It appears that the IDE is spawning cmd.exe in C:\
instead of the project directory that results in the cmd
shell unable to find the .bat file. [used FileMon from
SysInternals to track the file access]

If I have the VS.Net IDE open and I attempt to 'Tile Windows', the windows
will be arranged in a pattern for (n+1) windows, where 'n' is the number of
windows i really have open!
If I have the VS.Net IDE open, while using external help, and i attempt to

I've found a "feature" of the extensibility model that is driving me nuts.
In C# and J#, if you call CreateElementFromPoint from the filecodemodel and
ask for the class for the given point, the routine returns a function if the
point indicated is in a function. This seems pretty ...

Does anyone know how much the extensibility model will change in the Whidbey
release of Visual Studio? Are there bug fixes????

I need to retrieve a Project's class hierarchy tree, as in the Class
View window. What is the best way to do that?
I could achieve that by iterating through the CodeModel objects but
this solution is too slow for me because it retrieves also the

It seems to me that VS.NET does only see XSD (XML text editor IntelliSense)
if it is either included in the project or located in
Common7\Packages\schemas\xml\ directory.  I tried to use just a "blank
solution" to hold documents and XSDs and it does not work.  Anyway it is not

Since I haven't found any other way to do it, I bring the editor up for a
particular stored procedure by finding its corresponding UIHierachyItem in
Solution Explorer and invoking its default action method. But I can't figure out
how to get Solution Explorer to refresh its data, so ...

The AddFromTemplate statues that  you must use the complete path to add a
new project item.
But how I do know the path where the user has installed his .NET ?
What I try to do is to add a new Form ( in C# ).

When working with huge projects that contains vast amount
of files in VS.net, the class view or also known as
statement completion will sink down the IDE to a
unworkable level. I would like to disable the class view

I have  an Add-In developed with VS 2002. We would like to make it work with
VS 2003 also.
Is there any way to do that? Must we have not make to different versions? Is
it necessary to migrate it?

Is there a way to achieve this? Automatically? (that is, WITHOUT an Add-in
capturing the build event).
How can I associate a file extension with a default custom tool (i.e., NOT
through the property browser)?

I am wondering is it possible to set up tool tips for methods that I have written so that a description appears in code completion as it does for the system defined functions.
Does anyone know how to do this ?
Thanks

I created a VB.NET windows application which has no forms.  Please let me
know how to specify that the main in a module should be the execution
starting point instead of a form.
I also created the application as a console application, but a DOS window

I would like to see "Open" added to the context menu, so that when a
file is closed I don't have to find the file in the solution explorer.

Every time I start a new project such as a console or a winforms project, I get the following error popup message
"Dynamic link library (dll) initialization failed
I've un-installed and re-installed VS.NET and the Framework 1.1. three times and I still get the same error. Any ideas ...
