I have been trying to add a local .dll file to my project as I need some built in commands it has for my offline simulation connecting to a GPIB. The problem is I am missing the "Browse" tab to search for the .dll file to add.

Using node-notifier#7.0.0's SnoreToast on NodeJS v13.13.0, I am trying to create a Start Menu shortcut to use as appID for SnoreToast's notifications, I have a .BAT file that runs the command node "src\index.js", and I'm assigning this .BAT file as the target application of the SnoreToast shortcut as seen below:
"..\node_modules\node-notifier\vendor\snoreToast\snoreToast-x64.exe" -install "SomeAppName\SomeAppName" "c:\Users\Redacted\Desktop\proj\start.bat" "app.someappname"
The shortcut is successfully installed on the Start Menu in a folder named SomeAppName and the shortcut itself named SomeAppName aswell, and when I open the shortcut, it targets the correct start.bat file, but the start.bat is unable to fullfill it's purpose due to the shortcut opening it on C:/WINDOWS/System32 and ultimately wrongly targets C:/WINDOWS/System32/src/index.js, causing it to fail.
By manually editing the shortcut's "Start in" option on the Properties dialog in File Explorer to the correct path of my project (C:/Users/Redacted/Desktop/proj) and saving, it runs perfectly, but obviously I don't want to make my users have to manually do this work + the application should be portable and runnable anywhere it's stored on the FS, so how would I edit the "Start in" (aka Working Directory) of a SnoreToast shortcut on creation? I've already tried to Google it but all the results are unrelated and SnoreToast's documentation doesn't address this issue either.
A solution that does not require any additional npm packages would be preferred, but one that uses an npm package is acceptable aswell. All help is appreciated.
I"m trying to Create a sample data directory, using Android Studio, by clicking on app in the project view and then right mouse click to find the menu item New > Sample Data Directory.
It is not working.
Creating the directory via android studio doesn't always work. You may need to create the directory manually in your directory structure (at /app/sampledata/) without using Android Studio. Once you create it (e.g., via Windows Explorer) it should show up in Android Studio. See the the following answer for more information about sample data in general: How to put new placeholder resources into Android Studio project ("tools:sample" resources)?
"Unlike resources like images, fonts, etc. The sample data does not go in /res/ (they are not compiled with the app, hence. It is probably easier to filter them out by putting them in a totally separate directory). They go in /app/sampledata/, for example: /app/sampledata/image.png."
You can create a sample data directory in Android Studio itself by following the below steps:
Change the view of directory structure from Android to Project as follows
Right click app folder and select New->Directory
Finally, give a name to your directory, in your case, it should be sampledata
I have already created sampledata directory that's why it says "Directory already exists".
That's it. You have done it. Remember that Android Studio also supports loading sample data from a json file. All you have to give is fully qualified name of the key residing in the json file.
Ex- if your json file contains key name inside a Json Array student, then you have to specify it as "#sample/your_student_file.json/student/name" to use values present in key name.
Unless your issue happens to be different, this is a known issue that only affects Windows. As I've found, it has something to do with 'C:\' in the file path.

As Shawn mentioned, you need to manually create the directory.
I've been unable to get the images to actually display in the previewer, which I suspect may also be caused by the file path bug.
Inside the app folder in file explorer, You can create a new folder (sample data) which will be reflected in your android studio.
I have made a setup project using Visual Studio Installer. Now in this setup project I just want to have a custom dialog box which have one textbox and one button(BrowseButton), when I click this button a popup for selecting a folder in the target machine may appear.
In other words I want The "Browse For Folder button" or ""browser button" so that I may select any folder in the target machine. Once I select a folder the path should now come in the textbox. Because in the end I would like to save this path in the registry of the target machine.
I have Orca and I did tried to make this custom dialog using it but I am unable to do it.
There is only one browse dialog in those setups, and that's for the main application folder, so there isn't a way to do this. A custom action won't help because they all run after the files are installed.
I don't know why and where you need to browse to, but in most case there is a simple default location (such as an application data folder or a shared folder) that works fine. This really helps during upgrades when the upgrade install may need to do something with that variable location, and any apps will always know where it is. It's easier for the user too.
There are a handful of files in my project that do not auto publish with the rest of my project to IIS when there are changes. I have to manually right-click on those files and publish them individually.
I am pretty sure I have done something to cause this because it appears that all of the files that do this have a check-mark next to the file (see layout.cshtml in the image below). What have I done, and how can I fix it?
Set file Build Action to Content, right Mouse click on file and select Properties in Solution Explorer. Like this:
Just wondering if anyone knows how to set a saved publish profile as the default i.e. profile that's automatically loaded when I select publish. I love the new profile approach but I'm a bit over having to reselect the same profile over and over while I'm developing.
In VS2012 and up, you can set the Default Publish Profile by right-clicking on the .xml profile file and clicking the Set As Default Publish Profile option. It will then be auto-loaded when you click to Publish the project.
So I've just discovered how to do this, right click on the specific .xml file (e.g. Debug.publish.xml) that you wish to publish and it is automatically loaded into the Publish panel.
Double clicking the XML file also works
The latest Visual Studio 2012 Updates also now include right click options for:
1 - Set as default
2 - Publish
Rob, you may want to consider setting up some batch files that call SQLPackage to use your desired Publish profile. I blogged about it here: http://schottsql.blogspot.com/2012/11/ssdt-publishing-your-project.html
For our dev team, we have a set of batch files set up that can build one or all databases locally from whatever branch they're currently using. That makes it a lot easier to update the local database. The "Publish All" batch file takes a little time to run but is still better than opening each project individually to publish the databases.
Slightly odd issue: I renamed my .xml file to .localdev.xml....file name is "double extension'd" - VS/Datatools looks for ".publish.xml" NOT just the .xml file. In my case I needed "*.localdev.publish.xml". When it had the wrong name the "Set as Default Publish Profile" right click option DID NOT show up, nor did double-clicking...where is Molder when you need him?!?!? ;)
Get the name right, get the right functionality......MS needs better, more creative QA people!! ;)
