If you move VS2013 project to VS2010 to use the setup project in VS2010

I used VS2013 to do all new projects because the UI for coding has improved a lot. Easier to code.

Then come to the time to create a MSI. I move source code to VS2010.

Create a form on VS2010 and have VS2013 open, select all controls of the form from VS2013 and paste to VS2010 form. Then everything will be copied.

The copy the code over, but all the listbox item selected event code you have to deleted it from the VS2013 code (save it to notepad) then create on VS2010 that event to generate the header code for the item selected event, then paste the code back. Then it will work.

Strip double quotes from a string in .NET

I think your first line would actually work but I think you need four quotation marks for a string containing a single one (in VB at least):

s = s.Replace("""", "")

for C# you'd have to escape the quotation mark using a backslash:

s = s.Replace("\"", "");

Android Activity step by step

#9 Android Activity Lifecycle Part 1

How to import picture or image to blogger - use Google doc way

I need to do lots of picture shots and put on blogger. So I use Snagit to take to picture the save to the hard drive, then get in blogger editor, click on insert image, then choose file, then save it.

It really takes to much time.....need to find a better way.

Did a little research
one links says save to Word doc and upload to Google doc, but still too many steps.

Easier step is

1. Set up a profile in Snagit to have image captured to clipboard, the paste to a open Google doc, then from Google doc copy and paste to Blogger compose editor.

Easy and fast.

Android Fragment communication

1. create interface
2. implement in main activity
3. add respond method
4. in respond method call fragment 2
5. in fragment B do change data
6. in fragment A define Communicator
7 initiate Communicator
8 onclick call respond, which pass data to Mainactivity because Main Activity implement Communicator
9 call fragment B respond
10 call fragment change data
11. in fragment B do change data

TFS command line to display who checked out files, find file

tf status to show who checked out

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC>
tf status $/ /user:* /recursive > e:\MyPendingCheckouts.txt /s:"http://YourTFSServerName:8080/tfs/YourCollectionName"

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC> you have to open and VS command line

/user:* you need * to show all users

e:\MyPendingCheckouts.txt is the file to contain all outputs.

/s:"http://YourTFSServerName:8080/tfs/YourCollectionName" showing the source of TFS

tf Dir command to show location

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13251695/tfs-search-for-a-file-by-name-in-source-control

tf dir /recursive $/

you can pass in the item you are searching for also e.g.

tf dir /recursive $/*.cs

gets all the .cs files in all team projects

if you see error below:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13358244/tf-exe-history-getting-unable-to-determine-the-source-control-server

You need to add yellow highight to your command
