Double-clicking Visual Studio solution files in Windows 7
I guess I am not the only one annoyed by the fact that I could not open Visual Studio by double-clicking a solution file. Finally I looked into this problem and first found a simple, but not satisfying solution:
By setting Visual Studio to not run as an administrator. But if you ever tried running Visual Studio on Windows 7 without admin rights, you know this is not a satisfying solution!
Using the AutoCompleteBox in the WPF Toolkit
In this blog post I will look into the AutoCompleteBox in the WPF Toolkit, added in the february release of the WPF Toolkit. The AutoCompleteBox works, just the way I had expected it, but it actually adds a couple of more features than what I would have expected. Only one dll is needed to use the AutoCompleteBox:
System.Windows.Controls.Input.Toolkit
I will not describe all the features in details, only describe the basics of what you need to know to use it! To add a basic AutoCompleteBox, I just add the following line to my XAML:
<Controls:AutoCompleteBox Name="autocompleteBox" />
