Visual Studio .NET sanity I created a little .exe which sends a command-line to a running instance of VS.NET. For example, you could set up a macro in your favorite editor to jump into VS.NET at your current edit location, to set a breakpoint or whatever. E.g.: DevEnvCommand File.OpenFile c:/path/to/some/file.cpp DevEnvCommand Edit.GoTo 37 with emacsvstudio
