Anyone know of any good resources for getting up and going with Visual Studio Extensibility (tutorials, etc.)? There seems to be little around the net as far as I can see. Or mayabe I'm just using the wrong keywords in Google. What I'm generally having trouble with, at the moment, is navigating through a solution and accessing code fi...
Hi, With "Just My Code" turned off and a source location/server, it's easy to step into functions that are not in your code. Is there a way to set a breakpoint on one of these, though? Basically I want to say "when this function is called from anywhere, break and show me the source". I tried the "set function breakpoint" and entering th...

I'm developing an SDK, and we have clients that are still coding with VC++ 6, while others use Visual Studio 2005 and others with 2008. Currently, we build several flavors of our SDK, where we build the exact same source code with each of those compilers. I want to find out if that is really necessary. Is it safe to build our SDK (whic...

Hello, I would like to know if there is a way to keep the session going. I've got sick of losing my session between rebuilds/builds, if I change too much in my project or submit code to our SVN (tortoise via VisualSVN). I'm developing an ASP.NET MVC project with lots of jQuery. I would like to do this as I test my project on one scree...
The project, I work on, consists of several executables which run in background and a frontend. I develop in Visual Studio 2005. Often I need to run one background app with breakpoints enabled and then control it from the frontend. I set the important background app as a startup project and press F5. Then I start the frontend and the oth...

The batch file uses the information in version.txt to inject the DLL with a version block using this tool. The version.txt is included in my project to make it easy to modify. It looks a bit like this: @set #Description="Ta...

I know all versions of VSS have many horror stories and I feel I will escape to a better source control mechanism someday but in the short term I am just trying to do a little cleanup and would like your advice on this issue: Objective - consolidate old VB6 source code in a "new" VSS 2005 database (currently all these old projects are c...
Hi, Does anybody know the "magic trick" for printing gray lines in an MFC/VS6 based application, using the PS_SOLID style? It works when printing to PDF, but I just get black lines when printing to my black/white laser printer. It also works with the PS_INSIDEFRAME style, but it seems strange to me that a normal PS_SOLID can't do gray...
I'm writing a macro to let me replace the spaces in a string in my code file with underscores. I've gotten as far as finding the beginning and end of the string as instances of VirtualPoint. Now I'm trying to select from the first VirtualPoint to the second. And I can't figure it out. I know the VirtualPoints are correct, because I'm...
In visual studio you can select a block of text by holding down <alt> when when selecting text with the mouse. This is very useful for selecting a column of data or text as opposed to the entire line. In Visual Studio 2003-2005 this operation could be performed by holding <alt><shift> in conjunction with the arrow keys but the keyboard ...

Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to insert the snippet from macro code. It seems like it'd be something like DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.InvokeSnippetFromShortcu...
It's been a while since I've created a new ASP.NET web application. (I've been doing ASP.NET MVC for the last 9 months, and hadn't done an ASP.NET site for about a year before that.) Now I've created a new regular ASP.NET app and when I look at the Default.aspx file, Visual Studio is only displaying the HTML tab in the Toolbox. I don't h...
