add-in

I want to "simulate" the Right click/Update service reference command in a VS2010 addin. I have a reference to the containing (Silverlight...) project, I know the name of the service reference and the url of the service. I've found this: http://dedjo.blogspot.com/2007/03/adding-web-references-to-your-vs.html , but it only works for asmx (it uses System.Web.Services instead of System.ServiceModel), not wcf. Is there any choice but call svcutil from code? if so, how? (do I use svcutil or slsvcutil? How do I call it from inside the addin?) thanks I believe the visual studio command for this is "

I am working on a project that involves making a dynamic link library, so I want to test it in a console app in Visual Studio. The DLL is also made in Visual Studio, it doesn't have much, just a few functions in it. I'm not sure if I'm just supposed to include the librarys header in the include directories panel in Properties , or do something else A lot of people say I'm supposed to add its corresponding .lib file in the Library or Reference directory, but I'm not sure that VS generates a .lib file alongside the DLL. I'm using VS 2015. I don't have VS in front of me this very moment, but

I used the "Add-In for Visual Studio" wizard to create a new Addin project and now, I'm trying to add some event handlers: public void OnConnection(object application, ext_ConnectMode connectMode, object addInInst, ref Array custom) { _applicationObject = (DTE2)application; _addInInstance = (AddIn)addInInst; _applicationObject.Events.BuildEvents.OnBuildBegin += BuildEvents_OnBuildBegin; _applicationObject.Events.BuildEvents.OnBuildDone += BuildEvents_OnBuildDone; _applicationObject.Events.SelectionEvents.OnChange += SelectionEvents_OnChange; _applicationObject.Events.DocumentEvents

Is there any built-in, add-in solution for visual studio to compare two files and display result with differences? I could't find one... I use WinMerge . Not as good as Beyond Compare but it's free and open source. Also check out Visual Studio Comparison Tools , it's a Visual Studio add-in that connects it to WinMerge. Here is an excellent post that describes integration of many 3rd party diff and merge tools into Visual Studio - including araxis, beyond compare, WinMerge and many others. The post is badly needed, since the command-line parameters that VS can supply aren't fully documented.

What ide is good for developing PyQt apps? I'm using the pydev extension to Eclipse for Python development. Snappy, works in Windows and Linux, pretty nice debugger (comparable to the Eclipse Java IDE debugger). The code completion is able to tie into the PyQt modules as well. If you're referring to writing .ui files, the Qt Designer that comes with PyQt is sufficient for layout of widgets, and pyuic4 will convert them to Python code for you (pyuic4 comes with PyQt). Eclipse PyDev I've found eric4 extremly powerful. It loads qt programs to do the standard stuff (qt-designer, qt-linguist) and

I would like to build a browser extension for IE 7/8. I would like to do it using .NET. Do you know of any resources or tutorials that I could reference to do this? I haven't found much. Thanks! JP, One of the main issues that makes IE extensions hard to develop is the need to develop with C, or .NET. On the other side, FF and Chrome use (to some extent) JS, which is easier, and has a much lower entrance barrier (How many C "web developers" do you know?). This is one of the issues / obstacle Crossrider is here to solve. You can create your first IE plugin within minutes. It will save you a lot
