• Visual Studio When a VS Service Doesn't Exist

  I am developing a package and am new to VS Extensibility. I understand that communication between VS packages is done through services. I've been scouring the SDK documentation and it seems that the service I'm looking for doesn't provide the interfaces that I need. My question: Does this mean I must obtain interfaces through COM instances and interop namespaces Thank you. JJ Unless you are actually implementing a custom debug engine, Those interfaces will not be of much use to you. It would be better to retrieve the EnvDTE.Debugger and/or EnvDTE.Debugger2 interface. I'm not really sure if you can directly effect a change in the thread's instruction pointer though. I know you can do a SetNextStateme ...Show All

• Gadgets ActiveX for Sidebar best practices

  I am interested in further exploring the possibilities of using/developing an ActiveX object for use in a Sidebar gadget but havent done anything like this before. What are the best ways of proceeding with this Can i use Visual Studio 2005 to create an ActiveX object i tried using ATL project, i was able to compile it but not to register it Check and make sure you're selecting the basic ATL COM object option when setting up your project or adding an ATL object to it. The "IE" and "control test container" options you mention make me think that you instead selected an ATL UI control, which is a somewhat more complex animal that contains a number of interfaces used to interact with the UI ...Show All

I'm running into problems when trying to reverse engineer a class diagram for the web project... sometimes it gets as far as actually creating the .cd file and populating it (i can see it on the screen) but any attempt to save it or interrogate a class etc. normally results in a big red cross in the VS window, and sometimes a 'not enough resources' message - I'm running a pretty grunty machine, and I'm sure others have project much larger than this one... any ideas anyone else running into problems Hello I have not seen this before.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) CompositionTarget.Rendering and measuring frame rate

  Hi, I'm trying to create a small control that shows the frame rate of my WPF application. I know I can use WpfPerf for this, but I want something handy and built-in so I can measure this from anywhere. My understanding is that CompositionTarget.Rendering is an event that is called every time the window is actually rendered to the screen. My problem is that this event is firing faster than my eyes (and WpfPerf ) are telling me the window is being rendered. For example, I have a page with a lot of UIElements in it inside a ScrollViewer. According to WpfPerf, the frame rate is around 20 fps while scrolling. However, I'm seeing CompositionTarget.Rendering being fired around 60 times per second. So 2 questions: 1. Why is CompositionTarget.Ren ...Show All

• SQL Server Simple? Logging Question

  Can someone tell me the easiest way to view the collection returned by a ForEach Loop   (I'm tired of clicking OK for each object with a script task msg box I've been using.)   For example, using an SMO enumerator, I want to see the list of objects returned to make sure everything looks good before adding tasks inside the loop. A quick way to dump the collection to a text file or just watching the collection values in a debug window would be cool. Logging seems like the right track, but nothing I've tried has worked so far...   Simple solutions after all. Thanks. I was stuck on the idea of trying to use logging.

In fact, after spoofing my User Agent string from SeaMonkey to Firefox, Virtual Earth works perfectly in SeaMonkey. To me, it looks like the Virtual Earth site is simply blocking out any User Agent strings that don't ...Show All
