the connect/disconnect button more than twice.
On the vb6 version you can click this all day without crashing.
This project is small enough to put through the artinsoft trial of vbuc in its entirety, so i did that.
However after i converted it, there seemed to be a lot of compile errors.
It's not a fair comparison as obviously vb migration partner had lots of opportunity to perfect it before putting the converted code on their website. and yet it was easy to crash.
However I was also disappointed with artinsoft's tool as this was just a small (few hundred lines) crud application and yet there were a lot of compile errors.
Make of this what you will. I would like to hear of others' experiences.
EDIT : On the other hand if this is a true test of the relative capabilities of vb migration partner and artinsoft vbuc then vb migration arner is clearly the winner in this example

What's the best way for me to learn how to use Subversion as a source code control for my Asp.Net Web Projects?
I haven't had much contact with source control before; however I have a very basic understanding of its features, so I'm looking for a way to learn the best practices.
Any tip will be very appreciated.
Once you've setup SVN you'll need to setup your repository structure. A common setup is to have a Branch, Tag, Trunk setup however there are others that may suit your needs.
Once you've setup your server you'll need a client. The most common one is TortoiseSVN. It doesn't integrate with Visual Studio, however it's extremely powerful.
Once you install tortoise, you'll want to setup your exclusion list to make sure you only commit files that are relevant to your project.
Then for a better understanding of how to use source control in general check out Eric Sinks Source Control HOWTO
TortoiseSVN?
Pretty easy to use...
It's integrated into the windows shell so basically it works from Windows Explorer.. I'm not sure if its integrated into VisualStudio 2008, but it's so easy to use anyway that I dont think you'd need it.. :)
EDIT: Plus, it's free.. :) And it's got a bunch of tools like Diff/Merge.. :) Although for that I think WinMerge is better.. But that's beside the point.. :)
I really recommend VisualSVN. It is a great product for integrating Subversion with Visual Studio.
http://www.visualsvn.com/
I would recommend ankhsvn for integrating with visual studio. I works nicely and looks similar to TFS. I also use tortoise svn for windows shell integration. Both complement each other nicely.
Not strictly related to Subversion, but Eric Sink has an excellent source control primer if you need to review the basics. Don't forget that the Subversion book is free, and it's probably the most complete (and yet still quite practical) resource on Subversion.
Like Web and Jerry, I generally like AnkhSvn for Visual Studio integration, and also make use of TortoiseSvn as a complementary tool. (For example, Tortoise's log viewer is still a bit more advanced, so sometimes I'll go in with that.)
That said, I'm not totally sure I would suggest using AnkhSvn for ASP.NET Web Site Projects. (I use it for ASP.NET Web Application Projects, Class Library Projects, and Console Applications.) There are some quirks that you might find frustrating. See this message in particular and this thread in general, from the AnkhSvn mailing list:
http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=582&dsMessageId=132185
You could probably live with the quirks, and maybe the AnkhSvn will eventually eliminate them all, but in my case I chose to move to Web Application Projects (instead of Web Site Projects) partly because they work better with AnkhSvn.
Also, if you do go with AnkhSvn, I suggest running one of the nightly builds, rather than the latest stable release; the nightly builds seem to have many fewer bugs and to be more useful.
I didnt get any answers when i was getting my first svn set-up for php development... so i would like to help you but i dont know any visual studio integration.
I used tortoise(btw is great and is for windows, i could help you im sure) and theres a couple of tutorials on how to set up a small repo in your own pc
Get familiar with source control terms and concepts first. Eric Sink has written a great guide for getting up to speed.
I know someone has already said "AnkhSVN", but I'd like to second that nomination. I use AnkhSVN for my department, and I love it. It integrates completely with VS2008, and gives me almost no trouble.
I also use TortiseSVN for its "Repo Browser" functionality... but I rarely ever have to go into that anymore.
Both are EXCELLENT solutions, and used jointly, should be all you need. And both are free.
