Windows 10 UWP: How to Debug OnFileActivated Launch Failure
Today I am working on my Image Portray App, and I get my code blown up. The problem is, when the App is already started, it can open .ink file with double click from a file. But when the App is not launched, opening a .ink file to start the App will make it crash. As other UWP that supports file type association, I also use OnFileActivated event to launch my App. This kind of problem could not be …

VS2013 Plug-in Development: How Do I Obtain the Path of a Selected File in Solution Explorer
最近在爆个插件，有个需求就是能够在Solution Explorer中右键点击某个文件然后做一些下流的操作，那么首先就要想办法得到用户选择的文件或者文件们。肿么搞呢。研究了一下WebEssential的代码，总结了一下： 首先，你需要获得DTE2对象，貌似指的是你当前的VS实例。为了方便使用定义成一个静态属性，放到package类里面： 也就是继承Package类的那个类，比如public sealed class ForeverAlonePackage : Package private static DTE2 _dte; internal static DTE2 DTE { get { if (_dte == null) _dte = ServiceProvider.GlobalProvider.GetService(

How to move Microsoft Azure Application Insights
本文目前仅适用于国际版的Azure，国内版没有Application Insight服务，请注意。如果你还没有感受过Application Insight这个人类的最新希望，可以到大微软的Channel 9电视台学习一下：http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Application-Insights-for-Visual-Studio-Online 另外，本文所说的迁移方法不会保留Application Insight的历史数据，如果你看到这里就想喷：你TM在逗我？这叫什么迁移？ 。。。 那还是别往下看了。我的标题叫迁移，是因为我实在找不到别的词了。 如果你换了个Microsoft Azure的订阅，怎么迁移以往的ASP.NET, WP工程上面已经配置好的Application Insight呢？目前Azure Portal没有提供更改订阅的功能。所以我们只能在

图解：如何在Visual Studio 2013中连接中国版的Azure
VS2013的Server Explorer在第一次连接Azure的时候默认弹出的登录框只能登录国际版的Azure。但是国内很多屌丝没有国际版怎么办呢？其实国内世纪互联运营的windowsazure.cn也可以通过导入订阅的方式来连接。 1. 登录国内版Azure之后，访问这个地址，下载你的订阅文件：https://manage.windowsazure.cn/publishsettings/index 2. 在VS2013里打开Server Explorer，不管你有没有连接到国际版的Azure，这里操作方法都是一样的。在“Azure”上点右键，选择“Manage Subscriptions...” 3. 在弹出的对话框里，选择“Certificates”选项卡，然后点击“Import”按钮，把刚才下载的订阅文件导入。 4. 导入成功以后应该是这个样子的。 5. 接下来，你就能同 …

在IIS服务器上安装和配置Web Deploy (WS2008R2)
作为ASP.NET开发者，部署应用到测试或生产环境是家常便饭。不知道大家平时都是怎么部署网站的？手工拷贝文件？FTP？还是高端的package解压？对我来说，最方便的还是WebDeploy，它可以让我从Visual Studio中一键部署网站到IIS服务器，并且智能判断哪些文件是新增的，哪些是需要修改或删除的。Windows Azure Website就默认支持这样的部署方式。但我们不可能一直在公有云上做开发，如果我们想把这样方便的功能带到本地怎么办呢？ 经过开荒，我在Windows Server 2008 R2和Windows Server 2012 R2上都成功配置了Web Deploy。目前用的最多的还是WS2008R2，所以我就带大家来看看如何在这款系统上安装和配置Web Deploy。 首先，你需要在IIS上安装管理服务。 在Server Manager（服务器管理）里面，展开 …
