• Visual Studio Extensibility: how to write an add-in for VS2005

  I do not know if this is the right forum for this. How do I even begin my first steps to write a visual studio 2005 add-in Is there a sample example somewhere.

I want to basically add a new menu item to the context menu in the solution explorer and when the user clicks on it, I need to create a new window which gets filled in with stuff based on the project selected. Then based on what the user selects, I want to start Visual studio debugging session with certain arguments. I looked at the ...Show All

• SQL Server Exporting Data from Database to a csv file

  Hi, How do I export data from my database table into a Comma separated value file format. I am using SQL Server 2005 with vb.net Thanks It would use the SQL Server Import / Export wizard , it is more comfortable than the BCP command, although in some cases like automatic commandline export thats the only choice.

• .NET Development Remoting Singletons vs True Singletons

  We have a remoting service which provides singleton access to a collection of remote objects. These objects also need to be able to interact with each other and must be singletons in both the internal and the remote case. The issue we're having is that this leads to two instances of the object being created - one through the remote interface and another for internal calls. Is there a way to force the remoting service to use the instances already defined on the objects, or do we have to have each class in the same assembly remoting to each other in order to ensure there's only one instance i have the same se ...Show All

How can I do this without letting the client referencing to the original "Tag"-class at the service-side The class 'Tag' and all the related class must be serializable.

• SQL Server Datatype conversion strangeness

  Hi all, After more headbanging and cursing than an entire Metallica audience, I have finally deduced how to store and calculate the values of a stack storing RPN calculations using a recursive stored procedure. But there is a new conundrum. Originally, to test the above, I was using fairly simple values -- 10, 20, +, 3, /, etc. But the real data is likely to include values with at least a couple of decimal places -- these have been configured using the money data type. Nevertheless, in my actual stack table the value needs to be specified as a varchar. However, as soon as I start sending in 0.68 as a varchar to my stored procedure, it gives ...Show All
