I am developing a CAD software using C++/CLI .Net framework 3.5. The files are saved using serializing the objects. How do I provide facility to allow user view the jobs in Window Explorer folder (Like done by AutoCad), where by user gets a chance to look inside the file in explorer itself without opening the file in the software.
You need to create a preview handler. This MSDN sample shows how to build one. But this requires Windows XP or newer OS.

I am working on a VC++ development(Tools).
Our application is Dialog based application, which consisting of menus and operation with Access database with the help of SQL Queries.
One of the option from Menu is working in Windows 7 environment and the same is not responding in Windows 10(idle response after clicking that option from menu in Win10 OS).
we think that there is a dependency on dll.
How to find the dependency for specific operation while executing tool?
Expecting your support to find soln for this issue!!!

I have developed the extension for microsoft edge browser.Now i want to pack the extension so that i can publish it. But I have not found any information that how to pack the extension. Can anyone tell me how to pack it.?
Currently you can't.
For the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, we are intentionally starting with a small set of extensions. The list of extensions is locked - you can see the list at our extensions page here. We want to be mindful about what extensions are available on the platform and watch for telemetry and feedback and make sure the reliability, performance and functionality of the browser isn’t impacted by these new features. Extension developers can submit a request to https://aka.ms/extension-request to be considered for a future update.

Newly released steps for packaging an Edge extension are available here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platform/documentation/extensions/guides/packaging/
As Elad mentions, however, submitting to the Windows Store is still a process managed by Microsoft. Submitting a request to https://aka.ms/extension-request will get you added to the list for future consideration.
I believe you can use Visual Studio 2015 Community to do it (free download from Microsoft). I've been trying the same thing, but I'm using Windows 7 and it keeps crashing, so I don't know if it's possible from my OS (or even if publishing an "app" is the same as publishing an "extension").
Packaging Apps for Windows 10
I am new to installshield with VS2013 Community Edition. Just downloaded the Installshield Limited Edition to give a try. With this, I am able to create a setup file and able to sign the setup.
My questions are
Is there any limitations on using LE(limited Edition)?
How long I can use the LE. Any time limitation (trial period)?
Can I create a setup file and use it for production users? Will it cause any problem?
What is difference between LE and Express\premier\professtional Editions?
Thanks in advance.
Yes. There are quite a considerable amount of limitations in the limited edition. For an example.
The user cannot add additional dialog screens apart from the given by default.
Limitations when defining Custom Actions.
The user only can define banners and main image to setup.
All it can do is extract the given files, folder structures which are defined in the solution.
There is no harm providing a basic output setup using Install Shield Limited Edition.
There are no trial periods, user can continue using limited edition as long as they like. And can switch to professional, premium whenever they like.
The differences between limited and other versions is, that the user can define custom actions, get user inputs to dialogs and add custom dialogs to the setup wizard.
I suggest you to have this extension (https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/9abe329c-9bba-44a1-be59-0fbf6151054d), which is the same windows installer plug in that allows you to work with as you were working in Visual Studio 2010 deployment project type.
(update on 24-02-2017)
Or if you like a little action, I suggest you to use windows installer XML extension.
Hope this helps.
I have successfully created an ISLE setup for my C# WPF app. The app needs to create XML files on the user's hard drive.
These are placed in the AppDataFolder and everything works great in my testing.
However when I test the uninstall it leaves the AppDataFolder behind.
I googled on this and there seems to be scripting capabilities in the full edition but I do not want the full edition just to have my app's AppDataFolder removed on uninstall.
I would imagine that many apps need to create and read/write to an AppDataFolder so it only stands to reason that uninstall would remove these.
I have added the folder structure that my app creates dynamically to the Install Shield, "Application Files" under the [AppDataFolder] section of the Destination Computer treeview. This shows the identical folder structure that my app creates successfully on the users hard drive.
So is it me or is it ISLE?
Thanks!!!
I have an embedded device,its includes windows CE 6.0 Build 3112.I want to run silverlight application on this device.I downloaded silverlight application,when I want to install it says "Silverlight is not valid application windows CE"
so what can i do?
Thx.
In Addition to ctacke's answer. Not all Windows CE devices have to have any specific component and that includes Silverlight for Embedded Devices.
To check whether your device includes Silverlight For Embedded devices, you can check whether your \Windows folder contains the xamlruntime.dll file. If it does not contain the file, then your OEM did not include Silverlight in the image.
If you want to check out a simple Silverlight for Embedded devices application you can download the code from the following tutorial: Silverlight for Embedded Tutorial
THe issue you're seeing is that while it's called "Silverlight", Silverlight for Windows Embedded really isn't what most developers who know Silverlight would call Silverlight (in fact I wish they'd rename it).
While it does use XAML and that XAML can be created using Blend, the code itself has to be written in heavily templated C++. You can't take a compiled Silverlight binary from anything other platform and use it under CE.
