Comments with timestamp and author? - comments

When working in a large project with many authors it could be a nice feature if the IDE could record when and who is writing a ceratin comment. I would be enough if this information only was visible with a tooltip on the comment-text. Is there any add-on that could do this?
Im working with C# in VS2010.
Update:
A quick solution could of course be a macro that inserted my name and the current time a the current position.

Have your source control system add these values each time the file is checked in.

Unbind/unsynchronized scrolling in source control compare function

In compare option inside the source control, the scrolling is bind together for both files.
I want to scroll just one of the sides while the other stay pinned also I want to avoid comparing outside on the VS.
I can't find any solution online and there is no obvious option in the VS.

PowerPoint - how to run a macro automatically?

I'd like to run a macro that sets the zoom to 100%, something like Windows(1).View.Zoom = 100, every time ANY file is opened in PowerPoint. The files are already created, so using a template to set the zoom is not possible. How can I do this?
There isn't really a way (that I am aware of) to do this through a macro or powerpoint add-in. You might be able to do it using a custom web add-in but I don't have enough experience with that to provide an example.
After looking around there have been a few success stories. One of which is creating a custom UI element and then adding an onLoad hook to that.
Here is the thread.
Here is a link to the Custom UI Editor Tool However I had no luck in getting it to work. I believe (This is only my theory) that it is not compatible with the latest .NET framework.
If you do end up trying to do this, here is a link to the xml formatting documentation for UI elements. And a link to a little tutorial related to this.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. This should at least get you started. If anyone else has a simpler way I would love to know as well.

VSCODE -- has anyone figured out how to stop markdown preview from jumping to top of file?

When I work on documents, I like to toggle to markdown preview frequently (old habit from MS Word days) or have the preview shown in a split window. What I've found is that the preview does not track the location that is in view in the editor, so I have to scroll down every time I check. If working in split window mode, the preview does not keep up and thus I have to keep scrolling that to catch up. This makes what should be an amazing workflow a bit of an irritation and it gets old very quickly.
I am considering switching editors because of it. But before I do that, I am hoping that perhaps someone out there knows of a way to pin the markdown preview to the current file location (locked scrolling, plugin, etc.) Thanks!
*** EDIT:
Ended up not switching, but found a plugin called Instant Markdown that launches a web preview of your document and renders it in real time. While it too does not track location through auto-scroll, it is much more pleasant to work with I have found, since I can move it around, even on another monitor and can thus keep much more of the render in view at once. This is a partial answer to the issue and I am no longer actively seeking the auto-scroll technique since I much prefer this technique for WYSIWYG.
Unfortunately, according to this issue #5047, the feature you are requesting is still under development
In case you didn't switch editors yet, this feature milestone is set to January 2017, i.e. we can hope that it will be done soon

Create/Edit a Word Document from Visual Studio 2010

I have a word document with bookmarks in where text needs to be programatically inserted.
i used to (in vba) open a copy of this document, insert the text, print it, and close it.
Now Ive moved to VS2010 I cant get the code right.
I have imported the Microsoft.Office.Interop namespace but thats kind of where my knowledge falls down.
I think once i can get going i can figure it out its just getting the app to open the template.
Their doesnt seem to be much documentation on this and i would think this would come up fairly often.
any help you guys can give would be appreciated

XGantt ActiveX issue on Dynamics AX (2012)

I’m facing some issues with the Netronic XGantt ActiveX. My problem is that my ActiveX in the Form doesn’t seem to find the table I specified in the config panel.
I can't post a screenshot here since I'm new (I don't have 10 points) so this is a link to it.Configuration panel screenshot
I tried with a CSV file storing the nodes information, it works well.
Is the name SAG_GANTT_SOURCE_MODEL used properly? Knowing that I already created a table with this name and those fields in the screen capture.
Is there any further configuration elements I need to consider?
I can do as I wish following the classes some Dynamics AX projects (Gantt) uses but it seems to me that it’s too much work for implementing a simple component, isn’t it?
Since I can’t find any documentation/article/tutorial to use the XGantt ActiveX properly (except this one which I already saw http://community.dynamics.com/product/ax/axtechnical/b/axfortechies/archive/2010/05/28/activex-gantt-chart-control-in-dynamics-ax.aspx)
I’m wondering if you have any document, a link or a contact to help me with my issue.
Thanks for your attention.
Have you tried Netronic. I think they can generate a license file which you can import and this would enable the disgner of the control. Also they probably still have some pdf documents on thier website.
