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.

We have a website that heavily uses Kendo controls, which makes it hard to know how the page will look after rendering. I want to use the "web live preview" extension to visual studio, however i have an issue. When the page opens, says in the bottom right corner "building tree" or something along those lines and never actually finishes. Is there a trick to get it to work with Kendo? I tried it because i got an email from them suggesting we do it.
Any ideas?
I'm guessing the message you're seeing is "Generating Logical Tree...". The extension is still in Preview, so there's several things that could be the cause of that, but we would like to work with you to try to address them. If you could file an issue on Developer Community, and include any errors messages you see from your browser's console (make sure to include Verbose messages), we can try to dig in. Also keep a look out for updated versions of the extension (it should automatically update) as we're steadily fixing bugs.
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.
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.
The problem: In VS2010, I have a form with a broken design view. It's breaking on a couple of Atalasoft imageviewer controls.
The weirdness: Took me some time to figure this out, but if I go into the forms designer.vb file, and comment out everything regarding these controls, save, uncomment, and save again, the form design view loads perfect. NOTE: I'm not changing anything. Just commenting/uncommenting portions of the designer and saving.
The form design view continues to work fine until I do any of the following:
close the form design view and the designer.vb file and try to view again.
close the solution and reopen.
After doing either of these things, it's back to square one and I have to comment/uncomment/save to view the form designer again.
I'm on Win7, 64 bit. I have worked on this app in the past with no issue. The app builds and runs just fine. It's just a VS form design view issue, and I'm flummoxed.
I'd love to hear any thoughts on how I can solve this. If I can provide any more specific info, please let me know.
I've seen this happen rarely, when something odd gets into the designer file for a form and the designer can't figure out how to display things anymore. A third-party control being part of it could be indicative of some bug with that control's designer-related code.
One thing to try might be re-creating the form in question from scratch, and see if that fixes it. Perhaps something inadvertently got fubared. Also see if there is anything out there with others having designer problems with the same control(s) in question.
Sorry can't offer more direct help; maybe someone else has experienced something more closely related.
I'm using VS.net 2010 ASP.net C# 4.0 and I've got many pages who use the same Masterpage. But for some reasons I didn't find for now, some pages never display in design mode of Visual Studio. Instead of seeing my designed page, I only see a Gray Square where we can read
Error creating control - ContentPlaceHolder1
Request is not available in this context.
Anyone know a reason and/or a way to resolve this?
Must tell that there's no errors in my whole solution and I can start debbuging normaly.
Note : I usualy talk french so feel free to tell me if there's something that wasn't clear!
Not sure but this post looks like the same issue you are facing. Take a look. Hope this helps.
