Is there any way to sort (format) methods/properties/variables/constans in a class or interface in alphabetical by type order in the source code.
Inside the Visual Studio 2013 editor?
More than format selection or
format document
Plugin?

I am trying to add a new "tab" to bug item in TFS 2017. Looking at the "tabs" you see things like "Steps to Reproduce", System, etc.
I have found information on changing work item types but nothing about adding a new "tab" across the top where you see Steps to Repro, System, Test Cases, Tasks. The change I want to make may not be possible? Or it is possible I don't know the correct verbiage to use when asking google. The think I want to change may not be a tab control at all it maybe something else different.
Thanks
***************** Updated questions after posting *****************************
After playing around with Process Editor -> WIT -> Open WIT from server -> Bug
as suggested by Andy Li-MSFT I don't see a lot of control on the formatting on the tab. I was planning to add fields in a grid like pattern like a table as shown below. I am able to get the values in the drop down list for field1 and add the fields. However I have a couple follow up questions if you have time.
Setting either the control or column for the control to read-only the column will not render when adding a new bug. I have a little more control if I set AllowedValues and Frozen for the column however the value can still be changed. Is there a better way to set read-only?
There is not much control on the layout. I am OK adding a lot of fields but would like them to be displayed in a table like structure. Is there a way to control the look of the fields on the form?
Is there a way to add the fields in a grid? This would be ideal so I only have one header for each column.
The last-updated-by and last-updated-date. Is it possible to track on a row level who made a change? If not I would be OK just adding a last updated by and last updated date to the new tab. Row level updates would be nice.
<pre>
Field 1 Field 2 (Read-only) Field 3 Last Updated By Last updated Date
Status (completed, empty, N/A) "Some text here which describes something to do" "Optional comments" tfs user name date/time
Status (completed, empty, N/A) "Some text here which describes something to do" "Optional comments" tfs user name date/time
</pre>
You need to modify the WIT definition file (Bug work item type in your scenario).
You can try below ways to do that:
Export the WIT definition file with witadmin commands, add a new tab under <TabGroup> and add a new control for it, then save and import the file. See Import, export, and manage work item types for details.
e.g:
<Tab Label="Tab0501">
<Control FieldName="System.ChangedDate" Type="DateTimeControl" Label="Test0501:" LabelPosition="Left" />
</Tab>
You can also use the TFS Power Tools to export/import WIT definition files or directly modify the files from server:
Visual Studio 2015 : Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server
2015 Power Tools
Visual Studio 2017 : TFS Process Template Editor
Reference below screenshot to do that.
Another way is writing an extension to Extend the work item form, you can reference my answer in another thread to do that.
can you please let me know how to replace the c# template with the f# one to generate the f# templates..i have copied DefaultSkeletonTemplates.sftemplate file in C:\Users\AppData\Local\SpecFlow
i am referencing this thread
Generating specflow stepdefinitions skeleton in f# instead of c#
Trying to generate F# template as per below write up
Customizing Step Definition Skeleton Templates
If you want to include a custom using statement or a base class declaration to the generated step definition skeletons, you can also customize the templates. Just place a text file called SkeletonTemplates.sftemplate into the SpecFlow folder inside your local app data (e.g. C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\SpecFlow\SkeletonTemplates.sftemplate) to override the necessary templates.
The template file contains sections, one for each template. In the custom template file you can override one or more sections. For all other sections, the default template will be used. The sections are separated with the >>> line prefix followed by the identifier of the section. The templates can refer to different parameters with the {param} syntax.
The following example overrides the class generation skeleton for C# and specifies a custom comment in the file header:

i´m starting an open source multi-platform project and need help parsing a xml-rpc xml file.
Since the name of the filed is a value, not a xml tag, I don´t know how to proceed to get the value from the name of the filed.
I created a method to recursively navigate through all xml tags and return a TResult which is a type created to store all 3 fields of each tag.
(Name of the field, Data Type, Value).
My project is Open Source, i´ll post the link here if someone needs a tip on how to do it.

I'm working in a Delphi IDE expert and I wonder if it's possible add new items to the code completion combobox displayed by the Delphi IDE when the user press CtrlSpace
UPDATE:
What I need is add items to the code completion list based in a specified type.
example suppose which I have a type called TMytype, what I want to do is add addional items to the code completion list when the user type a variable of the type TMytype

I found your question somewhat confusing but if you are in search of credible source on "Custom Live Templates" and the like on Delphi, head to the blog of Cary Jensen here.
Edit:
Looking forward to further improvement of the scope of the question, I suggest here another direction to explore:
Source code manipulation using IOTAEditor, IOTASourceEditor, IOTAEditReader and the like
Some Parsing for sanity check prior to apply any modification.
Adoption of Client DataSet as a format to store data (It's serializable) to simplify the coding of IDE editors.
Perhaps I haven't fully grasped the extent of what you are asking here, but you can add templates simply by going to 'View|Templates' from the Delphi IDE. This then opens a template viewer. Press the '+' icon. It opens a template1.xml document which you can then edit so create your new item.
If you wish to do this programatically, just add an xml file (of the same format) to the ..\RAD Studio\code_templates folder.
Does anyone know of a short cut to place my name and the date where the cursor is i.e.
//021208 DarkAxi0m
so i don't keep check what the date is when i'm adding comments.
Im using Delphi7, with CnPack And GExperts Installed.
I think it should be able to be done with one of those experts.
I use GExperts to do this, like so:
in the
GExperts\Configuration
Select the Editor Experts tab.
In the list of experts, select
Insert Date\Time
Click on the configuration, insert the desired text:
'//' ddmmyy 'DarkAxi0m: '
//021208 DarkAxi0m:
After, to insert your new Date name comment all you need to do is:
ctrl+alt+a
I setup most programmers at the job like that.
It is also simple to do with GExperts' Expand Macro Template (found in Editor Experts).
I use this expansion to insert yyyy-mm-dd at the current position:
%YEAR%-%MONTH%-%DAY%|
For a solution that will work in most applications under Windows, not only in Delphi, you can use Authotkey (free, autohotkey.com). One of its many features is the ability to expand strings that you type - typically used for autocorrecting typos.
I start all my shortcut strings with a semicolon, since it practically never leads strings I type in real life, so in your example, to insert a comment-date-username sequence, I would want to type semicolon, slash, slash:
;//
The Authotkey script (which you can put in an .ahk text file and add the file to Autostart) would look like this:
::;//:: ; this means: when I type ";//", do what follows
FormatTime, curDate,, yyyy-MM-dd ; the double comma is intended
SendInput // %curDate% %A_UserName% ; variable expansion
return
This produces the following output:
// 2008-12-05 moodforaday
AHK syntax is a little dense, but there is an extensive help file.
On edit: this script could be expanded to apply the correct comment syntax depending on the IDE you are working in at the moment. You would detect active window title, find a signature substring ("Delphi") and choose the proper comment character(s). This way you could type the same hotstring to insert your comment regardless of the current IDE or language. You can also use SendInput to position the caret the way Delphi templates do.
Never mind found one in CnPack/Soure Templates
Added the template
//%Date% DarkAxi0m
Note: i should look in the menus more closely
You might also look at the Live Templates feature, which can be scripted to do just what you want:
http://cc.codegear.com/Item/24990
Don't be put off by the name, it includes a template script to include the date, time, including the ability to format it as you want.
Here is a variation with GExperts (www.gexperts.org) that makes it easy to search for changes based on developer or date.
Example of output and comment:
//07.25.2009 (SLB20090725) - Added 3rd optional parameter.
Besides an easily readable date I can easy search for comments programmer, by year, year+month etc.)
For example I can search for (SLB200905 for any comments I logged in May of 2009.
To do:
Under the GExperts menu open Configuration... (at the bottom of the list) then select the Editor Experts tab.
Locate 'Insert Date/Time' and double click on it.
//mm.dd.yyyy '(ABC'yyyymmdd') -'
Where ABC is the programmers name, initials, id, or whatever.
Then use Ctrl-Alt-A when in Delphi's IDE to insert
This should work in any verison of Delphi supported by GExperts.
