anyone wants to test a little app for me...

[MrPolite]

It's supposed to load a vs.net solution file (2002 or 2003) into a treeview control. I just want people to load different solutions with it and check to see if everything that's showing in the treeview is right. I expect a lot of bugs

When you run the program, click on File, then Import Solution File. Other things in the app dont work...

update: should work with namespaces + interfaces
any kind testers?

[MrPolite]

looks like this
I also wnat to check for the correct icons (ie, a protected function has a different icon from a public function)

In Build HTML Documentation Browse button does not work, and if 'Build' faces a problem, the progress bar remains at the position it was.

umm yeah, only use the Import menu... other things dont work now. I'm just trying to make sure it can load a solution file

umm another problem that I found: I forgot to add support for Interfaces so it doesnt detect any interfaces right now... fixing that

If a soultion contains a setup project it just shows the name of the setup project and nothing else from that project. Is that by desing?

hmm I never even thought of a setup project hehe

If you have a setup project, in vs.net click on View/Class View. I tried it with a blank setup project and the classview is empty (makes sense because it doesnt have any objects in it I guess). My app is supposed to show the items as they would appear in the ClassView of the visual studio (at least similar to it).

My app detects the following items:
Solutions
Projects
Namespaces (doesnt work at the moment but detects them)
Classes
Modules
Structures
Variable Declarations
Properties
Subs/Functions
Events
Delegates
Enums (and the declarations inside it)
Interfaces (just added this, have to download the file again from the first post)


I guess none of the above is to be found in a setup project becuase setup projects dont have code (I think this is the case, right?)

anyways, is there anything else that I should add to that list? am I missing anything?


umm bunch of problems right now:
-doesnt add the namespaces correctly
-doesnt work with multiline definitions (if you have a "_" at the end of the line and you continue your code on another line)

[MrPolite]

works with namespaces now

It doesn't do Events or at least doesn't show the name in the treeview although the actual info does show in the form (on the right).

Correction it works fine if you declare the event like a method (i.e Public Event OnSomething(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)) but not if you declare the event as a delegate, the same way you would in C# (i.e. Public Event OnSomething As EventHandler).

hmm can you give me the line of code for that/


and by even, you mean an event declaration (like Event someEvent?) or and event handler?

Here is what I mean:

Thanks, that;s a result of my dumbness I didnt even know you can declare an event like that I'll try to fix it

[MrPolite]

aah btw I uploaded the wrong file (or for some reason the file didnt get updated when I edited the post ).. thsi is newer, lotsa things fixed... download this

[Edneeis]

It also doesn't show inherited items that are not overridden. Also the treeview will let you edit the text of the nodes, its not set to read-only.

Also I have a solution with over 40 classes in it, but I can't upload it. It has 3 projects the most 1 project has is about 25 classes. It loads fine though and I like the new one with the namespaces.

umm yeah I didnt make it readonly on purpose... in case you want to change/edit something


what do you mean by inherited items though?

[Edneeis]

For instance view this class:

Public Class ClickableToolbarButton
    Inherits ToolBarButton
 
    Private _ClickHandler As EventHandler
 
    Public Property ClickHandler() As EventHandler
        Get
            Return _ClickHandler
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As EventHandler)
            _ClickHandler = Value
        End Set
    End Property
 
    Public Sub New()
        MyBase.new()
    End Sub
 
    Public Sub New(ByVal text As String, ByVal clickHandler As EventHandler)
        MyBase.new(text)
        _ClickHandler = clickHandler
    End Sub
 
End Class

It doesn't show any of the properties it inherits from the Toolbar class. Although in another class I inherit but override a lot of the methods and the ones I override do actually show up but the others don't.

[MrPolite]

I fixed the issue with the Event declaration (will upload it later)

damn I can find no way to fix the inheritance though

[Edneeis]

Are you just parsing the text to get the info? Or are you using the CodeDom object?

If the items were already compiled you could use reflection to get the info easily enough.

hehehe I'm just reading the files line by line... what the heck is codeDomyou're proving me more dumb that I considered myself dont tell me there is a way to do all these without reading the code line by line

[Edneeis]

I've only seen the CodeDom used in add-ins and macros but it works kind of like the XMLDom. You can AddMethods via a method and it writes the method for you sort of. Actually I don't know much about it, see I'm just as dumb as you are.

Actually reading some of the help file article 'Using the CodeDOM' it seems that the CodeDOM is used to create the code not to convert code into an object model.

umm it'd be hard to add the inherited items, specially if they don't inherit from a class that's included in the project. I'll think of something anyways, thanks for noticing
