You should all have noticed if you right click a file in the windows explorer, there is a tab named Details. Is there any trick to get these properties, and specifically the product name, whether this is a .NET file or not, over C#?
You can use the FileVersionInfo class for that purpose.
FileVersionInfo fvi = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(fileName);
Console.WriteLine("Product name : {0}", fvi.ProductName);

OK, so I've managed to create a custom project flavor with a custom property page. It all works and the values are being saved to the .csproj file like such:
<ProjectExtensions>
<VisualStudio>
<FlavorProperties GUID="{880389B4-B814-4796-844B-F0E1678C31D1}" Configuration="Debug|Any CPU">
<ServiceLibraryProjectFlavorCfg>
<BooleanProperty>True</BooleanProperty>
</ServiceLibraryProjectFlavorCfg>
</FlavorProperties>
<FlavorProperties GUID="{880389B4-B814-4796-844B-F0E1678C31D1}" Configuration="Release|Any CPU">
<ServiceLibraryProjectFlavorCfg />
</FlavorProperties>
</VisualStudio>
What I cant seem to figure out is how to access this custom property from, say, a menu item callback in my package. I can get the project that the selected item in the solution explorer which was right clicked belongs to, but I'm stuck after that...
Any help will be appreciated
Thanx

OK, I figured it out.
As part of creating a custom project flavor, you inherit from FlavoredProjectBase and implement the IVsProjectFlavorCfgProvider interface.
the IVsProjectFlavorCfgProvider has one implementable method
int CreateProjectFlavorCfg(IVsCfg pBaseProjectCfg, out IVsProjectFlavorCfg ppFlavorCfg)
So here I implemented a static mapping between my custom IVsProjectFlavorCfg and the specified IVsCfg
Already having a EnvDTE.Project reference, I could then use the following to get a IVsCfg reference:
IVsHierarchy hierarchy1 = null;
var sol = Package.GetGlobalService(typeof(SVsSolution)) as IVsSolution;
sol.GetProjectOfUniqueName(project.UniqueName, out hierarchy1);
IVsSolutionBuildManager bm = Package.GetGlobalService(typeof(IVsSolutionBuildManager)) as IVsSolutionBuildManager;
IVsProjectCfg[] cfgs = new IVsProjectCfg[1];
bm.FindActiveProjectCfg(IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, hierarchy1, cfgs);
IVsCfg cfg = cfgs[0] as IVsCfg;
I could then use the IVsCfg reference to look up my custom configuration provider.
If you can access the project node instance (and if your project system is based on MPF), you can just use the GetProjectProperty method of the ProjectNode class. It obtains a ProjectPropertyInstance and returns its evaluated value, or null if the property does not exist.
I've got files with a custom extension .mcsx that are really CSharp files. I want to get code completion on these files in Visual Studio 2012, but these files are treated as plain text when I open them in VS.
I've tried to create a custom MEF extension which allows me to treat the files as having a content-type based on csharp, but I don't get autocompletion or code formatting for these documents. I might need to invoke the custom CSharp classifier for my custom content type, but I'm not sure. Can anyone help?
The custom ContentType is below:
static class ContentType
{
public const string Name = "CSScript";
[Export]
[Name(Name)]
[DisplayName("CSharp Script")]
[BaseDefinition("CSharp")]
public static ContentTypeDefinition CSharpContentType = null;
[Export]
[ContentType(Name)]
[FileExtension(".mcsx")]
public static FileExtensionToContentTypeDefinition CSharpFileExtension = null;
}
Thanks to 'Ego' on the VS forums:
You can add the custom extension file via the way below:

So inside of VS things are actually a bit different than the editor APIs imply -- we don't actually use content types (for the most part) to determine when to activate. Noah Richards has a great blog post that shows how to create an extension that marks another extension under an existing editor.
I would like to get and display the itemxml of the selected item from the Tridion CME.
I was able to get the Itemxml from my VM server when i give the tcm id in the browser.
However, i would like to get the same information from Tridion GUI Extension.
I am able to get the selected item tcm id. Is there any way to get the itemxml using coreservice?
or is there any other way to get this?
At the moment there's no way you can get Item XML through core service. Item XML you have seen was provided to you by TCM Protocol handler that might not be there in future versions. If you want to show item XML in CME - take a look at this extention by Yoaw:
http://sdltridionworld.com/articles/sdltridion2011/tutorials/GUIextensionIn8steps.aspx
Also, keep in mind that not all properties of an item might be exposed in Xml, sometimes you have more info in Data object
Take a look at the PowerTools, it has an ItemXML viewer (written by Robert Curlette) for all items in SDL Tridion
http://code.google.com/p/tridion-2011-power-tools/wiki/ItemXML
The XML is loaded on a tab using JavaScript as follows:
ItemXmlTab.ItemXmlTab.prototype.updateView = function ItemXmlTab$updateView()
{
if (this.isSelected())
{
var xslPath = $ptUtils.expandPath("/PowerTools/Client/ItemXml/ItemXmlTab.xslt", true);
$xml.loadXsltProcessor(xslPath, function (value)
{
var xmlSource = $display.getItem().getXml();
// Filter out all spacing characters
xmlSource = xmlSource.replace(/\t|\n|\r/g, "");
var html = $xml.xsltTransform(value, $xml.getNewXmlDocument(xmlSource), null);
$dom.setOuterHTML($("#itemXml"), html);
});
}
};
You can view the source code of the extension at http://code.google.com/p/tridion-2011-power-tools/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2FPowerTools.Editor%2FPowerTools%2FClient%2FItemXml%253Fstate%253Dclosed
You can get the item XML via CoreService, but this will get you the Tridion R6 (2011) Xml format, which is not the same you would see before.
Sample code available here.
I tend to have a page "GetItemXml.aspx" on my Tcm servers that I then call with a Uri as a parameter, and then this page would return the Item Xml.
Article written by Yoav Niran (Url in the post of user978511) is perfect for your requirement.
if you are still facing any issue and in hurry to get it working just perform below steps -
1- Download the extension.
2- Apply the steps 7 and 8 of this article to configure this extension.
I have created a command button on the Ribbon Toolbar. When I select an component an click on "Display Info" button, an popup should open telling me about the latest version of the Component, Modified date, and the User who last modified it.
I do get the component with the following code:
var item = $models.getItem(selection.getItem(0));
How can I get the other information from here.
Part 2:
When I try to see the JS code in Firebug, I see them in one single line. I am unable to put an break point on the execute function within my code.
Any suggestions on the above points. ?
To deminify the JS, to allow you to add breakpoints, and also to allow you to use a JS console to inspect objects that are available, you can follow the instructions at http://code.google.com/p/tridion-2011-power-tools/wiki/DeactivateJSMinifier.
User information can be retrieved using the information at How to get the user Id of the currently logged user in Tridion?
I find that the only way to find anything with Anguilla is to use a JS Console like Chrome's.
Once you get the current item - like you do now - you can do stuff like:
var version = item.getVersion();
var lastModifiedDate = item.getLastModifiedDate();
var lastEditorId = item.getStaticRevisorId();
getStaticRevisorId() gives you the Tridion URI of the last user to change the item, and you can then load this to retrieve further information from it.
I've been trying to figure out how to programmatically add files to an Xcode4 project and it seemed like AppleScript would be the way to go, however I'm running into "missing value" errors.
Here's the code I've got:
tell application "Xcode"
set theProject to first project
set theTarget to first target of theProject
set theBuildPhase to compile sources phase of theTarget
tell first group of theProject
set theFileRef to make new file reference with properties {full path:"/Users/jeff/Projects/XcodeTest/XcodeTest/MyViewController.h", name:"MyViewController.h", path:"XcodeTest/MyViewController.h", path type:group relative}
add theFileRef to theProject
end tell
--tell theBuildPhase to make new build file with properties {build phase:theBuildPhase, name:"MyViewController.h", file reference:theFileRef, target:theTarget, project:theProject}
end tell
I've tried the commented-out line instead of the add-command as well, but that doesn't work either (I get "missing value").
The 'add' error is:
error "Xcode got an error: file reference id \"251AD3431432472E006E300F\" of Xcode 3 group id \"251AD32C14324645006E300F\" of project \"XcodeTest\" of workspace document \"XcodeTest.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace\" doesn’t understand the add message." number -1708 from file reference id "251AD3431432472E006E300F" of Xcode 3 group id "251AD32C14324645006E300F" of project "XcodeTest" of workspace document "XcodeTest.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace"
The "make new reference" does add the file to the list of files in Xcode, but I also need it to be added to the project target so that I can add actions and outlets to the file from Xcode w/o having to first check the checkbox to add it to the "target membership".
I ended up sending this question to the devs on the xcode developer list and the response I got was effectively "you can't".
This appears to be completely broken in Xcode4, but I've seen a project that does it. I think what they are doing is parsing and modifying the "project.pbxproj" file directly. (this file is hidden inside the xcodeproj bundle)
The file is a GUID soup, but once you look at it for a while it seems possible to safely modify it, especially if you are only adding stuff.
Edit:
Found this stackoverflow answer that might help.
Tutorial or Guide for Scripting XCode Build Phases
There is a poorly documented user defined build setting that can be added. Files can be both excluded and included from compilation
Go to your target's Build Settings > Tap the + button > Add User-Defined Setting
The key is either INCLUDED_SOURCE_FILE_NAMES or EXCLUDED_SOURCE_FILE_NAMES
The value is a space separated list of file paths
