- Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) XAML IntelliSense Issue with VS 2005
Hello,
I have installed everything I can find on .Net 3 including the extensions. I am currently having issues with the XAML Intellisense not working. Not only will it not pick up my own project references eg xmlns:custom="clr-namespace:SDKSample;assembly=SDKSampleLibrary"
<custom: does not work. But also when I try to tap into TextBox.Text for the <Binding> It does not recognise it.
Have I missed something to install
Thanks,
Brett.

- Visual Studio Tools for Office Excel menu items not available in VS IDE
Context:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)
Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0.50727
Installed Edition: Professional
Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 77617-168-7076001-41239
Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office 77617-168-7076001-41239
Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office Second Edition 77617-168-7076001-41239
Security Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition - ENU (KB925674)
Problem:
This relates to the VS IDE itself, not my application. Previously, when developing a VSTO application for Excel, the Excel menu items would be integrated into the VS menubar.
Example: When the Excel workbook is the active window, a menu item "Microsoft Office Excel Tools" would appear under the VS "Tools" menu.
The problem is that the placeholder for the Excel Tools menu item is there, but it doesn't expand to anything when I mouse over it. Similary the "Edit" menu item is completely hosed and won't even open up at all.
Any ideas on how to fix, short of reinstalling

- Visual Studio Report Controls FoxPro guy needs some guidance with ReportViewer, a DataSet and ASP.NET 2.0
Hello. Thanks for taking the time to read my question, hopefully you can answer it.
I'm still pretty green to all of this, so forgive me if I'm asking simple questions.
I have a DataSet that contains a single table with some fields I'd like to display. I have this programmatically in the code behind of an ASP.NET webpage. (It came from a VFPOLEDB View)
I would like to display this in the ReportViewer somehow. I'm trying to figure out the right/best way to do this, and could really use some expert guidance on how to get it done. It seems fairly simple what I want to do, but everytime I try it, it ends in a cumbersome mess. Rather than burden this thread with how I haven't gotten it to work right, I was hoping someone could tell me what to read, where to look, or show me a good example of how to get it done. It would be much appreciated.
Thank You

- Windows Communication Foundation ("Indigo") Communication between applications in same machine.
Hi,
I have a requirement to pass massages between windows applications developed on .NET 3.0, deployed on the same machine. The requirements are
1. 2 way communication between the applications. App # 1 should pass a message to App # 2 and in return App # 1 should get back response.
2. App # 2 should send a message back to the caller App (in this case App # 1).
I was considering System.Diagnostics and win32 ShellExec. But recently i came across WCF. I was wondering if any one tried their hands in WCF for interprocess communication.
Can some one please let me know if WCF is a good fit for my requirement and also, if there are any samples to demostrate it, please let me know.
Note: I am planning to use WPF to develop the windows applications.
Thanks in advace.

- Visual Studio Tools for Office Excel Crash
Hi,
I had built a complete solution using VSTO 2005 and Excel 2003.
I had it working for last 2 weeks.
Today, when i was doing Excel crashed and just cannot get my code behind to work since then.
I am not able to click any buttons, or click the drop down of combo box nor debug the application.
Always the excel shows up, but none of my code-behind is working.
I have installed VSTO 2005 and Office 2003 since then on my machine. Still no luck.
I tried a simple project with Word, it works.
Even a simple excel project with a message box behind a button won't work.
How to verify if my installation is good
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

- Visual Studio WPF Designer Custom controls in Cider?
Does Orcas currently support custom controls (user-built classes deriving from Control) If so, I'll try stripping my development project down to basics to see if I can get my custom controls working in orcas again. The custom controls I do have are fairly complicated right now. But it would be worth it for me if I can get them working.
Most of the xaml pages I'm using custom controls in don't seem to recognize the xmlns references I'm using.
Is there a way to specify xmlns references in a way that Orcas likes Will external/signed assemblies help

- Developer Documentation and Help System Documenting the Documenter
I notice that Sandcastle ships without any documentation. I followed the links that promised to answer frequently-asked questions and questions and hints and tips. The questions were obviously being asked by people who had been using Sandcastle and had some kind of detailed question about some operational point or another. How did they find out how to start using it enough to ask a question about features
But I can't even get started. There are three executables in the download: BuildAssembler, MRefBuilder, and XslTransform. When I run MRefBuilder on my assembly, all I get is an XML file. But if that's all I want, I can get an XML file from Visual Studio by throwing the /doc switch.
When I run BuildAssembler, I get a message: "Error: The specified configuration file could not be loaded. The error message is: "Could not find file 'C:\Program Files\Sandcastle\ProductionTools\BuildAssembler.exe.config'." Well, that does not help me run the program because I don't have a configuration file, I don't know how to make a configuration file, and no configuration file was installed with SandCastle.
XslTransform apparently wants an XML file and an XSL transform file. Is that supposed to be the output of MRefBuilder and some as yet unidentified transform file One does not know because nobody thinks it necessary to explain. Do I have to write my own XSL transform file Probably not.
But the point is: none of the questions in the FAQ ask how to run the program, and none of the links on the installation page point to anything but broken wikis and FAQs for more advanced users. How does one get started

- Developer Documentation and Help System Underwhelmed by Sandcastle
I've noticed that the feedback on Sandcastle has been generally positive. Maybe I'm in a minority of one, but I felt I had to get this off my chest.
<rant>
Having initially dismissed the first Sandcastle release as immature, I've come back several months later to try out the December CTP.
My requirements are, I believe, simple and mainstream. I want to generate documentation for a product consisting of a few class libraries and integrate it with VS2005 help. The document should be generated automatically as part of the build process.
With .NET 1.1 and VS2003, this was easy to do with a batch file that calls NDocConsole, which in turn generates a configuration file for the easy-to-use H2Reg utility. I can then call H2Reg in a Custom Action of my product's Setup project.
Months after the first CTP, Sandcastle still seems to be just a bag of miscellaneous bits, despite the valiant efforts of various people in the community to create scripts and tools.
Some of the many problems that jumped out when I tried to use the December CTP for the first time:
1. It's as slow as molasses (compared with NDoc).
2. MrefBuilder failed because it was unable to find a dependent assembly System.Configuration.dll!!!!! Yes I can work around this by painstakingly adding every dependency to the command line, but surely it should be able to find:
a) All .NET 2.0 Framework assemblies (duh!)
b) All assemblies that are in the same folder as any of the target assemblies.
c) All assemblies in paths referenced by the AssemblyFolders/AssemblyFoldersEx registry keys used by VS2005.
3. In the above case, no types from System.Configuration were exposed publicly by my assemblies, so System.Configuration was not needed to generate the documentation. Given that performance is a problem, why is MRefBuilder wasting time looking at assemblies it doesn't need
4. The output HTML does not look right. Just one small example: the code in an <example> tag was rendered with line numbers - so that when I copy and paste the example, I have to manually remove the line numbers.
5. The documentation for the product is woeful. I need to wade through this forum, a Wiki that contains mostly outdated information, and various blogs to try to work out how to use it. There is no authoritative documentation that matches the latest release.
6. What crowned it all for me was when I found out that BuildAssembler is trying to contact a Web Service in order to generate links to documentation for standard framework types. In my corporate environment, this failed to get through the proxy. How can this be a sensible way to generate documentation Even in the best case, what QoS is guaranteed by the Web Service Will the web service choke when everyone's overnight build process tries to contact it at the same time
I have zero interest in messing about with the XSLT or CSS files supplied with Sandcastle and just want a product that generates standard VS2005-style documentation out of the box.
I understand from the Sandcastle blog that Sandcastle originates from the tools Microsoft use to build their own documentation. Given that the task of documenting the .NET Framework is hugely different from the simple documentation requirements of most developers, I wonder whether this was the right starting point.
I miss NDoc badly and think Microsoft needs to reassess what they are doing with Sandcastle. Microsoft used to be known for software that was easy to use - make the simple things simple and the hard things possible. They need to get back to this mindset .
</rant>
Thank you for listening.

I am writing an add-in for Microsoft Project, and I need a callback to be invoked upon the completion of a project being opened and loaded. Does COM expose such an event

- Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Another question about localizationHi,
Is there a way to change culture on the fly so that all the UI elements would be updated accordingly I tried modifying Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture and Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture, but it does not have any effect once the UI is displayed (as opposed to including this code in the application constructor).
And another question, does WPF change the flow direction automatically according to the set culture or should I set it manually for each Window/Page I tried setting the current culture to arabic, but that didn't effect the flow direction. Are there more settings to tweak
Many thanks in advance.

- Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Media Element Formats and Player
My question relates to the video format and media player in WPF. In previous frameworks, while mostly used, Direct3D was used to play videos in specific formats such as AVI or WMV. While this may work in the new framework, it is under my impression that the WPF Media element only works with WMV. Plus, in order to play the media element itself the user must have windows media player installed in order to play (version 10 or 11). When I have used the Media element it only sometimes works while loading wmv files without any other codecs necessary. Is this an issue with WPF in general, or am I have I missed something here

I need to make a TabControl with picture and text on the tab header. The picture and the text should change on click so the focus tab to be with another picture and the text with another color. The code below does change the bitmap. but i can't figure out how to change the font color.

I had VS .NET 2003 Professional installed on my machine (XP professional) and also Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition. Both work and i was able to create projects but after a few days both stopped working.
I alway get 'MWDExpress Enviromenment is busy' when i try to access a project or try to create a new one in Web developer. I uninstalled Web Developer and re-installed it but it still didnt work. Always getting the same message.
So I tried to uninstall VS .NET 2003 but unable to do so. I tried doing manually as well but it hangs (just freezes) and does not proceed any further. what should I do any ideas How can I uninstall VS .NET 2003 and then re-install it At the moment I can't do anything (Uninstall/reinstall/repair). Either the setup is faling or hanging up (Non responsive). I tried From Add/Remove, then from the CD and also manual but nothing worked.

- Visual Studio Setup and Installation Visual studio SP1 crashes the whole systemThe same problem when installation fails due to insuficient disk space - all .net apps does not work. The whole service pack is *** - Why Microsoft could not make a better installer - it gives all kinds of errors, you wait 2 hours to make the instalation and if something goes wrong you have to reinstall the whole system. The Visual Studio itself installs for less time. Now I have to reinstall the whole system because I don't have the time to wait for solution. I think there should be service pack for the servoce pack :)

- Visual Studio Extensibility Cross project code generation
Hi,
I'm very new to actually working with DSL and software factories, so the questions can seem a bit dumb.
Here it goes:
- If I create a new DSL and an acommpanying custom tool, I can generate code by walking over the diagram. Is there a way that the generated code can be split accross existing projects in a Visual Studio 2005 solution
- Would referencing artefacts that belong to other projects in a diagram (e.g. a diagram in a data access layer project has a reference to a business component in another project) be a good and allowable practice
That's it for now
Any help or feedback is highly appreciated.

- Visual Studio Tools for Office Adding charts in Word without Excel popping up
Hi,
What is the best way to programatically add a chart to word, without userinput. Im trying to write a function in Visual Studio that pulls some data and creates charts from it in word. I managed to add a chart but whenever i do, it opens up excel for specifying the series data, wich i dont want. I simply want to fill the data and formatting options trough code without the user ever noticing it. Should i create an instance of excel and fill/format my chart in there and when im done, copy it to word
Regards, Jape.
Dim Ishape As Word.InlineShape
Dim ImpRange As Word.Range = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.Selection.Range
Ishape = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveDocument.InlineShapes.AddChart(Microsoft.Office.Core.XlChartType.xlBarStacked, impRange)
