Acrobat SDK plugin in Visual Studio 2012

Hello
I am trying to develop a plugin for Acrobat SDK. We are using Visual Studio 2012 here at work but as the samples seemed to require using Visual Studio 2010 I had to resort to downloading Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express and trying to run the examples there. I managed to get the BasicPlugin to work by building it and copying the BasicPlugin.api file into the plug_ins directory and the menu and menu item would show.
Since then I have been battling by using Visual Studio 2012 to work the same way and have used two different attempts, first by including the header files in the solution and then replicating the samples more closely by setting the includes (Additional Include Directories) in the Property Pages for the project and having other settings in the same way, but to no avail.
Is it not possible to use Visual Studio 2012 or is there something I am missing?
I must confess that my C++ is rather rusty as I normally use C#.
Please find the two projects here if that helps explain my problem:
OneAcrobatPlugin.zip - Box
OneAdobePlugin.zip - Box

It probably won't be impossible, but having worked through this many, many years ago (with different versions), it will demand a great deal of experiment, detailed analysis of the type of project and all of the options and included files; in some cases the header files need intelligent adjustment. A plug-in is a type of DLL with very specific requirements as everything has to match the internal conventions used to build Acrobat. Plug-ins are not like ordinary apps because they become a true part of the app that runs them, and any error crashes the whole app. It is not, frankly, worth the time needed to do such a port at your stage, especially as you won't be able to know whether your problems are due to porting issues or inexperience with plug-ins.

Thanks for Adrian's help.
Hi Balaji,
Based on your issue, I agree with Adrian's suggestion. Therefore, I suggest you can try Adrian's suggestion to refer the link of Cybermaxs' reply check your issue.
In addition, I suggest you can use fiddler to check the header definition.

Hi,
According to your description, it seems like VS itself problem, you can try to repair this program through Control Panel for test. If no use, it would be better to post your question at VS forum for further assistance.

Add-in for Access 2010/2013 with Visual Studio 2012 (2013 Preview)

Hello!
Am i right: Microsoft wants to kill Access in favor of Azure/SQL stuff?
I was unable to find any Projects in Visual Studio 2012/2013 to create an Addon for Access 2010 or 2013 (only Word, Excel, Outlook).
There is even no Microsoft.Office.Tools.Access.ApplicationFactory
to install add-in to Access App.
Any solutions for VS 2012?
Or i should use outdated Shared Add-in with VS 2010?
Thank you!

Sorry Donald M from Microsoft,
You need to rethink that response. IDTExtensibility2 is an outdated Office 2003 technology.
Everything EXCEPT the ThisAddIn.designer.cs reference to ApplicationFactory _factory compiles when you switch references in another Office application's VSTO project template to msaccess and dao libraries. Even the Access icon shows up in Visual
Studio 2013. The only reason a Ribbon.xml project will not load into Access is that Microsoft hasn't provided the Microsoft.Office.Tools.Access DLL for it. If you leave the Factory reference pointing to global::Microsoft.Office.Tools.Factory,
the add-in compiles but will not load.
MICROSOFT: Please provide us the missing Factories for MSAccess and OneNote.

Move a Excel 2010 Dokument Addin Project (Visual Studio 2012) to another devleopment machine with Visual Studio 2012 , but Office 2013

Hi
we do have the following situation
on computer A there is a Excel Document Addin development project , Visual Studio 2012, Office 2010 installed. All works fine.
we would like to bring the project to another machine with Visual Studio 2012, but Office 2013 installed.
Visual Studio can not build the project. It says that the application is not installed on the machine (though Excel 2013 is installed , but not Excel 2010) It seems to have a problem with the
vbproj.
In other forums I found a hint that "Hostpackage = ..} needs to be set accordingly in the vbproj. I created then a "empty Excel-Addin project" under Visual Studio , looked at
the Hostpackage entry, put that into the vbproj of "problem project. It still does not work.
It would be great if anyone could help.

Hello Eugene
Problem is that it says that projectboard (the name of the main project) can not be loaded. All other projects in the solution can be loaded. Strange thing is , now that I try to create a empty excel Project it says that according to Excel security settings
it can not be generated !?
I opened then Excel and set all Trust Center settings to "Default" - but no effect. I really have no idea what is wrong ..!?

SQL Server Database Connectivity with Visual Studio 2012 - Help Needed

Hello,
I am having Visual Studio 2012 and SQL Developer 4.0 installed on my system with Windows 8 - 64bit
I want to shift a VS project with an SQL database connectivity to another new Laptop (above mentioned) ...
I have the project opened in VS without bieng connected to the database..
I have a backup file of the database (which needs to be restored to a new created database on SQL Developer)
The problem:
I am unable to create a server connection in SQL Developer which will allow me to create a new database followed by the recovery from backup file.
I am getting the following error message when I try to create a connection:
Status: Faliure - IO error: The network adapter could not establish a connection
Please help me in setting up a server connection and adding a new sql database

The error message seemed unfamiliar to me and since I had never heard of SQL Developer before, I went to Google. Google might be pulling my legs, but it appears that SQL Developer is related to Oracle. This forum is devoted to SQL Server, so you are in the
wrong place.
Try finding a forum for SQL Developer.

Visual studio 2012 the name "initializeControl" does not exist in the namespace in visual WebPart

Hi All,
I'm trying to create a visual webpart in SharePoint 2013 using Visual Studio 2012 and I am seeing that the file ascx.g.cs
is missing and i have this error in file ascx.cs : the name "initializeControl" does not exist in the namespace.
And like i said i use VS2012 Ultimate
Can anyone Help me please!!!
thanks.

In most scenarios this is caused by some error in code preventing Visual Studio from generating the designer file. You could try to undo the latest changes and see whether the item is being generated or not. Additionally you could try checking if the custom
tool is still associated with the Visual Web Part SPI in the Properties Window.

Visual Studio 2012 SharePoint Project Error : The partial project item type does not have a value for this property

Hi,
I am getting this error from visual studio 2012 whenever i try to create the following project types:
- Workflow Custom activity
- Web parts
The error is as mentioned below
"The partial project item type does not have a value for this property"
Due to this the when I add above type of items in my project, they show a red cross icon against them.
Please let me know If have you any solution?

Hi
I had same issue. Below is the solution
Installing
"Visual Studio 2012 Update 3" usually solves this problem. (You can download it through microsoft's official site at
"http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=39305")

Visual Studio 2012 cannot resolve symbol or Errors control is not a member of class

Visual Studio 2012 Web Site Project (Note not a Web application, so there are not Designer.vb files) > Site works perfectly fine and using IIS and attaching to IIS to debug code.
However, if I try to build the site inside of Visual Studio I am getting lots of Errors ‘pnlName’ is not a member of ‘Page_Name’ In the code behind I am getting errors ‘Cannot resolve symbol ‘pnlName’
.ascx Page
<li style="margin-right:0;" id="pnlName" runat="server"><a href="/cart" title="Checkout" class="global-checkout">Checkout</a></li>
.ascx.vb page
Me.pnlName.Attributes.Remove("style")
I have cleaned, rebuild and nothing gets rid of these errors, but again the site works as designed, but I would like to launch and debug inside of Visual Studio.

Cor,
What I am stating is this is a solution using the Web Site Project instead of a
Web Application Project.
Web Site projects do not require Designer.vb files, Web Application Projects add Designer.vb files in the solution.
Background: I have been hired to support a very successful e-commerce site that was built by a 3rd party vendor (I had no input on the contract or specification, because I would have went with
MVC). The site works 100% correctly, however from my 2003 - 2015 experience with Visual Studio and Web Development being in Web Forms and MVC I have always built ASP.NET Solutions using the Web Application Project Templates, which compiles the code down
to .dlls.
A Web Site project does not compile the code, but simply uses the .vb files and they have to be migrated to the server with the .aspx files. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd547590%28v=vs.110%29.aspx
Currently the only way I can debug this Solution is to attach to the w3wp.exe process running locally on my work station.
The Solution is comprised of two Web Sites, which I cannot get it to compile because of the following errors -
'webServerControlName' is not a member of '(Protected Code Behind Class Name)' I am reaching out to the MSDN community to see if anyone has experienced this issue with
Web Site Projects.
I hope that clears up the Project Type question.

Using SSDT-BI in Visual Studio 2012 to create and maintain SSRS, SSAS, SSIS in SQL Server 2008 R2

Hi, My management is wanting all the developers (database and .net) to upgrade from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual Studio 2012. We are currently using SQL Server 2008 R2 for our data warehouse and using Business Intelligence (SSIS,
SSAS, and SSRS) to maintain it. Our database team is also wanting to create database projects and include that in our Team Foundation Server 2010 code repository along with our BI code. From what I've been able to research googling the
internet is there are two products available SSDT and SSDT-BI which can be installed into VS2012, but it appears that only SSDT for database projects is the only thing that will work until we someday upgrade to SQL Server 2012. Most of the information
I've found on the internet regarding this subject is over a year old and a lot can change in a year. So my questions are can we install VS2012 and both SSDT and SSDT-BI to create and maintain the SSIS, SSRS, and SSAS currently in our SQL Server 2008
R2 database? If we can install these three items, VS2012 and the two SSDTs, and are able to create new BI and maintain our current BI in our SS2008R2 database then what issues might we have with our TFS2010 code repository? We prefer
to use only VS2012 or VS2008 but not both at the same time. If we can't do everything we are currently doing in VS2008 with our SS2008R2 database by switching to VS2012 and the two SSDTs then we will stay with VS2008 until we someday upgrade
to SS2012. Please advise and thank you. James M.

I'm going to move this to the SSAS blog, where most SSDT-BI questions are answered (this forum mainly answers SSDT questions). Someone there may be able to give you better information but here's what I know:
- I think you'll only need to install SSDT-BI since you're using SSIS, SSAS and SSRS. SSDT is the database tooling which it sounds like you wouldn't use, and it's actually built into VS2012 in any case.
- SSIS projects don't work with earlier versions of SQL Server, but SSAS and SSRS do. Details are on
this blog post. I don't have enough knowledge to suggest workarounds or best practices for handling the SSIS issue. Perhaps you could keep 2 projects, or 2 branches of the same project (one for 2012, one for 2008) if that's possible? I think your BIDS projects
will be upgraded to SSDT-BI compatible projects so it's work checking them into source control, upgrading, then comparing to understand what's changed. You might be able to keep the same overall source and just change a few settings in the different branches?
Hopefully someone on the SSAS forum can help give you more information and suggestions.

Visual Studio 2012 is no longer able to interact with any TFS server

I can connect to the on-premise TFS2012 server using the instance of VS2012 installed on the server machine as well as the instance of VS2012 installed on a coworker's machine.
I was able to interact with TFS2012 using the instance of VS2012 installed on my Win7 x64 machine, but only one time. Many reboots later, both of the server itself and my machine, I haven't been able to get VS2012 to interact properly with TFS.
When I click on "Team" and select "Connect to Team Foundation Server", the "Team Explorer" VS window opens. In that window, no matter what button or link I click on, Visual
Studio won't connect to TFS or allow me to choose a TFS server.
1. Clicking on the Home icon takes me to page with two buttons: Pending Changes & settings.
Clicking on "Pending Changes" takes me to a page where I can do 3 things: click on "no workspace" (nothing happens), click on Actions -> Open Source Control Explorer (which opens an
empty Source Control Explorer Window, from which I can do nothing), click on "Settings", which shows me a page with 4 options:
Security: clicking it results in the message "Team Foundation Error. Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
Group Membership: clicking it results in the message "Team Foundation Error. Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
Source Control: clicking it results in the message "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: serverName"
Process Template Manager: clicking it results in the message "Value cannot be null: Parameter name: tpc"
2. Clicking on the "Connect to Team Projects" icon takes me to a page where I can click on either:
"Configure Team Projects": clicking it does nothing
"Connect": clicking it does nothing
"Sign Up": opens a Visual Studio Online page on my web browser
If I instead go to File -> Source Control -> Advanced, there is only one option which appears to be working:
Change Source Control. When I click on it I get a window with a table with rows that correspond to the current solution and the projects in the current solution. ie:
Solution/Project: {item name}
Server Name: "<No Server>"
Server Binding: "<No Server>"
Connected: {gray uncheckable checkbox}
Status: "Not Controlled"
Local Binding:
Provider:
Relative path:
The buttons "Connect", "Disconnect", "Browse" are disabled. Clicking on the "Bind" button results in a window with the message "The mappings
for the solution could not be found" and two buttons: Ok and
Help. Clicking on Help results in a white window with the message:
"The 'EurekaPackage' package did not load correctly. The problem may have been caused by a configuration change or by the installation of another extension. You can get more information by examining the file 'C:\User\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ActivityLog.xml'.
Continue to show this error message?"
Clicking "yes" open the following page on my web browser, which essentially tells me to go back to the "Change Source Control" window and unbind the project, which VS is not letting me do:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/query/dev11.query?appId=Dev11IDEF1&l=EN-US&k=k%28vs.tfc.sourcecontrol.MessageConnectionManagerCantBind%29;k%28TargetFrameworkMoniker-.NETFramework
The following is an excerpt from the "ActivityLog.xml" file mentioned in the white window that appeared when I clicked on the "Help" button:

What, if anything, can I do in order to be able to get Visual Studio 2012 to interact with TFS?

I'll add that when I run devenv.exe with the flag /TFSLink, VS opens a Team Explorer window that contains the following text:
An exception was encountered while constructing the content of this frame. This information is also logged in "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ActivityLog.xml".Exception details:System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.   at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IVsShell5.LoadPackageWithContext(Guid& packageGuid, Int32 reason, Guid& context)   at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Platform.WindowManagement.WindowFrame.GetPackage()   at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Platform.WindowManagement.WindowFrame.ConstructContent()

Getting Dynamic Context Sensitive Help API to work with Visual Studio 2012 and 64 bit?

We have RH 9.
Our developers are working on implementing RH's dynamic CSH API inside of our software product:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/robohelp/robohtml/WSa7dd8288c271d662-26f4398e12b0c229082-8000. html
The instructions our developer found say:
Call your Help projects with the function RH_ShowHelp. The source code for this function is contained in the support files which you import into your development project. Languages supported are Visual Basic, C/C++, JavaScript, and Java. The files are in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp [version]\CSH API. The files are:
CSH API\RoboHelp_CSH.cpp (C/C++, dependent on the .h)
CSH API\RoboHelp_CSH.h (C/C++, dependent on the .cpp)
I zipped up the CSH API from my RH 9 version and sent it to the developer. We're using Visual Studio 2012.
But now the dev is asking, "Is there a newer version? This one doesn't compile in win32 without me making some tweaks, and doesn't work at all in x64..." and "Is RoboHelp10 an option? 9 doesn't seem VS2012 compatible or x64 compatible."
Does anyone know if there are there is a later version of the API available that works for 64-bit / VS 2012?

Hi,
The RoboHelp 10 API should work for WebHelp created with RoboHelp 9. Since the RH10 API will now support Multiscreen HTML5 (introduced with RoboHelp 10), I imagine it will work with VS 2012. But I’ve not tried that. You can try the RH10 API, but Adobe won’t support it
Alternatively: A colleague of mine created a custom C# API some time ago. That might work for you: http://www.wvanweelden.eu/blog/2012/08/03/custom-webhelp-apis

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object." in Visual Studio 2012 Entity Framework Model-First

Hello
We're trying to use a Model-First with Entity Framework in Visual Studio, targeting an Oracle XE 11g installation.
No matter from what angle we're approaching the issue, we always end up with an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" in Visual Studio:
First way:
- Add new ADO.NET Entity Framework Model to a .NET Framework 4.5 project
- Empty model
- Add some entities and associations
- Set Database Generation Workflow to "Generate Oracle Via T4 (TPT).xaml"
- Set DDL Generation Template to "SSDLToOracle.tt"
- Generate Database From Model
- VS asks for DB connection ==> Click "New Connection"
- Enter the connection properties to the Oracle XE database. "Test Connection" tells me the connection is okay.
- Click OK. Visual Studio shows the following error message:
(here's the image if it's not visible: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/35614983/vs2012_oracle_ef_error.png)
We also tried to generate the model in VS2010 and then manually transform it to an EF5 / VS2012 model. At the "Generate Database from Model" step, the same error appeared.
We also tried to generate the model from database (Database-First approach). Same error.
My configuration:
- Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
- Installed Oracle client: ODTwithODAC1120320_32bit.zip, so the version is 11.2.0.3.20
- Visual Studio 2012 Update 3 (11.0.60610.01)
Thanks for any hints!
EDIT: I just read that ODP.NET doesn't seem to support Entity Framework 5, so I tried a new project with Entity Framework 4.1, but I get the same errors.
EDIT 2: On a 32-bit Windows 7 virtual machine, everything works fine. Seems the problem is only there on my 64-bit Windows 7 machine.

Sorry for the delay on this one. Let me know if you are still seeing this and I will see if we can get more diagnostic info somehow.
That error is basically an exception fault. It means a bug or a misconfiguration of Oracle Developer Tools. Can you try to reinstall ODT and see if you notice any unusual errors during install.. and see if a reinstall fixes the problem?

How do I load an SSIS package created in Visual Studio 2012 Shell (Integrated) onto SQL Server 2012 using SQL Management Studio 2012

I am fairly new to this whole process of working with the Microsoft development environment. Here is what I have to work with:
an NT server running Microsoft SQL 2012 - Microsoft SQL Server Standard (64-bit) 11.0.2100.60
and on my laptop (all freebie downloads):
SQL Server Management Studio 2012 ver 11.0.2100.60
Visual Studio 2012 Express for Desktop Development and
Visual Studio 2012 Shell (Integrated)
I was able to create an SSIS package in
2012 Shell (Integrated). It takes a flat file and imports it into an SQL database table. It runs successfully from within the
2012 Shell (Integrated) envrionment.
But I am having trouble figuring out how to set this up on the 2012 SQL Server. I see that one of my colleagues created an Integration Services Catalog,
and using SQL Management Studio I was able to create a folder under that called DigLic. But when I go to the Projects subfolder of DigLic and attempt to import my SSIS package, I get an error message:
"To launch the Integration Services Deployment wizard, one of the components: Integration Services, Management Tools - Basic or Business Intelligence Development Studio has to be installed by the SQL Server
2012 Standard, Enterprise, Developer, or Evaluation Edition. To install a component, run SQL Server Setup and Select the component name"
I realize that Express Versions of Visual Studio lack the full feature set of a professional version. But am I wrong in assuming that owning a server version of SQL Server 2012 gives us license to a professional
version of SQL Management Studio 2012? If so, how would I go about getting this software component installed? And I am not clear if this is something that needs to be installed on our SQL Server or if I simply need a professional version of SSMS
loaded on my laptop.
I work for a company that is fairly fractured in its repsonsibilities, so I would need to know exactly what to ask for if I need to track down any licenses that I might need and if I need to have any specific software installed on our SQL server or on my
laptop.
All helpt would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Arthur,
Thank you for your reply. But at this point, one of my points of confusion is what software I have available to me. I wish I had a useful central help desk to call up and just say, "Hey, load me up with all of the professional version(s) of Visual
Studio. But I do not know what we have license to. And I kind of need to know what the options are, so that I can ask a specific question of our vast buracracy.
For now, I have downloaded only free versions of Visual Studio client software. Since my company does have servers running Microsoft SQL Server, I am going to assume that we have proper licensing for those servers. But does that server license
allow me to get any professional versions of the PC client software for the various Visual Studio(s) 2012?
And if I get a professional version of Visual Studio 2012, does that do away with the three different flavors that I have right now? I have 2012 versions of SQL Server Management Studio, Visual Studio Express, and Visual Studio Shell (Integrated).
Your feedback is much appreciated.
Thanks!

How can I execute a existing source code in visual studio 2012?

My friend sent me a mini project(ASP.Net) through mail in a zipped folder. I extracted it and it contains source code and databases. I don't know how to execute it in visual studio 2012. I read that I can do it by choosing Project from existing code option
from the file menu.But I don't find the option.Kindly help me how to execute that project which I received through mail in visual studio 2012.

In case of ASP Web Sites, which do not require solution and project files, go to FILE
à Open
à Web Site, then select the folder from File System.
If nothing work, then perhaps you do not have the required version of Visual Studio. Then give more details or clarify it with your friend. The database probably requires some preparation steps too.
