Iv been looking all over the internet for an add-on or program to add to visual studio nothing.
My Question is is there any way at all to have a VIN barcode scanner in Visual studio 2010. Any sample code or tutorial will help greatly.
VIN numbers are in the Code39 barcode format. So you really just need hardware capable of scanning a barcode. A cheap USB barcode scanner is about 20USD.
Then in VS, you just create a simple form with a text box. When the text box has focus, scanning a bar code will result in the text represented by that bar code (in your case a VIN) to appear in the text box just as if you had typed it in.
Also, if you want to go the other direction and generate bar codes in Code39, MSDN has a nice sample in C# here.

I want to make a game in visual studio using C++ language and iGraphics. I have to move a character using a string. But I am facing problem using iShowImage().I take a String of some png file. When I run the program , it show only a white rectangle,not that image of the character.
Can anyone please help me for this problem?
Does anyone here happen to know if the flag that appears in the title bar of visual studio to alert users of new notifications (see the illustration below) is part of a font family (ie along the lines of wingdings) which gives it that blue roll over effect when one rolls one's mouse over it.
I have been experimenting with adding additional buttons to the Title Bar (I'm using Actipro's RibbonWindow and adjusting the WindowChrome) and I can see that using text with a certain style added will give the correct effect. Now I'm just trying to establish if the flag symbol that is used in visual studio is readily available and if so where. For example I know that using a capital o as the content of a button and setting the font to Wingdings will produce a flag, but not the one that Visual Studio uses.
No, it is a path. In VS 2015 it is defined as "F1M14,0L0,0 7,14 9,14 6,8 14,0 14,0z M11.586,1L5.293,7.293 4.94,7.645 1.618,1 11.586,1"
I'm learning both Java and C# right now. I started with Java first, back in august. The class I'm using uses BlueJ as a compiler. BlueJ has this cool color coding, where it's not just key words or such, the background changes based on what exactly you're typing in.
(Because I'm terrible at explaining things, it looks like this: http://imgur.com/HvhJUgY)
It's made it so easy on my eyes. Now that I've started coding in C#, my eyes can't seem to adjust back to not having the colors. I find myself getting lost in where an if statement begins and ends, and end up having to put ridiculous amounts of space and comments between code to help me follow it better. Does Visual studio have any options to do this, or do I just have to suck it up and learn to adjust?
The colour coding is in the Fonts and Colors options. To get there select Tools/Options. In the dialog, select Environment/Fonts and Colors. For the code, you can set the options in the text editor but you can do it for all the other windows in visual studio too.
Solution:
You can download an extension. In Visual studio code, click on the button that has four squares on the right hand side of the VS code's window. Then, in the search bar, search for "Bracket Pair Colorizer 2." This extension should aid your vision when looking at code. Here's an example
picture. Also, this extension is customizable, letting you add any color you'd like to resemble different types of lines of code.
Settings
To customize your extension, under the extension name you will find a settings dial, similar in shape to the windows settings logo. Click on that, and then click on "Extension settings". From there, you have access to many useful settings.

In Visual Studio 2010 we can Comment selected text via Ctrl+E,C - This prefixes selected lines with the double-slash.
Is there a way to select text and have VS2010 prefix the selected lines with a triple-slash?
For the curious; I am adding XML comments to my c# code. Specifically, I am adding example code within the <example><code></code></example> section of my comments. I'm am building the sample code in a throw-away console app (just to make sure I'm creating code that works). When satisfied with the sample code, I copy/paste it into my app that I'm adding XML Comments to. When I paste the sample code, I have to manually add all the triple-slashes. I'm getting kinda bored doing this, so I'm hoping there is a way I can have VS2010 do this for me.
There is no built-in command to do that, AFAIK.
However, you can do it using VS's built-in advanced text-editing features.
Hold down Alt, select a zero-width column of text at the beginning of the lines, then type ///. This will type into all of the lines simultaneously.
You can select that with the keyboard by pressing Home (as applicable), then repeatedly pressing Alt+Shift+↓.
I've got a lot of xml files, and embedded in some elements there are json serialized objects. They are quite difficult to read and modify. So question is:
Are there any Visual Studio addins availible that can take selected json-text in the editor, and visualize it (and maybe even allow for editing)?
if not, if I must build it - are there any good starting points or samples availible?
(making a right-click command availible when text is selected, and them showing a popup)
