Direct Microsoft download URLs for the various Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 ISO files.
I won’t even try myself finding them through the Microsoft sites any more given the trouble I had: How can I get Win10_1511_1_English_x64.iso or Win10_1511_1_EnglishInternational_x64.iso ? « The Wiert Corner – irregular stream of stuff

Boy I wish I had known this earlier. Like years ago…
In the Solution Explorer:
It is next to the “Project Dependencies” in this image from Sara Ford:
Sara Ford: change “Project Build Order”
In the resulting dialog, you can change the build order within your solution.
This can be very useful when – for various reasons – you cannot have Project Level dependencies for an assembly, but have to have Assembly Reference dependencies for individual assemblies.
At a client I bumped into this, and this dialog was a life saver for us.
Others have used it because some Visual Studio versions miscalculate the dependencies.

Do NOT delete the folder "C:\ProgramData\Package Cache".
But you can move it to another storage and link to it so when you change/update/remove Visual Studio 2012, you still have access to it.

Since they’re hard to find on-line, and sometimes I need them when not having access to my collective browser or email history:
Notes:

E:\TEMP\AQtime824.exe

Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

To get going for my special case, I watched some sample videos (which I did get to work in Internet Explorer but not in Chrome forty-something):
I needed it to do some profiling comparisons of services running under different configurations.

For my link list as one day I will surely need a tool like this:
The project was checked using the PVS-Studio static code analyzer.

Back in the Visual Studio 2010 days there was a request for Printing source code with syntax coloring.
Then, the Visual Studio team released an extension that did just that: Color Printing Extension Now Available! – The Visual Studio Blog – Site Home – MSDN Blogs.
It got updated for Visual Studio 2012 in the gallery Color Printing extension, but that does not mention it has moved to the Productivity Power Tools 2013 extension.
Both tools are from the Visual Studio IDE team, and mentioned on their blog.

I tend to forget this: xsd.exe can resolve xs:include, but not xs:import. When using xs:import it will complain about missing types.
Simple solution: reference all imported XSDs (but not included XSDs) on the same command-line:
I was trying to create a C# class with xsd.exe from an schema that imports others schemas like that xsd.exe /c schema.xsd and it fails miserably reporting an error like “The datatype ‘xxx’ is missing.”. Basically xsd.exe doesn’t resolve the schemaLocation attribute.
Dare Obasanjo’s article addresses the problem, and Scott Hanselman had the same problem -and solved it-.
The solution isn’t very nice, but at least it’s simple. You have to tell xsd.exe all the schema referenced, xsd.exe /c schema.xsd importedSchema1.xsd importedSchema2.xsd
Be aware that the C# filename is sometimes generated from all XSD filenames on the command-line (I’ve noticed this when the import is specified before the actual XSD file, if the import is at the end, the name of the import is used.
If my memory serves me right, older versions of XSD.exe could not resolve unix-style relative paths on the command-line, but newer versions do.

The not so good thing: I won’t be using it for a while as now for like 6 weeks or so, all the embarcadero HTTPS sites have been vulnerable to the DROWN man-in-the-middle attack that has been discovered 20160301.
Which means that even without going around the non-HTTPS partner site, I won’t be able to make a secure connection and install it.
Which gives me more time to play with the Xamarin Visual Studio 2015 integration, the cool stuff that MvvmCross offers and some of the other .NET Goodness at BUILD 2016 – .NET ALL THE THINGS! | Beth Massi

Visual Studio is a pretty big product and will take over 30GB of disk space after installation

LOL. It’s about half the size of recent Delphi versions.

It is pretty easy to switch from the XSD Designer to the Code view: c# – Viewing XSD as code – Stack Overflow.
But I got a bit fed up of doing this each and every time after opening an XSD file in Visual Studio.
It turns out there is a default for that which is a bit hidden away: in the File Open dialog. There,
right click on an XSD file, choose “Open with…” and select the appropriate option – then click on “Set as Default” before you actually open it.
