Visual Studio– would like to see some new features in the next version
Wed, 22 Sep 2010 08:33:11 GMT  
Yesterday evening I was sitting on my laptop and thought about what I like in Visual Studio and what I’m missing. Well, at all I’m very happy with Visual Studio, cannot remember any other development environment that is working as good as Visual Studio on Windows.Here are some features I’m missing or maybe didn’t find yet:Close documents automatically when not in use:I would like to have an automatic closing feature that will close files that are not used any more. I mean if you open documents just to see an implementation or some source code this document could be closed after 1 hour or a customizable duration. Some of you know the Windows desktop folder where not used links are placed running a wizard. Of course, documents that are checked out or changed should stay open.Find a file in solution explorer:I know that it is possible to enter a filename in solution explorer to find [..]

Quick thoughts on the Microsoft AJAX CDN
Wed, 16 Sep 2009 10:40:29 GMT  
Today reading onidunno.orgabout Microsoft AJAX CDN, something I was thinking about a bit, too:Scott“Red Shirt” Guthrieannounced todaythat the jQuery and the Microsoft AJAX scripts would be hosted on the Microsoft content delivery network (CDN)– which should speed up the initial loading of these script libraries and save you bandwidth, as you won’t have to host them any more. Being an untrusting soul, errr, security person, I thought I’d take a quick look at how its delivered.The scripts are hosted onhttp://ajax.microsoft.com/which presents the first problem– it’s a microsoft.com domain. When you do any serious browsing to the normal microsoft.com sites you’re going to get a cookie, for example if you login to view things that require Live authentication, or you register for an event or evena session ID. On my machine I have seven cookies that are sent to any microsoft.com [..]

IActiveScriptParse and x64
Fri, 19 Jun 2009 14:20:49 GMT  
Some days ago I had to work on an .NET application that has been ported from C++. This application is using VBScript as scripting host using the IActiveScriptParse interface. While the C++ compile was working fine on x64 the .NET port didn’t work.To understand why it is not working I had a look at the target platform settings in the .NET project. By default Visual Studio is usingAny CPU. The .NET runtime then will have a look at the PE header to identify if the assembly has been compiled withAny CPU,x86orx64.The IActiveScriptParse interface on x86 is mapped to IActiveScriptParse32 with the ClassID BB1A2AE2-A4F9-11cf-8F20-00805F2CD064. The easiest way to get itworking on x64 was to mark the assembly as x86. You can do this with the target platform property in your Visual Studio project or by using the corflags.exe:corflags.exe ConsoleApplication1.exe /32BIT+Well, the effect is that the [..]

How to fix German c:\Programme“Access denied”
Fri, 27 Feb 2009 18:29:05 GMT  
Some months ago I opened a Microsoft Support call to ask whyI cannot openc:\Programme(the German translated folder forc:\Program Files) on Windows Vista or Windows 7 Beta. When you typec:\Progon a German Vista machine you will get a drop down list containingc:\Programme. Use the arrow keys to select it and press enter. What you get is a access denied message.Another test I did was to openc:\Programme\Windows NT, and wow, this was working without any problem. But when I clicked in the address bar on theProgrammetab I got access denied, too.For those of you don’t understand what the problem is: on Windows XP Microsoft decided to use the translated name ofProgram Files. Some applications didn’t asked the OS for the program files folder and used instead hard codedc:\Programme. To get those applications running on Windows Vista Microsoft introduced the symbolic links. But here is the [..]
