Wednesday I installed Visual Studio 2010 Premium, and played a while with the WPF-based editor.
Annoying  thing: I could not select any of the controls on a WPF-Application-Form. Whenever I clicked on the TextBox, the Designer added a Border-Control.

Then I discovered, that the mouse-pointer was not at first position in the toolbox. So I rightclicked the toolbox, and chose “Reset Toolbox”. And there it was again: the mouse pointer at topmost position.

I do not know, why this happend, but now I can choose the controls on a form again.

One more nasty thing: Intellisense was disabled for C#. I had to turn it on manually …

Beim Setup von Visual Studio 2010 gibts leider keine Funktion mehr, um die Dokumentation zu installieren. Diese Funktion erledigt jetzt der Help Library Manager:HelpManager

Dieser kann entweder über das Startmenu (Visual Studio Tools) oder aus dem Hilfemenü vom Visual Studio gestartet werden.

Today I run into a strange error: In an .NET Windows Form I’m referencing a ConnectionString from Application Settings.
At 12:00 it worked.
Changed a line of code; recompiled; started over at 12:01.

The app came up with an error: “Unrecognized configuration settings UserSettings“, the debugger pointed me to the settings file.
Tried a lot. Searched the internet. Found the only working solution:

Navigate to your user’s application data folder, and delete all the config-files belonging to your app.

As a .NET Developer:
Ever tried to find out more information about your computer’s system?
Ever needed a list of connected USB-Devices, available Serial Ports or Printers?
Ever heard of WMI?
Did you know, it’s also supported by Mono?

There’s a free tool from Microsoft, which is of great help navigating through namespaces, classes and their properties called “WMI Code Creator“.
This tool offers the possibility to create C#, VB.Net & VBScript code.

WMICodeCreator

download here (it’s free!)

Ich arbeite gerade an einem Plugin für Enterprise Architect.

Mit Visual Studio 2008 und Vista Ultimate x64 lief alles reibungslos.

Gestern habe ich mir Win7  Ultimate x64 installiert, nun kam folgende Fehlermeldung:
“Microsoft (R) Visual Studio registry capture utility has stopped working”

Nach kurzer Recherche fand ich diesen Workaround.

1. Locate regcap.exe here: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\Deployment
 (Pfad für x64 Szsteme: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\Deployment)
2. Right click and select properties.
3. Select Compatibility tab
4. Check box to Run this program in compatibility mode.
5. Select Windows Vista SP2 in the OS drop-down.
6. Click Ok and Recompile.

Jump List: contains recently used files, if the app has a associated file type (e.g. Notepad)
notepad_tray_recentfiles_HOW

Thumbnail Previews: thumbnails of running apps; can be extended by e.g. buttons
preview

The new Taskbar may also be extended by Tasks. In former times, these commands where added as context-menu to the notifyicon in system tray.

The best thing: you can use these new API-functions directly in .NET 3.5 by downloading the Windows API Code Pack.

For more demos have a look at the following sites:
Microsoft
