When I'm using Visual Studio, I can press the F1 function key when the cursor is on a method and the associated MSDN documentation for that method will be displayed. I'm currently developing an iPhone application using MonoDevelop/MonoTouch and it would be really useful to be able to do the same thing. Does MonoDevelop provide this functionality or do I need to use my browser to search for the SDK documentation? I've googled and the only reference I've found to this behaviour is to press Command-Quote which does nothing on my system. Is there an alternative that provides a better experience?
Yes, however the shortcut on Mac is Cmd-Opt-? (i.e. Cmd-Opt-Shift-/ on US keyboard). You can rebind it to another key if you want in the preferences dialog.

I was wondering what the current cross platform solution for a virtual Keyboard in the new MRTK v2 RC1 is? The old MRTK had the Unity built keyboard. The current keyboard examples only mentions the TouchScreenKeyboard class and I guess that's primarily for HL2. It definitely does not work when running Unity with the attached Mixed Reality Portal.
https://github.com/Microsoft/MixedRealityToolkit-Unity/blob/mrtk_release/Documentation/README_SystemKeyboard.md
You are correct -- MRTK RC1 does not include a built-in keyboard, but instead invokes Unity's TouchScreenKeyboard, which currently supports iOS, Android, and Windows UWP.
In Windows UWP, this will bring up the system keyboard on HoloLens 2 as well as in Windows Mixed Reality, when the project is compiled. For testing in editor, you will not see a system keyboard show up. For HoloLens 1, I have not yet tested whether TouchScreenKeyboard.Show brings up the system keyboard.
On Windows 8.1, if you right-click on the taskbar and point to Toolbars you can turn on Touch Keyboard, which makes a small image of a keyboard appear at the far right of the task bar just to the left of the notification area.
I want to develop an application that can make a presence here with a dynamically updating display of a time string (a count down application).
Can anyone advise if this is possible using C# .NET?
From various research I've discovered it is extremely difficult to determine exactly what Microsoft refer to this utility as. I have seen 'deskbar', 'deskband' and obviously it's under 'toolbars' in the task bar context menu. It also seems every major OS release changes the terminology and functionality completely. So bonus points if anyone can clear up what it's called on Windows 8.1 in addition to what term to research or MSDN article to read about developing an application that sits there.
I'm trying to install svnX 1.3.4dmg for iMac. It says “svnX” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. how can I do that. please help me with this.
These instructions are for OSX Yosemite, and may not apply to all versions of OSX. Let me know if you need directions for another version. Also, a warning to anyone attempting to do this with potentially unsafe software, please be sure the program you are installing is legitimate and safe prior to running the installer. See the article linked below for more information about this topic.
To override your security settings and open the app anyway:
1. In the Finder, locate the app you want to open.
2. Don’t use Launchpad to do this. Launchpad doesn’t allow you to access the shortcut menu.
3. Press the Control key, then click the app icon, then choose Open from the shortcut menu.
4. Click Open.
The app should then be saved as an exception to your security settings, and you can open it in the future by double-clicking it just as you can any registered app.

Is it possible to make the History window in Visual Studio to track the active selected item in the Source Control Explorer window?
Other source control software I have used have this option, and it makes it very easy to iterate through the files in a folder and see what has changed.
It doesn't do it out of the box, and I'm not aware of a plug-in that does that. In VS 2012 the team moved the History view to be in the editor document well rather than a tool window making this mode of working even less likely I'm afraid.
That said, I'll pass the feedback along to the team who make the TFVC provider. Being an Eclipse guy myself I am familiar with that mode of working and certainly find it useful at times.
I have imported a Visual Studio setup project (MSI / vdproj) into InstallShield Limited Edition (ISLE) and built a single setup.exe installer from it. In the "Shortcuts / Folders" page under "Configure the Target System" it shows that the shortcuts to my other projects' "Primary Output" are all Advertised shortcuts. I need non-advertised shortcuts.
I can right-click on the shortcut's containing folder and choose New Shortcut and point to an EXE that is not a project output and it will create it as a normal shortcut. If I do the same for one of the "Primary Output" targets from my projects it shows up as an advertised shortcut.
When I was using Visual Studio 2005's built-in Setup project to create an output MSI I would run a query against it to disable advertised shortcuts. I have read some opinions that the lack of control for this feature is one reason MS turned these installers over to third parties, but here I am with seemingly less control over the types of shortcuts that are created.
How can I force the shortcuts pointing to the "Primary Output" targets from my solution's other projects be non-advertised shortcuts?
Simplest way to make all advertised shortcuts non-advertised is to set the DISABLEADVERTISEDSHORTCUTS property. This is non-IS specific. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa368297%28v=vs.85%29.aspx).
You can set that property in the Property table, in a transform or on the command line at install time.
Otherwise, you can change the target column for each shortcut individually in the Shortcut table.
It appears that there isn't a way in the Limited Edition. I asked on their forum and received no answer and no one has answered here in over a month. I have just learned to live with the advertised shortcuts.
The answer appears to be either upgrade from Limited Edition to one that lets you manipulate the MSI further, or to use some other software.
InstallShield Limited Edition was designed (sadly IMHO) to match exactly the features that were in Setup and Deployment Projects. All shortcuts were previously advertised in the old tool so that's the way they are in the new tool.
Pick your tools wisely.
