Can the MVVM Light toolkit be used with Xamarin.Mac? - mvvm-light

I've searched for information on this combination but cannot find anything. There are a few discussions of using MVVMCross with Monomac/Xamarin.Mac, but nothing I can find regarding MVVM Light.

it can be used. Just add it via Packages/Nuget to your project and enjoy.

Depending on the nuget in question, you might have to swap to the XM 4.5 target framework to get a working build.
More details can be found here: https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/mac/advanced_topics/target-framework/

Use the .NET Standard 1.0 compliant build, MvvmLightLibsStd10
https://www.nuget.org/packages/MvvmLightLibsStd10

"Initialize interactive with Project" is missing for .Net Core Projects in Visual Studio 2019

In VS 2019 the option to initialize projects on the C# Interactive console is missing when targeting .NET Core.
The option is also missing in VS 2017 and there is a related question for VS 2017. However the answer to this question mainly confirms that issue but is not offering a solution.
Does anyone knows if there is a technical limitation and therefore this feature is simply not feasible for .NET Core? Anyone having a good workaround to still initialize the project (with the complete context) manually?

I'm afraid the answer is negative.
So far this option only supports for .net framework, and not for .net core project and .net standard project temporarily.
To get this option available for .net core projects in VS it needs support from both Project-system and Roslyn. For now the Project'system work is done, you can track this issue to follow the progress of the rest work in Roslyn.
Anyone having a good workaround to still initialize the project (with
the complete context) manually?
Go View=>Other Windows=>C# Interactive to get the window,and use #r command(#r "Path/MyDll.dll") to load the assembly manually.For complete context,you also need to manually load all the referenced assemblies.
Actually not a good workaround, it seems there has a way to go before the product team complete the feature, sorry for the inconvenience :-(

Android Fragment Tabs Example

I am currently working on 2.3 version of android and I want to switch my app to 4.0 version but the TabActivity is deprecated. So I was looking for working example of FragmentTabs but I am not able to find one. Can anyone help?
I've found the FragmentTabs example from the API Demos project to be very useful.
Just create a new Android sample project from Eclipse and choose the API demos (try API 13). Also for the support (compatibility) library, there's a FragmentTabs demo in the Support4Demos
also refer this link Android-FragmentTabHost-demo
A great library is ActionBarSherlock. You can find it here. There are many examples and demos even for fragments.
It's worth mentioning that Google introduced ActionBarCompat in the v7 appcompat library (together with Android 4.3) yesterday. Here's a video overview, and here's documentation.

code inside dll

I want to see the code inside an asp.net dll. which tool do I need to use. Can I see it using visual studio 2010 ? Someone suggested to use refactor?

IL Spy is my current favourite Reflector replacement.
(RIP Reflector)
They were telling you to use Reflector, which was the de facto decompilation utility for years and years. However, it's no longer free-as-in-beer, and Telerik has recently stepped in with JustDecompile, so I suggest you give that a go.
That'd be Reflector.
There are a few alternatives as well, such as Telerik's new JustDecompile. JetBrains is now also bundling a decompiler with ReSharper 6 and promising a free standalone decompiler to be released.
you can use reflector tool for that. There are many such tools available, see the below link for more details.

Develop VSPackage (VSX) using VC++ ? Need reference materials and links

I have a requirement where I need to extend or customize the Visual Studio using Visual Studio SDK using C++ or VC++. I have fallen out of luck and have found all the book, blogs and msdn customizing Visual Studio using C#. Need help to share me links and books on customization of VS using C++.
Regards
John.
Help appreciated !!!
Visual Studio 2005 SDK comes with few samples (FigPkg, BscPrj, MyCPrj) demonstrating extending VS using native C++. It's a good way to start.
Newer versions of SDK don't contain this samples. But VSx COM API has not changed too much. Learning internals of different non-C++ projects (MPF, MPF For Projects, VisualD) can also help you better understand how VS-extensions work.

Classic ASP VBScript offline reference

I don't do a slew of VB in classic ASP, so I'm looking for an offline reference I can use while I'm well...offline. General syntax and ADO goodies are a plus!
Thanks in advance!
The Windows Script 5.6 documentation includes a reference for both VBScript and JScript, amongst other goodies. You can download the offline version from Microsoft's download center.
ADO docs con't come w/ the scripting reference , but I think you can get offline ADO documentation when you download the MDAC 2.8 SDK. Just do a customized install and only pick the documentation.
In addition to localhost/iisHelp (does that have developer docs in it?) you can find all you need even in an old version of the MSDN library for VS if you have one lying around.
The best time for this was 2001 or so. I can't find a lot of reference websites that I depended on for day to day stuff. Most have moved on to .Net. MSDN might be the best reference.
