• Vipul211890 Language Services and Extending the C# Compiler, Lexer/Parser

  I would like to add some of my own keywords and Types into the already existing C# language service. I'm using the SDK Example.ManageMyC as a template to create my own language service but I'd also like to use C# code in my source files. Can this be done My code type is presently embedded in string parameters to C# classes, the strings are then manipulated at runtime, I want to provide a way to also edit my code in the same texteditor as the C# one. One workaround I'm thinking might be to create C'# wrapper classes for my language which generates the string, which is then passed to the C# class inst. e.g. MyCSharpClass myCSharpInst = new MyCSharpClass(); myCSharpInst.Name = "SomeNameString"; myCSharpInst.Constraint = "new ...Show All

• Fayez Mutairi What is the Difference between 64bit and IA 64bit?

  I have a 64bit system that I'm wanting to install vstudio 2005 on, but I don't know what the difference is between the 64bit CDs and the IA 64 bit CDs. If you have a IA64 bit cpu you cannot install Visual Studio 2005. There is however support for targetting IA64 or x64 from within Visual Studio. Nevertheless Visual Studio 2005 is a 32-bit application so there is really only setup you can do, the cd's will propably contain other tools. Are you sure one of them wasn’t x64 IA 64 refers to the old Intel 64-bit architecture based on the Itanium processors, a platform that is slowly going away due to slow adoption and extreme costs. Most 64-bit talk you here about Windows these days (and likely into the future) is known as x64 ...Show All

• KitWest VSS Server 6.0 & 2005 Side By Side

  Can I install VSS 2005 Server on a machine thats running the VSS 6.0 server process Will there be conflicts in the registry, databases etc OK, we will go surely with VSS 2005. Thanks. Just one more question, and about changing my server.

No problem, that's what the forums are for :) Side-by-side installations are a tested & supported config. ...Show All

• Swanands Simulat a click event on a Reportviewer control

  Hello I have a requirement that the user wants to click anywhere on a report in a reportviewer control on a web page and have it spawn a new web page. Since the reportviewer control does not have a click event, how can I acomplish this Thanks in advance BigGuy After playing around, I came up with a way to accomplish what was desired. This is ugly but it does work. Since I'm using a table containing only textboxes, I set the Jump to URL value on each textbox (headers, column headings, fields) to the page that I wanted to go to. The only problem with this approach is if you click in an area of the report that is not part of a textbox, nothing will happen. The visual indicator that you ...Show All

• nelson888 Sandcastle and <see cref="member"/>

  Hello All, I am having trouble using the XML comment <see cref="member"/> when using the Sandcastle CTP. When I compile to an .HXS file, I seem unable to reference anything apart from members of my own code. Taking the following code as an example, <see cref=”TestAppException”/> works fine in the compiled help file, but a reference to a .NET member like System.Exception using cref=”T:System.Exception”/> does not. The link to System.Exception is in bold type, but does not take me anywhere. Does anyone know why these types of references do not work /// <summary> /// Represents errors that occur during my test application execution. /// </summary> /// <remarks> /// This class ...Show All

• vijayshankark Drawbacks with "Add Service Reference"?

  Hey! I have built a contract(classlibrary) that my host(consol application) are hosting, then i have used the "Add Service Reference"(Orcas) on the client(winform) which will eliminate the need of manualy use svcutil.exe. It also generates a correct app.config file with the right adr and binding rightaway insted of demand a manual touch. 1. My question is, are there any drawbacks with "Add Service Reference" 2. Will the app.config be generated every time 3. Is it still prosible to use SvcConfigEditor.exe and SvcTraceViewer.exe to log message flow I am not sure I understand #1.

• eltorano How to enable Paging in RichTextBox

  Hi, I am trying to load an rtf document into the RichTextBox, but one I have loaded the document I want to be able to navigate the document by using Page numbers.

• Steve Harding Source code re-ordering?

  Hi, Does anyone know of a VS plugin (or standalone application for that matter) that will allow me to re-order source files Ideally (!) it would be nice to be able to analyze a given file, then reorder the source such that properties are listed first (order by access, then alphabetically), then methods (again, by access first then alphabetically) and so on (or by some other consistant approach) I think the editor itself does a great job of maintaing coding standards such as indentation etc, but being able to pretty up source files in this (or similar manner) with regards to program blocks would be really useful for those inherited messy sources (mine are all fine, honest!)

• brymer Need help developing a COM Add-in for Word(Office XP)

  Hi all, I created a "Shared Add-in" project in Visual Studio .NET 2005 and tried to develop a simple hello world COM add-in for Word. After created the project, it automatically generated another setup project and this is good. Then I added a reference to the Word Interop Assembly in the Add-in project and confirmed that the DLL file actually references to assembly in windows\assembly folder. Since I just want to make sure that Word can connect to this COM Add-in, I simply added a statement MsgBox("hello world.") to every event that appears in the default Connect class. Then I built both the add-in project and the setup project and right-clicked on the setup project and selected "Install" to install the add ...Show All

• xuding Problem with IVsHierarchy.SetProperty(), please help.

  Hi All, I am writing a VSPackage for providing source control operations on Solution and Projects in Visual Studio 2005. I did implement the interface IVsSccManager2 and the function GetSccGlyph() appears to work fine for files. I really want the function GetSccGlyph() to work for folders (directories) as well. I could not figure that out, so I decided to use the function IVsHierarchy.SetProperty(). Here is an example of how I am calling it - hierarchy.SetProperty(itemId, ( int ) __VSHPROPID .VSHPROPID_StateIconIndex, VsStateIcon .STATEICON_CHECKEDOUT ); itemId is the Item Id of folder. This function does not seem to do anything. I also followed the SetProperty() call by IVsSccProject2. SccGlyphChanged () . Same result. ...Show All

• harley_8006 Call was rejected by callee

  I'm running into a different problem as well here.  I'm getting this error message when I attempt to trigger a custom menu item added by a VSIP Package using the DTE automation. I have a regular winforms application that launches an instance of Visual Studio and gets the DTE object that it exposes through OLE Automation. I have a VSIP Package registered that is essentially a slightly modified ToolWindow that adds a menu to the View menu. I've noticed that the VSIP Package doesnt load up until the menu item is clicked, so as a quick work around, I want to trigger that window just to force the VSIP Package to load up. I'm doing that with DTE.ExecuteCommand("View.MyToolWindowVB"). When this is called, an exception is thrown indicati ...Show All
