Updated Debugging Microsoft .NET 2.0 Applications Source Code (3.2.11114.1)

After four or five reports that the SettingsMaster Add-In was failing to create it’s toolbar on some systems, I finally gave up and quit relying on what the Visual Studio documentation says about the ext_ConnectMode.ext_cm_UISetup on OnConnection. On some systems it turns out that there is no way in the world that message is sent. I changed how SettingsMaster works to always create the toolbars and commands when it loads if they don’t exist. That seems to be the only way to truly ensure the Add-In registration actually works.

  • Could you put here link to update of SettingsMaster? I have just book "Debugging Applications For Microsoft .NET and Microsoft Windows" and SettingsMaster which is on appended CD doesn't work in my Visual Studio 2005.

  • John - i too am having the problem of no toolbar for SettingsMaster. ive followed the steps right through, the registry looks good and i can even select/deselect SettingsMaster in Tools->AddIn Manager.
    is there any update available to fix this problem ?
    im using VS.NET 2008 by the way.
