Is it possible to remove a built-in code snippet from VS 2012 so that it goes away forever and dies in a fire? The "remove" button is disabled in the Code Snippets Manager, but I was hoping maybe there'd be a resource file or registry entry or something that I'm missing.
The snippet in question: try.
When you select a snippet in Code Snippets Manager, the Location is listed in the text box above the list. You can select that location, and paste it into an Explorer Address bar and open the file location of the snippet. Just delete the offending snippet and you'll never see it again.

I have an icon in .ico format. I want to add it as a resource in my VC++ project. I want to set it as the main icon using wxWidgets.
I right click resources, and my choices are existing item and new item. If I select new item and .ico, it brings up a bitmap editor. That can't be right. So I select "existing item" and put foo.ico into the resources. But the following fails:
wxFrame::SetIcon(wxICON(foo));
I have tried various decorations, like foo.ico and wxBITMAP_TYPE_ICO_RESOURCE, yada yada, but I have yet to strike the perfect combination.
Edit: I found something on the net that says I need to create a new resource and add the foo.ico to that. I tried following the instructions, but no joy.
I managed to do it, but there must be a better way.
I copied a resource file, namely sample.rc, from the wxWidgets samples. I edited it in a text editor, replacing the icon name with foo.ico in a couple of places. I also commented-out an #include that referred to a wxWidget project directory. In Visual Studio, I added that file to the resources. In the MyFrame constructor in my program, I wrote,
SetIcon(wxICON(sample));
Very hackish, but it worked.
I am unable to see the folders that are physically existing, this is the case.
But in actual fact I have other folders as welll
So what can I do?
Above your the file directory view in Android Studio is a drop down which currently is most likely set to Android. Change it to Project and you should be able to see all your files.
I tried the all the approaches mentioned above but can't fix rather than fix it by a hardcore approach -
Step 1. Close your Android studio.
Step 2. Delete .gradle and .idea folder from your project directory.
Step 3. Open your project and you will see the files again.
go to View menu then click tool window then after click on project
view->toolwindow->project
it worked for me
for me doing the following works:
from menu go to: View--->tool windows ---> Project
then click the little gears icon (settings) you will see an option to change the empty middle packages. it looks like this:
disable "Hide Empty Middle Packages" under the Project View settings dropdown and then it should make everything show up.
If anyone ever does what I did maybe this will help:
Android Studio does not like it when module names begin with a number. I was learning from some tutorials and named the first module "1-name" and the next one "2-name". Setup was fine and it ran, but only the "Gradle" Scripts entry would show in the navigation window in "Android" mode.
i just installed visual studio 2010 and it is not opening any projects .I can make projects but i can not add any file in it and also it is not opening recent projects.
I am stuck here , kindly cooperate with me!
OK, sounds like the installaion got munged up.
first obvious questions: do you have any code that has actually been saved?
If "yes," copy that code to an alternate location, and use the simplest solution: use the Windows Control Panel to deinstall the MSVC instance and reinstall. If no code saved, just de-install and reinstall.
That's the obvious answer. You may also check the location for the project files, and the settings Visual Studios uses.
from the toolbar, click "tools".
From the drop-down list select "options"
Within the displayed list, scroll down to "projects and solutions"
expand that list (click on the little "+" box)
3 locations will be displayed.
Make sure you have write permission to all three locations
all the check boxes should be selected. Especially the one marked "save new projects when created"
click "OK" to accept the changes
I'm working in TFS with my team for project and the problem occurs when I'm trying to make new modeling project for my classes, it doesn't show up in pending changes.
So here is how I go:
First I enter my folder where I keep my classes. I've tried from there many combinations: I've tried first right-clicking on my folder and putting "check-out for edit" and then continued to * (see later); next I've tried clicking on .csproj of my classes so I activate my project when I'll be adding modeling project and then moved to *; last I tried to activate whole solution of our whole projects which is connecting them and then to moved to *.
None of it worked. (I was always having last version)
here is what I did next for all the possibilities:
I went to Architecture -> New diagram (named diagram and left create new project) -> Create (then windows shows up for creating new project in which folder and I always select my folder where I keep my classes).
After when that was done, I went to check to "pending changes" in Team Explorer, because there should be some available since I created already Modeling project. But there was none. Since I couldn't do it like that, the last solution how I made it was by right-clicking to Source-control Explorer on my project and going to Add items to folder and selected my project which was created locally where I wanted it to be created.
But, this last solution was giving me errors while trying to open my modeling project after. I know I should activate first modeling project, so I clicked to .modelproj and while clicking to it, it was giving me this "notice" or rather "warning":
The solution you have opened is under source control but not currently configured for integrated source control in Visual Studio. Would you like to bind this solution to source control now?
--
What am I doing wrong? Why solutions are not integrated by default while creating my project (my friends are doing it automatically, they don't need to right-click in Source Control Explorer to add item to be able to see pending changes)?
I hope I made myself understandable.
It looks like your solution binding is broken. Either click yes on the question to bind your solution to source control, this is information that must be stored in the solution file and while Visual Studio does see that the folder is mapped to source control, it also sees that your solution isn't (did you check the add solution to source control checkbox when you created it?)
Optionally try opening file -> Source Control -> (optionally) Advanced -> Manage Source Control. You can select project in your solution individually and then click the bind button on the toolbar to bind them to sourcecontrol manually.
I had a similar issue and, in my case, the solution was to right click on my project and choose Source Control->Go online. Apparently I must have somehow been switched to the offline mode.
I have successfully checked in files from source control explorer instead of solution explorer in this case. Then after that it has worked again
VIEW > Other Windows > Source Control Explorer
Other way to do it:
File--> Source Control --> Advance --> Change Source Control.
In the window displayed select all the projects you want to bind to the TFS
I had the same issue and solve it by clicking:
File -> Source Control -> Advanced -> Refresh Status
In VS2013+, you can check if your solution is online. In my case, due to VSO service outage, my solutions went offline. I had to open the solution, File > Source Control > Go Online.
when you change documents (ctrl+tab) on WPF (maybe others too) the focus always goes to the design pane.
So imagine - you edit XAML and want to copy an existing element from another existing document.
You are in Doc1 XAML type somethinng next you switch to Doc2 where you have been in XAML pane before.
Now the Designer of Doc2 gets the focus. Since I left the focus in XAML I use shift arrow to select some XAML text - instead the focused control is moved.
The same when you switch back.
VS 2012 simply doesn't remember in which pane (XAML / design) the focus has been.
This is really hard for me since I do this often - and now I have always to grab the mouse and switch back to XAML after changing the current document.
Any idea if this can be change? Or at least if there is a keyboard shortcut to swicht from one XAML to another.
Are you looking for Shift+ESC. This closes the current window that is in focus in Visual Studio Eg. Solution Explorer, Output Window, Immediate window, etc.
Doesn't pressing Shift+F7 help you?
I was getting so frustrated by this but I finally found a work around! If you have a pane collapsed then and only then shift+F7 seems to switch between the panes. The work around drawback is that you only get to view one pane (Designer or XAML) at a time. For some reason Shift+F7 doesn't work when in split view. Small caveat, I am in Visual Studio 2015. I suspect the behavior is the same for 2012. This answer may be more relevant to whomever comes across this knowing that it works for vs2015 though.
Hit Collapse View
Another thing that is important to note is how to ensure one pane is collapsed.
Visual studio seems to remember the last view you had the XAML designer in for that particular XAML file. You can change them per file and visual studio will remember or you can change the default mode a .xaml file will open in by going to (in visual-studio-2015) the tools menu item. Then click options, which opens the options window. Then click XAML Designer, which is the last option in pane on the left of options window. Then change the selected item in the combobox labeled Default Document View from Split View to Source View.
When I first changed the default I didn't think it worked; changing the default will not overwrite the settings saved for the last document view you were in for a particular file. The only way I found to have the default applied was to just wipe out my .suo file for the solution and close visual studio. Deleting the .suo file and closing and re-opening the solution didn't work. I had to delete the file and close visual studio, open visual studio back up, and reload the solution.
The .suo file is hiding in a hidden folder called ".vs" inside the solution folder. I initially just renamed it .suo.bak just in case something happened that I didn't like, but once I reloaded the solution and everything was fine I deleted it.
