I created a sample form for using via :
https://gist.github.com/aeveltstra/2da6ef5a7dd93c4d44e24f9cde9fc676

The most difficult thing about this script was to get the form and the tab control to size to their contents. That doesn't happen automatically. At Powershell level, the control size appears to have a Height and Width property that can be set. That is not the case on my Powershell and Windows 10 Pro. I had to create a System.Drawing.Size object and assign that to the size property.

@aeveltstra perhaps look into the Dock property?

@decryption I have quite a few of these, they work great, and no fire yet…. but I could have done without you putting the thought in my head 😛

I’m going to need a big “VS supports a lot more than MSBuild/.NET” sign, for tapping purposes, aren’t I?

xoofx, to dotnet
@xoofx@mastodon.social avatar

As spotted by @mzikmund https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzMMclD8QsI there is a potential new slnx format coming to Visual Studio, which is very welcome, but it might not be MSBuild based which is quite an unexpected and unproductive solution (haha 😁)

So, just shared my comment on the issue directly https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Clean-up-sln-VisualStudio-solution-fil/988209#T-N10636836 📢

Note that, it's not like I love MSBuild, but it is what we have today for authoring and building projects in VS/cmdline and so, let's not repeat the project.json mistake. 👀

@khalidabuhakmeh @nietras @xoofx @mzikmund mummy why is Khalid walking around inside that glass house holding a very large rock?

davidwengier,
@davidwengier@aus.social avatar

@xoofx @mzikmund I think it would be awesome if they just used msbuild, but we do need to remember there are lots of teams out there who use VS and don’t know what msbuild is (probably… I haven’t actually asked)

davidwengier,
@davidwengier@aus.social avatar

@khalidabuhakmeh @nietras @xoofx @mzikmund you’re conflating .NET and VS. when was VS promised to be open source?

Let me put it in these terms: I suspect it’s possible for someone to work on the IntelliJ platform and not know what .NET is, let alone MSBuild, or have an account on GitHub. The same is theoretically true for someone who works on parts of VS.

In fact the solution file reading code in VS was rewritten in C# within the last year or so, but was entirely C++ before that.

davidwengier,
@davidwengier@aus.social avatar

@khalidabuhakmeh @xoofx @mzikmund thank you, that’s a great example of VS having other ecosystems to support than just .NET 😀

(Also I’ve never heard of “uproject”, so a great example of how little authority I have while writing these toots, just in case anyone thought otherwise. Love you all)

davidwengier,
@davidwengier@aus.social avatar

@khalidabuhakmeh @nietras @xoofx @mzikmund you’re preaching to the choir. “dotnet new” doesn’t create a solution file so why do I need one? VS doesn’t need solution files and can open a folder, but the experience is nowhere near as good, why?

I wish all of these things were fixed, I wish everyone could be happy, and everything could be better. Sadly it’s a huge company made of lots of tiny teams.

Which is why “just use msbuild” sadly isn’t an option. is not necessarily the slam dunk win that we all think it would be.

davidwengier,
@davidwengier@aus.social avatar

@KirillOsenkov @khalidabuhakmeh @nietras @xoofx @mzikmund yeah, that was a poor choice of words. I have no doubt the idea was part of the discussions (I wasn’t though, so just guessing), so it definitely is/was “an option”, it’s just not surprising to me that it isn’t a slam dunk answer to the VS team.

@khalidabuhakmeh according to @chethusk there is zero content there. But I don’t know why he is looking at my discord in the first place.

    @decryption @jamesh my first ever job had a comb binding machine. I used to start early, well before any other devs turned up. I printed and bound so many things.

    Not sure I can remember reading any of them…

    Is this (the access modifiers) something that can be solved with a source generator (or any other way)?

    davidwengier,
    @davidwengier@aus.social avatar

    @patriksvensson yes, if you declare all of your classes as partial, you could have access modifiers declared in a source generated file that just contains the other half. Attributes could be on either, or both.

    eg https://sharplab.io/#v2:CYLg1APgAgDABFAjAOgMIHsC2AHdA7AUzwBcBZdYAgGwG4BYAKFgRQBEBLAQwHM90BnYuwDG/eg0YBtVgQBmnAK5ViAUQBuRYgAoARAAsdASgC6jbJwBOQzlQQAmOKkYBvRnHcB6D4IWzZcPQILAkYAX0ZGLzh2PDhOPmJAizhZdioQhmkCfmELdmwhfFMmAGY4cysuWygHVBogA

    It’s kinda sad how bad Lego’s colour consistency is, considering how much they charge for these little bricks.

    Stupid things that bring joy, yet aren’t perfect.

    We may need a simpler repro of the issue, but for now we would advise against using a Primary Constructor for a Brighter Handler. We are seeing an issue where the arguments are null for a primary constructor, but non-null for an explicit constructor.

    My guess would be that the compiler cannot understand that the handler is invoked at runtime.

    davidwengier,
    @davidwengier@aus.social avatar

    @ICooper are they actually null? Or do they just appear that way in the debugger?

    Lots of people seem to have run into https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/issues/70730 so it might be worth a quick runtime check to make sure you’re seeing what you’re seeing.

    davidwengier,
    @davidwengier@aus.social avatar

    @khalidabuhakmeh @ICooper a nice reminder of how spoilt we are having good tooling in .NET, that we rarely ever think to question it.

    Since learning to drive and hanging out in car corners of the internet, I've discovered that Americans cherish their right to speed almost as much as they love their guns. Like, to the point of claiming that the right to speed is a social justice issue. IT IS STRANGE AND SCARY and also explains a lot about my time in Detroit.

    davidwengier,
    @davidwengier@aus.social avatar

    @khalidabuhakmeh @lizbarr Australia is also big, and also very hard to get around without a vehicle sadly. Our speed limits are lower, and strictly enforced.
