Visual Studio 2010 XML Comment Visualizer

I've seen references to this addin but it looks like this addin has been lost in the internet void but i've seen another sample like this that is a bit more greyed out. Does anyone know of any addin's like this that auto hide xml comments and displays them nicely like this?
That came from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd722812.aspx but no code/dll available...

Delphi Custom Listview Draw

I am looking to make something like IPhone Listbox !
I found someone who provided a download url for this project: but I was to late and the download url does not work anymore.
So I'm asking if killercode the same member on experts-exchange to upload it again if possible and if there is someone who can help me find the right component for this kind of listbox to use in Delphi.
TDbCtrlGrid looks a lot like what you are looking for.
You just define how each row has to look in the form designer, and that is used as some sort of template for each record in your dataset. It shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes to reproduce whatever you have in your screenshot.
This screenshot was found via google and shamelessly posted here..
Also, check this question:
Delphi control that could mimic "Add-ons|Extension list" of Firefox?
It's about somebody trying to mimic the FireFox add-on list:
If you want to pay for components, TMS software do an iPhone controls pack, which i think has a listview.

Form/Unit switching in Delphi XE?

How do I get a projects form, as well as its unit, shown both on the tabs/pages?
Currently I have to use "Toggle form/unit" or press F12
Just out of curiosity's sake, doesn't really bother me, but would be nice to know (I switched over from Delphi 7, so I must still get used to stuff)
Thanks
You can switch using Code/Design Tabs in the bottom.
I believe in XE you can alter the display to display as it did in Delphi 7.
Here is a link describing it. I have not watched it as I don't have much time but being from embaracadero I am going out on a limb and saying it will help.

I don't have now the time to create a fully functional example, but I believe this link will help you a lot.
LE: I've found some examples here:

and here

Searching the ToolsAPI folder in my Delphi installation for "Splash" yields SplashScreenServices: IOTASplashScreenServices; whose comments read promising.

Delphi IDE locks because of a hidden modal window

Has someone else experienced something like this with Delphi and if so is there a known workaround!
I'm using the Delphi 2010 Rad Studio on Windows 7 64 bit.
A few times when editing the IDE hangs and I can't do any action either by keyboard or mouse. But there is a error-beep sound from windows like there is a modal window open somewhere, but hidden behind the ide it self.
Only by ending the ide via Task manager can I make this hidden modal window visible.
I see this often with various other dialogs as well.
Pressing "Alt-Tab" and reselecting Delphi you will cause the dialog to appear in the front again.
Note: This happens with other versions of Delphi as well.
I have the same problem with older versions of Delphi like D6.
My solution is use another tool like WinExp –Windows Explorer– or WinResQ to explore the existing active windows on system and reactivate it (BringToTop).
With this solution I get the Delphi IDE on Top and appears the window that cause the lock. This is the only option I have worked for me.
Regards.
Alt+Tab works, but you have to select another application, then Alt+Tab to return to Delphi, and then the dialog will show in front.
