# RE: CopySourceAsHtml (Updated)

Peter: I'm planning to release CSAH 1.2.4 for VS.NET 2005 next week. CSAH 1.2.4 supports both inline styles (<p style="...">) and internal stylesheets (<style>) but not external stylesheets.

# RE: CopySourceAsHtml (Updated)

for some reason, I'm getting this exception when I use "Copy as HTML..." from the right click menu in CopySourceAsHtml 1.2.4:

---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
CopySourceAsHtml caught the following exception:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException: The requested clipboard operation failed.

at System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard.SetDataObject(Object data, Boolean copy)

at JTLeigh.Tools.CopySourceAsHtml.Clipboard.SetHtml(String html)

at JTLeigh.Tools.CopySourceAsHtml.Connect._Copy(Boolean now)
---------------------------
OK

Hmm. Now it's magically working. Maybe something had the clipboard locked; I've seen MS Word do that before. :P

Let me guess, you're using it under VPC, right? I've been meaning to fix that bug for even longer than I've been meaning to make a VS.NET 2005 version.

any chance we're going to get CopySourceAsHTML for VS2005? You can see from all the screen shots of code, in my blog, that i desperately need it. :)

hey Collin - I spent a few hours today learning the major differences between VS2003 and VS2005 plugins, and I've successfully ported CSAH over to VS2005 (though I have not created an installer yet). send me an email (remove the "NOSPAMME"), and i'll package it up into a .zip file for ya.

some of the code is a bit hackish, truthfully. i'm a VB.NET developer, and this is the first c# app that i've actually modified and compiled (i've known how to read c# for the 4 years it's been out, but have never needed to use it for an app)... I'll try to clean it up a bit before i send it to you... should be pretty easy.

Any chance of an official VS2005 release?

# RE: CopySourceAsHtml (Updated)

How is it coming with that VS2005 version?

Dear All

Here is what I had to do to get Colin's very useful addin to work with VS 2005.

- edit connect.cs as follows
- add a reference to Microsoft.VisualStudio.CommandBars.dll
- replace "using Microsoft.Office.Core;" with "using Microsoft.VisualStudio.CommandBars;"
- Cast all expressions such as (CommandBars) _application.CommandBars )["Edit"]
- Rebuild
- Copy the addins registry entries into VS2005.
sth like :
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Addins\CopySourceAsHtml.Connect]
"CommandLineSafe"=dword:00000000
"CommandPreload"=dword:00000001
"LoadBehavior"=dword:00000003
"FriendlyName"="CopySourceAsHtml"
"Description"="CopySourceAsHtml"

Hope this helps beginners (like me ;-)

I keep getting the same System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException
as mentioned in the comments above, and yes I am using from a VPC.
Being that many people develop on VPC's nowadays have you been anble to fix this issue for VS2005?
