I'm trying to force a ToolWindow into the right docking area without success using : windowFrame.SetFramePos(VSSETFRAMEPOS.SFP_fDockRight, ref viewGuid, 0, 0, 0, 0); But I found out on MSDN that SFP_fDockRight, SFP_fDockLeft and SFP_fDockRight are now obsolete. MSDN doesn't says what to use instead. I know we can use the registry t...

According to How the Runtime Locates Assemblies step 2 is Checking for Previously Referenced Assemblies. However, in the code below you can see that this is definitely not happening. In the first line, an assembly is loaded (which should make it a "previously referenced assembly" for all future calls.) However, a couple lines later wh...

I want to transcode a lot of audio from its source format to PCM without resampling or messing with the sample size. I figure if Windows Media Player can play the file and it doesn't use a legacy ACM codecs it must be using DirectSound to do so (this is on Windows XP and Windows Server 2k3). So is it possible to access DirectSound from C...
So I ran into a situation today where some production code was failing precisely because a method performed exactly as documented in MSDN. Shame on me for not reading the documentation. However, I'm still scratching my head as to why it behaves this way, even if "by design", since this behavior is exactly opposite what I would have exp...

I'm trying to figure out how much overlap there is between the different languages of the .NET framework, and what the real differences are. Is there an overlap of libraries/methods/functions...?

All: I have a service process, and I want to use performance counters to publish the average time that it takes to complete tasks. I am using the AverageTimer32 counter to do this. It's almost working the way I want, but not quite: When I increment the counter, it will briefly bump up to the value that I expect (watching in Performan...
I keep having this problem, solving it, and then when I implement new code it comes back again. It's driving me crazy! What I finally found was that if you instantiate a Window of any kind, even if you never call Show() or ShowDialog(), when you close your application, it will not terminate. So now I make sure to call Close() when app...
