sourcelinks and fogbugz - fogbugz

I just installed this:
http://www.wholetomato.com/products/sourcelinks/FogBugzBundle.asp
but I don;t seem to be getting any of the functionality in my msdev. I am using 2008 professional.
Anyone have any experience with this tool? it does not seem to work for me at all. I never get the login dialog.

After about a week the Whole Tomato team gave me a solution that worked perfectly. Thanks for the support Mark, etc.
the answer is below
After doing some research, I came
across this page:
http://www.mztools.com/articles/2007/MZ2007009.aspx
that lists several possibilities why
it might not be showing up in the
add-in manager. One of them is:
"There is a reported problem that
happens when MSXML 6.0 is not
installed correctly. In this case the
Add-In Manager doesn't show any
XML-based add-in (using an .AddIn file
for registration). It shows only
registry-based add-ins. So, if the
Add-In Manager is empty when it should
show several installed add-ins (not
only yours), try reinstalling MSXML
6.0."
You might try reinstalling XSXML 6.0,
and see if that helps. Download link
is here:

I'd certainly try that before
reinstalling VS2008.

I have the latest version, 16.10.2
This happens on two different PC's.
The problem started in a previous update, but I don't know which. I noticed it few times ago, but I didn't paid attention.
Does anyone else encountered it, and knows any solution?
Thank you
The problem was finally fixed in 16.10.3

Problem when publishing an application on the App Store [Non-public API usage]

Until three weeks ago, my application could upload it to the App Store without any problem. However, Apple has refused to upload the app with a new message about Non-public API usage.
The application is developed with Xamarin in Visual Studio for Mac and has updated all the libraries and packages. Can anybody help me? Because I can not find what the problem is, nor do I see any solution. It will be something new?
Thank you all.
Non-public API usage:
The app references non-public selectors in AppAytoSS.iOS:
addTemporaryAttribute:value:forCharacterRange:,
addTemporaryAttributes:forCharacterRange:, behaviorWithType:,
defaultBaselineOffsetForFont:, defaultLineHeightForFont:, finished,
greekingThreshold, horizontalCornerRadius,
initWithSource:convolutionState:weights:, initWithType:,
postSession:didAddPlayer:, postSession:didReceiveData:fromPlayer:,
postSession:didReceiveMessage:withData:fromPlayer:,
postSession:didRemovePlayer:,
postSession:player:didChangeConnectionState:,
postSession:player:didSaveData:, preferredMetalContext, removeData:,
removeTemporaryAttribute:forCharacterRange:, setGreekingThreshold:,
setHorizontalCornerRadius:, setIsPrimary:, setShouldAntiAlias:, setUUID:,
setVerticalCornerRadius:, shouldAntiAlias,
temporaryAttribute:atCharacterIndex:effectiveRange:,
temporaryAttribute:atCharacterIndex:longestEffectiveRange:inRange:,
temporaryAttributesAtCharacterIndex:effectiveRange:,
temporaryAttributesAtCharacterIndex:longestEffectiveRange:inRange:,
textContainerChangedTextView:, toolTip, usesBackgroundSession,
verticalCornerRadius
We had the (exactly) same problem with an Xamarin iOS Project and where able to fix it via Setting Build/iOS Build/Linker Behaviour: Link Framework SDKs only (before Don't link) - what Jack Hua link shows as solution.
We where not able, to figure out the problem behind though. Two different MacBooks where used, one with the most recent version of XCode, Visual Studio and Xamarin Libs, the other with slightly older versions. The latter was able to create an IPA without the above described error, the updated machine was not.
However the used NugGet Packages where the same, so I think this issue is not related to them.
After filling an internal issue with the Xamarin team, they advised doing the following
adding --linksdkonly to the Additional mtouch arguments on the iOS Build settings page
As it seems that Visual Studio ignores the settings in GUI
I have tested it and now get my build accepted by Apple without the above error
This is the issue filed on Xamarin
https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/issues/5913
I find a thread where people meet the same problem with you recently:build-status-has-changed-to-invalid-binary.
So, I guess some third part nuget packages you are using has updated and using these non-public selectors that Apple not allow.
I would suggest you to get you code three weeks ago and don't update any third part nuget packages. Then submit again to check if it is the problem.
You can also compare your reference with the references people listed in that thread and find something similar. And any nuget packages related to Player(As I can see some player selector in the non-public selectors list)?

List & Label web report designer cross browser compatibility

I'm planning to use list & label as a reporting tool for my MVC Web Application, I downloaded the trial version and the sample code was really helpful.
I'm almost settled on using this as my app's reporting tool but I'm thinking twice on their web app report designer tool, because I needed to install the chrome extension before I can use it.
I'm using version LL v.20
So my questions are:
Is the chrome extension really needed for the designer to work? I'm thinking that if my app goes live, will I require my clients to install this plugin first?
Will the designer have issues on other browser? So far I haven't seen extensions/plugins for IE (only Fireforx, Safari, Opera, Chrome).
PS. If all else fail, can you suggest an alternative for this? The reporting tool that I need is web-based and allows end-users to edit the reports. Thanks!
1) Yes, you need to install the plugin on the client side.
2) For IE, there's a Designer ActiveX. Simply open your existing app in IE, you should be offered to install the OCX right away.
As to your general concerns:
We plan to replace the plugins with a client-side application that can be one-time installed with a couple of clicks in LL21. The reasoning is the step-by-step deprecation of plugins by most browser vendors. Changing between the plugins and the new designer app will be quite easy. The new designer will also support previewing at design time. Depending on when you plan to ship your application it may well be worth the wait till October.
I have tried List and Label Web Designer and found that installing additional application for all users is not a good idea. Will look for another solutions, may be FastReport.Net. That online designer is realy online and can work not only on Windows.

What would be the best way to create a firefox plugin for taking desktop screenshots?

I need to create a firefox plugin that allows a user to take screenshots of any part of their desktop and have them uploaded to a server. There seems to be lots of plugins for screen capturing a webpage, but nothing for capturing anything outside of firefox. So after a little research I have not found much information on how this might be possible. I don't want to resort to a using a java applet but I will if that is my only option.
Does anyone have advice on how I might create such a feature?
Thanks
I don't think a Firefox addon is the most appropriate approach here. Maybe split the task into a Firefox addon to offer the "upload to a server" component and a native app to do the desktop screenshot (or just integrate with existing screenshot tools).
If you're worried about complicating the installation process for end users, you could look into bundling the addon component and native app into a single installer (e.g. MSI on Windows, RPM on Linux, etc.). You'll have to come up with different apps for each platform you want to support (and maybe even each version - e.g. Windows XP vs Windows 10).
Whatever you decide, you'll probably need to create a more specific question to get further help here (there's no simple Firefox.Addons.API.TakeScreenShot() answer I'm afraid).
Also make sure you're using the right terminology - a plugin is the deprecated NPAPI approach whereas addons are still supported.
I'm actually working on taking native desktop screenshots just in the last coupel of days. I'm using js-ctypes. My work goal is the same exact thing to, upload to server. If you would like to collaborate I am very open to it! We can chat about it on #jsctypes irc channel :) irc://moznet/jsctypes (Mibbit IRC WebApp) If you don't know js-ctypes thats ok i can handle that while you can handle uploading techniques, and an editor on canvas :) The editor is a huge part of it, you can see my ideas/plans here: https://github.com/Noitidart/NativeShot/wiki/NativeShot
I'm really really interested in a collab on this!
I'm still working on windows right now, the color is messed up: https://github.com/Noitidart/NativeShot/tree/digitanks-method
I was just about to start OSX work following this example here: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/samplecode/SonOfGrab/Introduction/Intro.html and here: Take ScreenShot without Window
You can install the addon from that branch and click the icon that gets added to the toolbar, it will take a screenshot with 3sec delay and then append it to the body of the selected tab. (Windows only right now)
Doneskis baby check it out: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nativeshot/
Got some quirks. Released it as v1.0 though. I'm working on Android support, pretty close. I need to flesh out the editor tools. Please let me know if you're willing to collaborate.

Why am i getting this error trying to compile an asp.net-mvc app using Parallels on my MacBook

I posted a question on the apple site but someone suggested that I might get a better response on stackoverflow directly since its a visual studio related issue.
I installed parallels on my macbook pro and i installed windows 7 iso via a DVD. at first everything looked fine exception now I am now trying to compile an asp.net-mvc app in visual studio and i get this error over and over
No matter what i click it will eventually progress but this is quite annoying. The same question was asked here but no good answer was given. It almost seems like it think it needs to depend on something from the DVD drive (which it shouldn't)
Can someone please explain why devenv.exe would need the ISO dvd to be connected to my laptop at this point?
after rebooting this problem seems to go away
