basically what you see on the ITypeInfo is what you can know about a given type.
a number of VB attributes are actually flags of various kinds
but I'm thinking Ext, being a string has to come from GetDocumentation at least.

> **Justification**
I've written unit tests for code in my Personal Macro Workbook (PMW). When running tests I resort to running only the code in the workbook I'm working on by running each test group (grouped by location). Toggling all my PMW unit tests off to avoid testing them would speed up my development time.

**Description**
As issue title states: Add command to allow ignoring/unignore unit tests as a group

holy hell. I have to be working with SQL where the author can't make up the mind on formatting.
some commas are leading, others are trailing. There are AS in some places, but not, and indentation is essentially random
How the hell do they live with themselves?

@this Have you had a look at what Access does to SQL queries?
You start to simply use an online indenter.
 
this

That's why I hand-type my queries. I also rarely do anything complex in Access queries; preferring to do it as much as I can in T-SQL.
I also use Poor man's t-sql formatter, which makes it even worse for the author - if they don't want to go the trouble of formatting, at least hit the ctrl + K or whatever the shortcut they choose.

do you remember a time where you could embed Excel spreadsheet in a Word document?
or maybe in a PowerPoint slide?
and that if you edited the Excel spreadsheet, the changes showed up in those automatically?
That's all driven by OLE.

Embedded OLE objects have a tendency to corrupt things... does it work correctly if you embed it manually? What version of Excel are you embedding a Word 97-2003 document into? — Mathieu Guindon 8 secs ago

@MathieuGuindon I'd say I'd prefer Workbench over Access. At least the last time I checked, it doesn't lose all the tabs & returns and add a bajillion parentheses.
 
Mathieu Guindon
Mathieu Guindon
it... does.... maybe I haven't found (or bothered to look for) the settings to prevent it, but it definitely screws up all indentation, adds a ton of parentheses, and OMG THOSE DAMN BACKTICKS
 
this

what?
that must be something new. Admittedly I haven't worked with Workbench for so long but last time I did, it was OK-ish WRT formatting.
(and I don't remember going out of my way to change the setting)

@this Yep, I've actually done that.
And the best worst part is the Word doc updates when you update the Excel doc.
You can create a table in Excel and paste it into Word.
And then you think you're done. Everything looks good.
And then you delete the table from the Excel doc to create a new one, and it disappears from the word doc!

OLE is definitely an idea where it was too clever for its own good.
I'm sure it got lot of "ooh"s and "aah"s when it was first demonstrated
but in practice, "wtf"s skyrocketed

interesting. I think I've found a bug in the VBA implementation of the spec for ForEach loops
> When the <for-each-statement> has finished executing, the value of <bound-variable-expression> is the data value of the last element in <collection>.
^ that is not true
#DontHoldYourBreathForAFix
rather, that is only true if the loop does NOT run to completion

Hm, just thinking about ist, it should actually return it as the last element then.

Conditional bailout in a For Each loop and checking at the end to see whether it ran to completion (check for Nothing), then unsing that value to poulate another collection to run a For Each over to conditioally bail out again and use the result to make a new collection to run over in the first loop until both loops run to the end.

And the only reason it works at all is because it uses the undocumented behaviour that the For Each loop assigns Nothing for Ranges if it runs to completion.

I don't recall them using the term "purge" - and the way I remember it, they were always "re-educated"

and once re-educated they resume their brainwashed life somewhere else, IIRC.
Where in the case of the great purge, the disappearance was considerably more.... permanent
@FreeMan that's a new HRESULT
I'm pretty sure that's not one of HRESULTs we handle. Probably be good to catch that. I'd open an issue for it.
hmmm i wonder if that's related to the security fiasco....

Q: How to use late binding to invoke method with ByRef parameters

AdamI have a COM component that I want to call using late-binding from VB.NET (using the painful Primary Interop Assembly - PIA method) My IDL signature for the COM method looks like: HRESULT Send([in]BSTR bstrRequestData, [out]VARIANT *pvbstrResponseData, [out]VARIANT *pv...

vb.net com-interop late-binding
> 0x80020010 | DISP_E_BADCALLEE | Invalid callee.
Descriptive as always, @MSFT!

Might be related to the August update, which is known to have broken VBA code that had been working for years without problems. That said... IMO inlining the OnAction like this feels like a hack anyway, puts executable code in a string literal (no compile-time validation), and simply feels downright lazy. What's wrong with setting OnAction to an actual procedure that can be easily debugged and extended? — Mathieu Guindon 3 mins ago
@this if that were the case, wouldn't restarting Access have no effect?

True but it also might be a matter of just calling it at right wrong time.

FWIW, that should be made into another template(s?) Create Interface + Class API
hmm and if we had '@Interface("Class1") RD could automatically refresh the interface to conform to the Class1's public members. No need to manually refactor....

This .net core hype is making me nervous
 
this
this
@MathieuGuindon that's not 100% accurate
there is some COM support within .NET core
and judging from what I see, the gaps are mainly because "we don't have enough time to close it" rather than "we aren't doing it, period"
I think we'll be on .NET FX for a good while at least.

@M.Doerner / @MathieuGuindon I'm wondering about the old issue regarding the InvokeShutdown. From what I see, we only actually use the Dispatcher in the Extension and Setting.
I'm thinking that if we use an alternate approach, we wouldn't even need to invoke shutdown since we never use it. I thought UiDispatcher used it internally but it does not look like it's the case.
Thoughts?

What's the old issue abt InvokeShutdown again?
 
this
this
Judging from this blog's section about DefaultThreadCurrentCulture, it should be possible to not have to touch Dispatcher, which means we don't then need to shutdown it.

Hm. If we don't need it, I think it should die.
worth a shot anyway

.net core will be ready for RD before RD needs .net core... net fx will be around for a few years yet, theyll have com sorted by then.
they can't afford to not support com properly, too much of windows is built on it.

Remember how fun COM interop was in .NET 2.0?

I think that's what core will go through for a while.

maybe... till now core has been the newcomer. v3 is where it goes mainstream and net fx starts towards obselesence.
 
this

typically, it'll be two versions until something get obsolete.
so in theory we have until v5 for them to get COM interop all right.
OOOORRRR they might say, aw screw it, and write a new OS

just that its where the innovation is going to be. our company lives or dies by gaining small edges on the market.

sounds awfully risky to me

meh, if one of our products doesnt take well to it it'll stay on net fx. but otherwise we roll forward.
some of our services are already core 2.2, its been fine.

yeah - it's just that I don't like the idea of constantly bumping versions just to win one more customer. I'm basically gambling on the provider to not screw up
For that reason, I stay a version behind. #BeltsAndSuspenders
