James Finnigan : CodePlex

Flat Solution Explorer

Here's a great tool for folks that use Visual Studio with large projects - it gives you a flat view of all the files in your solution. Quick word-wheeling allows you to filter down to a set of files and get at exactly what you're interested in. It's now available for download up on its codeplex site.

RegNamespace sample up on codeplex

jamesfinnigan — Sat, 17 Feb 2007 00:07:45 GMT

Scott, Jerry, Thayn and I have whipped up a sample of indexing the registry, as well as a shell folder (namespace extension) for viewing it. It's great to be able to search the registry via the index and it's great sample of how to create a shellfolder, protocol handler, and even an IFilter. So head on over to the codeplex site and check out the source code, or if you're more interested in having it than seeing how it's build, just download the binaries and enjoy!

This is something that we're looking to improve over time, adding features and generally fleshing it out to be a rich, complete experience. We're not yet to feature parity with Regedit, but it won't be too long.

If you're interested in samples related to shell programming also check out shellrevealed.

WMI Folder - codeplex project

Well, I've put the WMI folder code up on codeplex. Please remember that this code is very much pre-alpha. I think that this will be a good way to share the code, allow others to contribute, etc. If it works well, then I will probably create codeplex projects for some of the other things that I'm putting together.

If you're interested in contributing, leave a comment here or via the codeplex project.
Happy new year!
James
