Test from IMified



Found this sweet MSN-thingy that lets me write the blog entries as a conversation to a contact in MSN,
the contact said "enter a title" and "enter the content", (which is what I'm currently typing)..... I wonder how this will come out on the other end...

Visual Studio debugger trick

In order to show a custom string when viewing a custom object in the visual studio debugger,

you can attribute the class with
[[DebuggerDisplay("sometext")]]
if sometext includes "{parametername}" the value of the parameter with the given name (parametername in this case) will be shown at that point.

If you need more control than that, you can always build a custom debugger visualizer (google it)

Cannot Open the File: Mk:@MSITStore:C:\....

I was recently plagued by this message whenever  wanted to read .chm files. And since the only useful documentation published by the vendors of the CMS  I'm currently developing for is in .CHM files, it was getting to me quick.

Luckily Google prevailed yet again and gave me this result on my query:
http://techrepublic.com.com/5208-11183-0.html?forumID=89&threadID=191474


in which my solution  was found:

Open a CMD window, type the following on the command line:

regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\hhctrl.ocx
regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\itss.dll

You will receive a success message after each of these commands.


thank you "Perk" from Mölnlycke, SE, for making my day!
