• EShepley Apply 2 or more styles to an element

  Is it possible to apply more than a single style to an element Say I have two controls that basically use the same style, except for minor differences. If I create and use 2 styles which are mostly identical, there's a lot of repetition, so it'd be good if a common style can be applied to both, and then a secondary style can be applied to each element specific to its needs. Is this possible Obviously I could directly set element attributes to achieve some of this, but then what's the whole point in using styles Alternatively, can styles inherit from other styles If so, we could have the base style, and then each element can have its specific style derived from this common base style. That would be useful too. Thanks in advance. ...Show All

• William Xie View Pending Checkins

  I am creating a custom source control.Is it possible to populate and display the View Pending Checkins window in the Visual Studio with my custom source control If yes, hw do i do it pls help. You can show the View Pending Checkins window using DTE.ExecuteCommand("View.PendingCheckins"). About populating it, I think it is done automatically by VS, assuming that you are building a Source Code Control (SCC) provider compliant with VS. The VS 2005 SDK has documentation about this subject, and if I remember correctly there were two approaches, one simple and other more complex. From within a package you can use GetService(Typeof(DTE)) Thanks Carlos.But how do I obtain a reference ...Show All

• smk_k InnerXml parsing

  < TextBlock DataContext = " {Binding Source={StaticResource xmlTrees}} " Text = " {Binding Path=InnerXml} " > </ TextBlock > The above XAML produces the string: <species Name="Red" Scientific="Acer rubrum"/> <!-- red maple --> Now, it took me some time to produce that but what I really want to produce is the text of the 'Scientific' attribute. Can I do that entirely with XAML or do I have to parse the InnerXml in the code-behind or something else All clues appreciated. You can use the XPath property of the TextBox's Binding, instead of the Path. You can set it to something like XPath=species ...Show All

• Bill Reiss Accessing parent project from invoked child project

  When a project calls msbuild on a child project - is there any way to access anything in the invoking/parent project Is there any way to determine the project filename, or anything about the parent project This could be either via the msbuild XML or from a custom task, ie via the object model. I've been looking at the object model and at the internal classes but haven't found anything appropriate. /marcus Ok, this is interesting; if I build the parent project from the command line, the solutions in the child project file will build, but the output is going in BinariesRoot\Debug or BinariesRoot\Release instead of the path I want to set. If I run the team build from VS, nothing in the child project build ...Show All

• Sanchit Bahal see-reference to generic method from addiotional content htm file

  Hello, using the Sandcaste Help File Builder, I have a bunch of "additional content" htm files where I sometimes use <see ..> tags to reference the generated documentation. How do I correctly reference a method with a generic type parameter from such additional files I tried both <see cref="MyClass.MyMethod{T}(byte[],bool)" /> and <see cref="MyClass.MyMethod&lt;T&gt;(byte[],bool)" /> but neither works. The former version is the syntax that works within the class library docs, but does not seem to work coming from additional content.

• Furrukh Baig Excel Add-in issue opening workbook

  I've got an Excel 2003 VSTO 2005 add-in. It works fine when running debug mode. I need to open a preexisting saved worksheet. I've done so by adding the path to the worksheet in debug mode and it opens fine. However, when I go to open the file independent of VS, and try to reference the active workbook in the initialization of my add-in, it comes back with a object reference not set error. I've done a count on the workbooks and it appears that the workbook isn't yet loaded. Why is the workbook loading when I debug but when I run direct by double clicking on the .xls file, it isn't until after the addin has been loaded Denis, Thanks for the additional information.

• gabit7 The expression cannot be evaluated while in design mode

IF I am not in design mode... and ONLY use text editors... how can I get this message: The expression cannot be evaluated while in design mode. Is this a MSFT BUG or is there a way to be in design mode without actually using the designer, attempting to engage it, or actually using anything non-text to write a program If I am not mistaken, the debugger performs a pseudo-build in memory to instantiate objects, is this correct In the context of the project itself which kept generating that error, it was a library that I built for our company's websites.
