does anyone know what are the various parameters for VSCommands's Solution Badges feature? On the official site http://vscommands.squaredinfinity.com/Features-SolutionBadges they tell you everything BUT the most important thing and that is the list of available parameters (ie. {solutionFileName}, {sln:activeConfig}, {branchDirectoryName} and so on). Can't seem to be able to google them either. Am I missing something obvious here?
So it seems that pretty much all available parameters are already displayed with the default configuration (had to decompile and deobfuscate the extension to find out this information). What I was after was full solution path in the window's title bar. I solved the problem with this handy extension
Visual Studio Window Title Changer.

I am building a web browser with visual studio cefsharp. I have been struggling to find a way to find the url of a specific link (on an action like right-click or mouseover). In other words, when I right-click a link, I would like to store the url in a variable. I found this: http://magpcss.org/ceforum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=12635
Which I believe would solve my problem but am not sure how to use it. If anyone could explain this link or suggest a new solution, I would appreciate it.
Thank you.
I'm using CEF, not CefSharp. So I'll try to guess how it is going to work in CefSharp. When you right click anything in the browser the context menu shows up. There is a way to create a custom handler for the context menu. This tutorial has some details.
The 4th parameter of OnBeforeContextMenu is IContextMenuParams. If I understand your question correctly you are looking for LinkUrl property.
I am looking for free extension that has one simple functionality which is sidebar file navigation like is in SuperCharger or Resharper (see attached screenshots). Sadly both of them are paid :-( Does anyone have a good alternative?
Visual studio has Class View window for a quite a while.
You can try Productivity Power Tools, with it, you can:
Expand code files to navigate to its classes, expand classes to navigate to their members, and so on (C# and VB only)
Search your solution, all the way down to class members
Filter your solution or projects to see just opened files, unsaved files, and so on
View related information about classes and members (such as references or callers/callees for C#)
Preview images by hovering over them, or preview rich information by hovering over code items
We've also added support for multiple selection and drag & drop.

I know its an old question, but as i was looking for an alternative to supercharger // Resharper (for the navigation only) few days ago, and had looked on stack before doing my search (and as I found the answers not exactly what i was looking for) ...
After testing a few extensions I finally found a good alternative to those two paid solutions :
https://github.com/sboulema/CodeNav/blob/master/README.md
You can also just download it from the extensions menu , search for CodeNav .
Best.
Please see the .
Also, I am not too sure if it is related, but I use resharper and the font used in the Usages of '...' window (that shows the usages of a class, for instance) is as small as the one in the Help Viewer. I would like to change that as well. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a setting somewhere that controls both.
Thank you.
As you know, in Windows Phone SDK there are several styles that you can apply to textblocks.
For reference: MSDN
Since you can't always remember the full name of the style, is there an easy way to apply them? Do I really have to go to that link everytime I need to apply a new style?
IntelliSense is not helpful enough? I usually, write StaticResource text and then the list gets filtered with all the styles containing the "text" string. Kind of depends according to your needs. If you want to apply for font style, write "font" and see the list of suggestions.
Now, I'm not sure if my IntelliSense is as yours or is already enhanced by Resharper. If you haven't heard of it, take a look at it. You gotta hit CTRL+SPACE if the suggestion list isn't there, and it will get filled with possible matches. It's a nice productivity tool that does MUCH more and actually is not free but, I guess you could also get it crac... ahem :)
Other than this, I guess a quick bookmark to that web address, does that job pretty well. :)
The easiest way is to ensure you have the visual designer open while creating the view. You can right click on your TextBlock select Edit Style -> Apply Resource ->. From here you will see a long list of available styles to pick from.
I just found out that what I was looking for will be implemented in Visual Studio 2013!

I'm trying to learn TFSBuild 2010 and workflows and I found using the designer was very confusing. Then I realized from seeing screenshots of other peoples workflows, my designer is clearly messed up. Take a look at this:

Something is very strange here. As I click on each task the borders for that task show up but this can get extremely confusing when there is a lot going on.
Yes, your designer is messed up. Why? Dunno.
First thing I'd do is update your graphics card. WPF is sensitive to bad video drivers.
Second is to go to Tools-Options and check out the Workflow options. You can change the "theme" of the workflow there. Change the theme, restart it and see if that makes a difference. If it works, you can try going back to the other theme.
Lastly, I'd definitely open a Connect on this. Check for the link under the Help menu.
Could it be that the XAML file for your workflow has invalid markup and is corrupted? Does it look the same when you create a new/empty workflow?
I'd say that if its happening for all workflows, including new ones, then you probably should try posting on a Microsoft help forum like this one.
Can you show your XAML file? Seems that it has more to do with the rendering of the Rehoster.
