Visual Studio Macro - Read First X Lines Instead Of Entire Document?
Jul 5, 2010
I've got a macro that updates a copyright header with the most recent edit date.
The problem I have is that the macro currently reads through the entire file rather than just the first 6 lines (which is all it needs).
Is there a way to get the Macro to only read the first "X" lines rather than the entire file?
Private selection As EnvDTE.TextSelection = DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection
Private Sub UpdateCopyrightHeader()
selection.StartOfDocument()
selection.EndOfDocument(True)
Dim content As String = selection.Text
Dim result = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(content, regex, "<lastedit>" & FormatDateTime(Date.Now, vbLongDate) & "</lastedit>")
selection.Delete()
selection.Collapse()
Dim ed As EditPoint = selection.TopPoint.CreateEditPoint()
ed.Insert(result)
End Sub

I am trying to write a macro that accesses an XML file external to the editor.
For some reason, I am getting error messages on everything within the System.XML namespace
'Type XmlDocument is not defined'
'Type XmlTextWriter is not defined'
'Type XmlElement is not defined'
( etc... etc... etc... )
I've imported the namespace at the top of the editing context within the macro IDE:
Imports System.XML
I have also tried to reference the namespace members with a complete namespace reference:
System.XML.XmlDocument
It didn't work. It is still being indicated as undefined.
I've tested the code from within a stand-alone console app, and it works fine.
From this, am I to conclude that the System.XML namespace is not accessible from the macro facility?
Is there another option?

how to make the formatting also apply to the ASP.NET server side tag <% %>
Like the related question, a block like this one
Good
<ul id="menu">
<li><%: Html.ActionLink("Home", "Index", "Home")%></li>
<li><%: Html.ActionLink("About", "About", "Home")%></li>
</ul>
Will get formatted into
Bad
<ul id="menu">
<li>
<%: Html.ActionLink("Home", "Index", "Home")%></li>
<li>
<%: Html.ActionLink("About", "About", "Home")%></li>
</ul>
I want to prevent Visual Studio from changing the formatting concerning asp.net server tag <% %>.

An example: I have a fairly simple "contact us" kind of HTML form. No controls, just straight HTML, total size of aspx file is 570 lines. There is a Country drop-down list, with roughly 240 lines of "<option value="..">..</option>, one for each country.
Say I need to change the indent of those option lines. I select all ~240 of them, hit TAB and.... wait.
and wait...
and wait...
Finally, VS recovers from whatever trauma I've inflicted upon it, having successfully indented the lines. We actually have other coders getting up with an audible sigh, and going to make coffee in frustration while this sort of thing happens. Just from changing the indent of a bunch of HTML. It also happens when doing a find & replace on that same selection of 240 option lines... huge pause!
Would something be wrong with our setup? Some options (HTML intellisense-related perhaps) which we can adjust so VS doesn't go catatonic when we simply want to change indent? I've resorted to pasting stuff into TextPad, doing the indenting/replacing/whatever, then pasting it back into VS. That can't be an industry standard practice, I can only assume something is off with our installs.
VS's reaction reminds me of Kylie from Fantastic Mr Fox. Select some HTML, hit TAB and...

I have an annoying problem with Visual Studio 2008.
When I run the "format code" command ("control+k, control+d") -- it will insert a carriage return. How do I get it to stop doing this?
For example:
<label for="shipCompanyName">Company Name:</label>
undesirably becomes
<label for="shipCompanyName">
Company Name:<label />

This is one thing that's long driven me nuts. Sometimes I want to search the entire project for some string, and about a billion matches occur in JavaScript files, making the search unusable. Is there a way to specify file types to include in the search?

One button I always had on the 'HTML Source Editing' toolbar was Format Document, as found in the Edit menu, however in VS2010 it isn't visible. If I go to add it, it doesn't exist in the options.The toolbar currently holds Format Selection, Decrease Indent, Increase Indent, Comment, Uncomment, Schema and accessibility.I bring up the Customize dialogue box (Add or Remove Buttons/Customize), then in the Commands tab I click Add Command... In the Add Command dialogue box, I choose Edit from the categories list on the right and yet in the commands list, Format Document isn't there anymore as it was in VS2008.Yes I could just use the Edit menu command, or even the keyboard shortcut, but that's too long-winded and the toolbar button is now sorely missed.Has this been somewhat arbitrarily removed from VS 2010 or is it hidden elsewhere?

I use the HTML editor in visual studio, if I have a document that is practically wide and I scroll to see what is there, when I click on the document with nothing there (white space) it scrolls back to the other side.

For years now, I always added the "Format Document" icon to my HTML Editing toolbar. It always was difficult to find this in VS2008 and VS2005. It seem it has been completely eliminated in VS2010.Does anyone have any idea where is might be in the Customize toolbar myriad of commands?I realize it is available under the Edit drop down menu as well as keyboard command Ctrl K, Ctrl D. But is is just so much more helpful to put it on the toolbar.

nfortunately, I can't get my breakpoints to work when in debug mode in Visual Studio 2008 (ASP.NET 3.5, Windows 7, IIS7). The website compiles and opens in debug mode, but the breakpoints themselves generate the following error message:"The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document."There are some recommended solutions online, but for various reasons, either they haven't applied or I haven't been able to make them work. I've been trying to find the solution for about 12 hours now, and I'm getting desperate.(Note 1: This problem is specific to this website. I do have other websites that I open in VS2008 where the breakpoints work fine.)(Note 2: There is only one website/project associated with this problem. This website does not have multiple projects.)
