Visual Studio provides very powerful capabilities for us to extend its functional using various technologies and approaches. You can both automate routine actions using simplest macros and carry out a deep integration of any third-party or your own user components. In fact, while extending Visual Studio, you are limited only by your own imagination, so you can realize such eccentric solutions as integration of your favorite Instant Messenger client into the project window, or even an "achievements for developers" ( http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/bc7a433b-b594-48d4-bba2-a2f24774d02f ) system like in videogames! After all, any serious developer must know and be able to adjust the development environment to his/her own needs, as well as be able to handle its possible "glitches". At the same time, creating extensions is nowadays simple and transparent as never before, regardless of your previous experience of working with Visual Studio! You can both integrate a native library module that will be able to directly handle the low-level COM interfaces of the API environment, and a managed build that will have an access to almost all of these APIs through convenient managed wraps. While the native unit will surely provide the developer with the absolute control over the situation, using managed builds for extensions will help you get rid of a very complicated process of calculating the number of COM-objects instances and direct memory handling, allowing you to focus on implementing the functionality you need with all the power .NET Framework and Common Language Runtime can provide. If you've got interested in the subject of extending Visual Studio, you can try it right now starting with 3 simple steps described in this article. This guide will allow you to create a completely functional managed extension module for all the Visual Studio versions literally within 10 minutes and start using your functional at once, while the rest articles of this series

The ReactOS project is rapidly developing. One of the developers participating in this project suggested that we re-analyzed the source code, as the code base is growing fast. We were glad to do that. We like this project, and we'll be happy if this article helps the developers to eliminate some bugs. Analysis was performed with the PVS-Studio 5.02 code analyzer.

With increasing demand of expressing uniquely and objectively over the period of years humans have evolved over the passage of time. Increase of hunger to provide more efficient answers to the developing problems of the world computers have evolved from calculators to inference engine to computational machines. Software are that part of computer which involve communication

Following the evolution of this business from embryonic to mature, the chapters develop a kin group approach that depends on watching the arena within the manner that one may contemplate a clan. The principles of this kin group analysis alter them to draw attention to the dynamics of business evolution, whereas relating Page two of three the results of the parent companies' initial conditions to their various company genealogies and learning potential. The text suggests that kin group evolution may be a key mechanism for understanding the speed and extent of commencement new organizations, such as factors like chance structures, capabilities, and geographic clusters

In this article, I've collected a huge amount of links all of which could prove potentially useful to software developers who are getting acquainted with 64-bit world. In general, we will cover C/C++ languages, but I am sure, that developers from other languages will discover a lot of interesting stuff here as well.

m addressing developers with a specific request. Our plans for the PVS-Studio 5.00 static code analyzer are to implement integration with the C++Builder environment and support for the C++/CX language extension. Unfortunately, we have very few projects developed in that environment or involving that extension, and we find it therefore difficult to test the new functionality. That's why I'm asking the community to share the source codes of your projects with us. Now let's speak of it all in detail. Continue: http://www.viva64.com/en/b/0184/

With the release of the BlackBerry Q10 right around the corner, BlackBerry 10 application developers should be thinking about adapting their code to support the new devices. This article presents background and tips on development for this new handset.

I'm joking about Linux, of course. Nevertheless, this question really interests me. I understand that systems they work on in Microsoft are large and complex. I know very well that bugs may be detected by users only some time later after release. But I don't understand how can one simply not notice obvious bugs in the tools the developers themselves are meant to use regularly?

In the recent releases of Microsoft* Visual Studio 2012 and Windows 8* with Windows Runtime as a common foundation, there are many new things to investigate. This article demonstrates how to implement interfaces with equal set of methods and properties in various languages. This can be valuable in iterative development or just helpful in better understanding interfaces in Windows Runtime.
