• sailajam Service references and libraries

  I have many libraries in my app and wanted to create a 'WCF services' library to keep all of my services references and functions in one place. I find that it does not work unless I have a service reference in the services library and in each of the calling libraries - obviously not simplifying things as intended. Is there a way of doing this Thanks John Just a thought. As I'm using VB, can this be something to do with namespaces in VB John Follow up to initial post. I was still having problems in my main app referencing the WCF service from a library (dll). A test app worked fine with the code in the main app - no dll's! I found that when I put ...Show All

• seamonkeyz How to report a bug in MSBuild

  If you have found a bug in MSBuild (or anything else in Visual Studio) the best way to report it is via the product feedback center: https://connect.microsoft.com/feedback/Search.aspx SiteID=210 This allows you to track the progress of the issue, which you wouldn't be able to do if we opened the issue internally ourselves. Also, customer reported issues get higher priority, so it's more likely to be fixed. Sometimes bugs are hard or impossible for us to reproduce, which makes it very hard for us to address them. Here's some tips on a good bug report: 1) Attach a solution or project that reproduces the problem, or steps for creating one from scratch. If at all possible, please narrow down the code and the solution to the simples ...Show All

• Shihan Creating Word 2007 doc and template projects with VSTO SE

  I am trying to complete the setup for a machine I am using for Word 2007 and VSTO SE development. I did a complete reinstall of Visual Studio and VSTO after first removing VSTO CTP v3. (This is in leiu of re-imaging the machine, as the VSTO SE download details suggest might be necessary after running the CTP version). All is well, except in order to complete the full/original VSTO installation, I had to temporarily put Word 2003 SP1 on the machine. So I installed Word 2003 SP1 on my Word 2007 machine, then installed VSTO, then removed Word 2003, and finally installed VSTO SE. VSTO SE runs fine and gives me the new Word 2007 Add-in options as expected. However, the other options for launching a new Word document and Word templa ...Show All

• Basiclife Custom tool window like DSL Details..

  Hi all, I have defined my first little language with the very impressive DSL Tools. When I now work with the application I miss a custom window to handle the (very specific) configuration of some of my model classes. What I need is a tool like the DSL Details tool window so I want to ask if someone has already builds a similar think. Seems like I have two (write an Add-in or a Package) or more options to solve my requirements but I’m not sure what is the best way to do this. Today I’m not very familiar with writing any kind of IDE Extension but after looking in the documentation it looks not really hard. But the first big problem is: How can I call a command from the DSL Designer View to the Add-in and vice versa. ...Show All

• Mateus1223 LINQ vs. 2.0 SQL Server Projects vs. SQL Scripts

  Good Day, At present, most of my orgs DB scripting is kept on the SQL server in the form of stored procs. This has proved a management and versioning pain. Hence, SQL server projects may be a way to move the scripts out of the SQL server. A few questions though...
