For no good reason, macros do not work any more in VS.NET 2003. If I
record a temp macro and try to run it, or try to run a macro in the
samples - nothing happens. I put a break point in any macro at the top,

I've been wrestling with this one for a while now.

like to have a "master status" dialog that updates as each build is
completed, so that the user can keep track of how far along the entire

I'm creating my VCProject by automation. I added the filters i wanted and the
associated files. Visual Studio puts a Tool by default in the
