Open VisualStudio: This command is useful to launch the proper C++ MS-Studio (if several installed on the computer) according to the setting done in the compiler section. Also, the MS-Studio will inherit from the environment of vsTASKER GUI which might be helpful if local paths and environment variables are used.

 

Compact Database: Remove all backup and empty files of the current database to reduce its size. Do it after each stable phase.

 

Fix Database: Redefine all object IDs and refresh all links to make sure of the uniqueness of each reference. Remove orphan objects.

 

Update Code: Force comparing the generated files and the current database user code to retrofit the changes in the file into the database. This feature allows user to change the code inside Visual Studio and have it automatically and properly retrofit back into the vsTASKER database. See Code Updater chapter in the Programming Guide.
