The guideline feature doesn't work correctly when tabs are used for indentation.

Is anyone else experiencing a problem where non-pinned tabs do not display content in the editor?

Occasionally I open a new file by double click in soulution explorer. Tab is added to the editor, but no content is displayed. Specifcally none of the source code text is displayed, but some of the fold points are visible down the left side of window. If I PIN the tab, then the tab moves to group of pinned tabs and displays correctly. If I unpin the tab, it moves back and again does not display the contents. This is an intermittent problem. Occassionally closing some of the other open tabs fixes the problem and the newly opened TAB contents are displayed correctly.

Is there an ETA on the release that will allow me to turn off the whole line highlighting feature?

Great Stuff! Thanks.

Just one issue. On the add reference dialog, if you hit the Browse button, it shows up a nice dialog to select your DLLs from the file system. After you hit open on that dialog, you still have to hit 'Add' to make it add to the list. I alway forget that and just close the form, only to notice that it did not add my DLL, just brought it it's name. It would be great if it just added it at the same time.

Thanks again.

Having a really good conversation with Brian Harry about this topic and the challenges around Power Tools, Feature Packs, Power Packs, etc.

First of, really great tool set!

I just have one thing, that I don't know if you've considered. Being a Silverlight developer, I rely heavily on adding code files as links (Add as Link), because we, at my company, have a huge code base from before Silverlight, that add this way to our Silverlight library.

However, opening files from a project that originates from another project, changes how intellisense works, and I was thinking that the color encoding of the tabs should adapt the same behaviour, which is, being able to see from which project the file has been opened, and color it accordingly. I don't know what is possible though, but I just thought I'd bring it up, as it would be really helpful to be able see from the color encoding from which project you've opened the file.

Anyways, keep up the good work! :)

Best regards,

Johny Iversen

Love the tool, but had to uninstall it because the helper Colorized Parameters made the dialog unreadable with my color-scheme (black background) since it made all the non-colorized text white on a white background.

@Mike G. Unfortunately, the Project Properties didn't have the extensibility we needed to hook to pop up the new Add Reference dialog so you get the old one.

James - I would suggest checking whether you have the Visualization and Modeling Feature Pack installed, or only the Runtime. You can check whether you have this installed from Tools>Extension Manager, and making sure that you see the following items in the list:

- Visualization and Modeling Feature Pack

- Visualization and Modeling Feature Pack Runtime

The descriptions for the feature pack and runtime are available here:

Hope this helps,

Matt
