I developed a VS 2008 add-in and added a custom menu item to context menu for "Project" nodes in Solution Explorer. This allows me to right-click any project in solution and perform a custom operation on that project. Or at least, it would, if I knew how to access the selected project from my Click event handler. Can someone with more ...
I'm deploying an Outlook 2007 add-in being created in Visual Studio 2008 using C#. I've created a function to extract text from a word document. The problem is that about 20% of the time, this will temporarily grab focus and give it to my addin. I sat and watched sysinternal's process explorer for about 10 minutes while my add-in wa...

My first experience with ASP.NET MVC and the Entity Framework has raised my interest in this framework and I would like to implement some basic applications, covering the basic requirements of real-world web applications. So far the support given by VS 2008 is already impressive. For some areas however, it might be a time saver to use ex...
Dear ladies and sirs. I love the Go to Reflector menu option installed by TD.NET. However, TD.NET is not free for commercial use and so I do not have it at work. I am wondering if there is another tool out there that does just that - allows to jump to Reflector from the source code in VS and which is totally free. I know it is possibl...
Hello, I need to install plugins (or add-ons) to an application we write. I user WiX for the installer of the application. A plugin is, in my mind, an optional part of the application. It needs to integrate into the file-system structure of the application, but it can also be added later, even by someone who does not have control over th...
We have an Office Addin that uses Sql CE with the usual DBConnection to a *.sdf in the filesystem ('C:/...etc...').

It...
I'm working on writing a WiX project to install a .Net Addin that is built for Microsoft POS 2009. During the development of the project, you had to run the command: AddinUtil.exe -PipelineRoot: {directory to the Addins folder for POS 2009} so that POS 2009 would recognize your Addin. Now that I'm getting ready to do the depl...

Now, I need to create a user guide (a set of webpages will suffice) defining what the functions do; their inputs and their outputs. Are there any tools that will help me do this? Has anyone seen any good examples recently, or shall I just mimic Excel Help? ...

Hi, The product I'm working on needs to be built in such a way that we have a quote engine driven by a pluggable framework. We are currently thinking of using MAF, so we can leverage separation of the host and addin interfaces for versioning. However, I'm concerned that we'd have lots of assemblies, it's likely that we'd have one for ...
