How to hang Visual Studio <= 2013
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/15
Simple steps on how to hang visual studio:
- Debug a piece that throws an uncatched System.Net.WebException (probably works with many more kinds of exceptions)
- In the “WebException was unhandled by user code” pane, press “View Detail…”
- In the “View Detail” modal dialog, press the * key on your numeric keypad (this is the “Expand all” command for a TreeView)
This will get you a nice box (and no way to close Visual Studio except killing it from the task manager):
Microsoft Visual Studio is Busy
Microsoft Visual Studio is waiting for an internal operation to complete. If you regularly encouter this delay during normal usage, please report this problem to Microsoft.
There seems to be no bounds checking for the “Expand All” functionality.

Windows Explorer – copying path/name of files and folders (full/short; regular/UNC; unix/cygwin): Path Copy Copy – Home
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/11
This Explorer extension is brilliant: Path Copy Copy – Home.
It works in Windows XP and up (including 7, 8 .x, 20xx Server, etc).
The Open Source is done in Visual Studio with C++.

TFS/Visual Studio: View Pending Changes in Other Workspaces
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/01
For my reminder list: lots of people forget to checkin/undo changes in TFS of stuff automatically checked out by Visual Studio when investigating a problem in their program.
This shows how to view changes made by other users (always in other workspaces because they are not you).
You can do it from Visual Studio, of with the tf command line tool.

This page provides a few videos to help you get started with RemObjects C# for Android (and Java) development.
It is about Hydrogene, a.k.a. RemObjects C#, which – like Oxygene – also adds a few extensions to the C# language, just like Jolyon speculated december last year.
It wil be in beta tomorrow (:

Word 2007/2010/2013: Enabling the Word Developer Tab on the ribbon (via: Andrew Coates ::: MSFT – Site Home – MSDN Blogs)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/01/16
This is one of the things I tend to forget, as you do it once per machine, and the place to do it is not logical to me.
I mainly use it to quickly record a Macro (boy, I wish Office had a TemporaryMacro feature like Visual Studio had. Alas no more: Macro Recording/Playback has been removed in Visual Studio 2012).
The logical place for me would be to have a context-menu on the ribbon where you can enable the Developer tab.
Anyway, this is how to enable the Developer tab in Word 2007/2010/2013: Read the rest of this entry »

.NET/Visual Studio: The ContextSwitchDeadlock doesn’t necessarily mean your code has an issue.
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/01/07
Thanks Pedro! (emphasis below is mine)
The ContextSwitchDeadlock doesn’t necessarily mean your code has an issue, just that there is a potential.
If you go to Debug > Exceptions in the menu and expand the “Managed Debugging Assistants”, you will find ContextSwitchDeadlock is enabled.
If you disable this, VS will no longer warn you when items are taking a long time to process.
In some cases you may validly have a long-running operation.
It’s also helpful if you are debugging and have stopped on a line while this is processing – you don’t want it to complain before you’ve had a chance to dig into an issue.

Some things you have done for ages, are already phrased so nicely, the only thing you can do is quote.

Windows Development: Switching JIT debuggers (via: Stack Overflow)
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/12/03
StackOverflow user User Sertac Akyuz posted a small Delphi snippet showing how to switch the Windows JIT debugger.
I’ll need to complete it somewhere, but since the concept is interesting, here is his answer:
Write a simple application that would launch the debugger you want in case of an application crash.
Register your app in
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebugIn case of an 64bit OS, also to the following key
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebugadd/modify the string named Debugger with value:
"C:..\Win32\Debug\Project1.exe" %ld %ldA very simple application:
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject); begin ComboBox1.Items.Add('BDS 16'); ComboBox1.Items.Add('BDS 15'); ComboBox1.Items.Add('WinDbg'); ComboBox1.Items.Add('VS'); // etc.. ComboBox1.ItemIndex := 0; end; procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); var proc: THandle; begin Assert(ParamCount >= 2); proc := OpenProcess(SYNCHRONIZE, False, StrToInt(ParamStr(1))); case ComboBox1.ItemIndex of 0: ShellExecute(0, '', 'C:\..\RAD Studio\9.0\bin\bds.exe', PChar(Format('/attach:%s;%s', [ParamStr(1), ParamStr(2)])), '', SW_SHOWNORMAL); 1 : // etc.. 2: ShellExecute(0, '', 'C:\Program Files (x86)\..\windbg.exe', PChar(Format('-p %s -e %s -g', [ParamStr(1), ParamStr(2)])), '', SW_SHOWNORMAL); 3: ShellExecute(0, '', 'C:\Windows\system32\VSJitDebugger.exe', PChar(Format('-p %s -e %s', [ParamStr(1), ParamStr(2)])), '', SW_SHOWNORMAL); //.. end; if Bool(proc) then begin WaitForSingleObject(proc, INFINITE); Application.Terminate; end; end;
