• Visual C# Partial Classes and usercontrols

  Hi All, I’ve been looking into creating a partial class for a usercontrol but without luck. The ascx.cs class sees the method in the partial class and the partial class can see methods in the ascx.cs file (via intellisense) but when I do a build it says e.g. CallPartialMethod does not exist in the current context . I’ve added some quick sample code below to show what I mean. e.g. test.ascx // standard usercontrol …html & ...Show All

• Visual Studio Adding menus items (don't understand ProvideMenuResourceAttribute)

  I'm taking the normal ToolWindow sample and modifying it to start a new package. This package simply exposes menu items and nothing else. I modified all of the commands and guids and names and stuff and now I'm not seeing my menus showing up as I expected them to.
