This blog will be moved to Mount Gellert. Please update your favorites. The new RSS URL is RSS. Feel free to continue reading me on my new place. There the amount of technical articles will be presumably higher than now

New branches of the main trunk has been released from the software ‘Mii’, named Branch A ‘Adam’ and Branch B ‘Thomas’. Feel free to poke around in the screenshot gallery!

If only I would have known this 3 years ago…

“As many of you must have observed that you can associate a custom tool with a project item using CustomTool property in properties window. 

So the question is how do you accomplish this, without any user interaction, for project items added via ‘Add New Item’ and ‘Add Existing Item’.

Very easy I say. In the registry, under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Generators\{package_guid}, you should make a subkey with name same as the extension for which you want a generator assigned automatically.  The extension should have a leading dot, e.g., “.xml”.  The default value of this key is the name of the generator you want to associate with .xml files, e.g., MSDataSetGenerator.”

I’m one of the last to report it, but BT06 is out, downloadable from MSDN Subscription.
Beside, Everett SP1 Beta has been postponed for tomorrow.
