i want to write a macro or add-in in visual studio which will pop up a message above some words in the active document, just cant find the way. plz :D
I'm torn on whether or not to vote to close this as a duplicate, but you didn't specify the Visual Studio version. If 2010, it's been covered and this may help you. If 2008 (and I think the same was true for 2005, and the documentation goes back to 2003 as well), there seems to be a good bit of documentation on MSDN.

Oh no....
I just realized it, that the Visual Studio 2008 is getting me confused.
If we compared to the DreamWeaver later version... not the latest one, okay...
That DreavWeaver has a SPLIT View (in between the design and code).
And here, the Visual Studio 2008 also has that capability.
The difference is that... in Visual Studio 2008,
When the user start Clicking the Designer portion, the cursor on Code view doesn't get into focus. Yeah, meanwhile, in DreamWeaver, at the time user click on the designer portion, the mouse pointer is focusing into the code location accordingly....
Uh, oh.... this is getting me tired. Shall I update something into this Visual Studio 2008 version, guys? :(
use Visual Studio 2010 and be happy

What are people replacing the missing C++/CLI Intellisense in VS 2010 with?
I downloaded and installed Visual C++ 2010 Express, today. To my shock and horror, a variable's dot was not followed with anything, an error at the bottom status bar reading:
"Intellisense: Unavailable for C++/CLI"
So... that being the case, is there an alternative to Intellisense that I can find and use? Other stackoverflow questions addressed the possibly broken nature of Intellisense. From what I've read, though:
They suggest Visual Assist. Visual Assist's free trial, as I just downloaded, is not compatible with VC++ 2010 Express.
They talk about manipulating Visual C++ itself somehow, usually through the deleting of a .ncb file. Do any of you know where this file is located? If so, that's one answer I'm hoping for -- maybe it'll fix intellisense!
Thanks! Of course, feel free to chime in with any other ideas!
Yes, VS 2010 doesn't support C++/CLI Intellisense. The VS team promised it would come with an update, but I'm quite sure we won't see it. Too bad, C++/CLI is amazing for creating bridge classes between C++ and C#/VB/any other .NET managed laguage.
Visual Assist X indeed brings it back, but since VS Express editions don't support extensions, you have three options:
1) Live without Intellisense
2) Get VS Professional or better (if you are student, you can get it from MSDNAA for free)
3) Downgrade to Visual C++ 2008 Express
Just use Visual Studio 2008.
It's a simple matter of which feature you find more important. Pick only one:
Multiple monitor support
Intellisense for C++/CLI projects
Question
Where can I find a list of changes introduced to Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate RTM that were added since Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate RC?
In fact, I'm only interested in changes related to MS Test Manager 2010 and Coded UI Tests.
Where I have looked so far
I have
searched the Internet,
looked for a readme.txt in the installation folder,
looked into the Visual Studio help (F1) and
browsed the "What's new in Visual Studio 2010" section on MSDN.
No luck.
Found Scott Guthrie's blog post Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4 Released, but that's not exactly what I am looking for. It's not a changelog since VS2010RC.
I suppose there is no such file because they made too many changes to document and hand out to end users. But if there was, I'd be glad if someone could point me to it. Thanks.
I suppose actually there are no interesting changes except improving performance and fixing some bugs that are major enough to accept risk of changes. I think so because they actively refuse any change requests in Microsoft Connect and in blogs saying that product is already designed, developed and tested and now they are working only on performance.
Is there any place from where I can download the Visual Studio 2008 sample macros?
It turned out that the folder VSMacros80\Samples is empty on my station.
Thanks!
As far as I know, these aren't available online. (The closest thing I could find was the Visual Studio 2005 Automation Samples, but I don't think this will give you want you are looking for.)
Have you tried a "repair" install? That might add them again.
I know vs2008 express didn't. I'm hoping this will change with vs2010. Anyone know? Link me?
Edit:
Anyone have a primary source? While "As far as I know" answers can be helpful, in this case it still leaves a possibility - which is exactly where I started.
I don't know, but I would guess that it would not. Microsoft wants to make money, and supporting ad-ins is one of the biggest reasons to pony up the dough for the standard edition. Ad-in support alone can replace a lot of the stuff that you pay for, like SVN and other source control integration, test framework integration, resharper, etc.
I know this is an old question, but it came up on a search for "Visual Studio 2012 Express Add-ins".
Here is a quote from a post by Ryan Molden (MSFT) on the Visual Studio forums:
"Express does not support AddIns. The reason it has the extension manager is that it supports project/item templates."
My experience is that the same applies to Visual Studio 2012 Express.
As far as I know, the policy regarding Add-In's and Express editions has not changed.
