I found this but this is not working for me.I added a reference and also tried to also copy it to this directory -\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Packages\Debugger\Visualizers
Has anyone tried using this or something similiar that helps me see the sql code generated by Linq query.I know I can use the profiler but I want something more easier and quick and this visualizer i thought would be the best... I am using vs2010 and .net 4.0 any ideas ?
Kindly visit the Q&A section in [http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/99468ece-689b-481c-868c-19e00e0a4e69]. There are steps to get this visualizer working.
Today i've released the WPF version of the visualizer where you can add/edit linq query parameters and also export the query results to Excel.
To learn more on how to use the tool kindly visit my website. Further there are few blogs like http://www.thinqlinq.com/Post.aspx/Title/LINQ-to-Entity-Visualizer explaining how to get it working.
Two main items to get it working are
Download to correct folder and using the properties window in Windows Explorer unblock to use internet downloaded files.
Add in devenv.exe.config file.
For WPF version you'll have two dlls.

I'm working on a Windows Application that has been around more than 20 years. It has a help file (.chm) that is built manually outside of the solution (i.e. not by Visual Studio or MSBuild) by compiling it in Microsoft HTML Help Workshop 1.4 from 1999. I would like to migrate this to the latest format such that it can be built as part of the release mode build process.
Is there a way to import the project (based on .hhp file) into a tool that builds the modern .mhsc-format help files? According to this Wikipedia article there was something called Microsoft Help 2 which was "the help engine used in Microsoft Visual Studio 2002/2003/2005/2008", which came after HTML Help Workshop and was succeeded by Microsoft Help Viewer, which was supported starting with Visual Studio 2010.
Preferably, there exits a way to migrate the .hhp/.chm project directly to Help Viewer, or maybe I have to download VS2010 and do it in two steps if indeed those two migrations are themselves supported. This stuff is so old it's hard to find relevant information on it. Thanks.
MS Help Viewer (.mshc) was difficult to manage at the time. It was made mainly for companies like Microsoft who code their help from a database.
You'll find some viewers and tools like MshcMigrate e.g. getting you from .CHM and .HxS -> .mshc.
There is no longer any need to purchase a mshcMigrate licence. The licence is free to use See also free key.
If you expect the users of your application to have internet access, another approach is to publish the help as HTML pages on a web server and link directly to those from your application.
Before migrating please note (for your existing workflow) the CHM Viewer is part of the Windows OS. A special viewer isn't required.
I've started trying out Xamarin lately and firstly I've noticed that Intellisense for .axml files was not working. I googled it and figured out that I should include some files in my schema set, but that didn't help. I actually found out that excluding (choosing "Automatic" or "Do not use this schema") all of the schemas helps.
But whenever I open another file in VS, or even switch from Source to Designer tab and back, the problem reoccurs, i.e. it goes back to
this. I am using Visual Studio Community 2015.
Has anyone else had trouble with this before or knows what I should do?
Thanks in advance!
I have a problem with my SSRS report when it runs from Dynamic ax 2012. I debugged it and I found out that the problem is with my SSRS report that I created in Visual Studio. I want to debug it there, but when I want to "Attach to process" I can't find ReportingServicesService.exe, because my Report Service is located on another server.
Please help me: what should I do to debug SSRS reports in Visual Studio?
I have SQL Server 2008, Visual Studio 2010, and ax 2012.
The problem is that I didn't write any code in my report: I just use a data provider in my report, but debugging the data provider code shows that the problem is in my report.
A way you can test your report is to create labels with the parameters values and othes, just to be sure that the filters or the calculated values are ok.
I'm afraid that what you seem to want is not possible: there is no way to set breakpoints in reports and debug them like you would a regular .NET app. You haven't specified what type of problem you're facing, but in general you'll have to resort to more basic "debugging" techniques:
In some cases binary search may be your best bet
If you have a clue on where the problem lies you may be able to debug that part seperately (say the data shown is incorrect, so you could debug the query seperately, in a different tool such as SSMS)
As mentioned by #Rednaxel you can use "printf-debugging" to check parameters, expressions, etc.
If you've narrowed down the problem but can't find a solution you can always ask a question about that problem here, of course.
I am using Sandcastle Help file builder (1.9.4.0), Sandcastle (2.7.0.0) and .NET Framework 4.0 assemblies to generate the Class reference for Visual Studio.
I have used Framework version is .NET 4.0.30319 and Help File Format is MSHelpViewer and Presentation Style is vs2005 in Sandcastle Help file builder. It is working fine in VS 2010 (Help viewer 1.1). It shows Script error in VS 2012 (Help Viewer 2.0).
Shall I need to change any settings to solve this issue?
I randomly get this error. There's a lot of stuff online that requires you to mess with the registry and such. A much easier solution I found somewhere is to go to select Manage Content icon, and then make some change to the Help contents that you have selected, for example Add in some help topic that is currently not in, or Remove some topic. Then click Update, and its usually fine after that!
Is there a way to copy the class diagram generated by the LINQ To SQL ORM in VS2008 without using print screen (yes, I know it's pathetic)?
For example, when I create database projects in Visual Studio I can copy the database diagrams and save them later in Paint.NET in any image format. Any idea or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Print as PDF works for me using Acrobat.
I don't think it's possible.
Cropper is a great alternative for PrintScreen
I don't think you can do this through Visual Studio. However a quick web search revealed the existence of a produce called Entity Developer Express that appears to provide this facility. It's free too.
