I'm trying to create an add-in for SSMS 2008 and/or 2008 R2 but I've run into a problem straight away. I can get my add-in to work and on SSMS start-up get it to simply show a message box. However, after downloading various code-samples, when trying to reference Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.VSIntegration.ServiceCache I get a null ...

I've already done this for the WinForms and WebForms designer using IEventBindingService, but I want to do this in the C# code editor as well. When you type something like "txtNa...
I am writing a Visual Studio add-in in C# which will run while I am debugging a process in the same Visual Studio window and I need access to that the process' stack trace from within my add-in.

I have a combobox in a Word addin. The contents of the combobox are often long enough to drape over Word's Zoom slider-bar control. However, selecting an item directly over the zoom control (which is hidden from view) causes the zoom control to get focus, close the combobox, and change your zoom setting! The selection in the combobox is ...

I'm building an assembly that runs as an "add-on" to a vendor's Outlook add-in. When it is time for me to execute my "action", I have to put up a simple window with a few simple controls. The vendor's add-in provides me with the parent window's integer handle. I am able to put up a form pretty easily with WinForms by adding are refere...

I've a VS add-in that creates a toolbar and displays it (based on previous visibility settings) when VS launches. The add-in works fine in VS 2005 and 2008 but in 2010, the toolbar is only visible while VS is loading. Once VS has completed loading, the toolbar disappears. I can replicate the sample problem with the Alpha Blend code sa...

These menu items have custom images and I finally managed to have them displayed correctly using transparency masks. The only problem that still persists is, that the icons look really ugly and unprofessional, when the menu items are dis...
