You can try the Text Macros for Visual Studio 2012-2019 extension (I am the author). It basically does the same thing as the Notepad++ macros (text editing, no UI automation). The code is open source (GitHub), so feel free to contribute improvements 🙂
Possibly you are not passing JSON to DeserializeObject. It looks like from File.WriteAllText(tmpfile,… that type of tmpfile is string that contain path to a file.

That way you don’t need VS2015 or an updated build server. https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Net.Compilers/ Install-Package Microsoft.Net.Compilers The package allows you to use/build C# 6.0 code/syntax. Because VS2013 doesn’t natively recognize the new C# 6.0 syntax, it will show errors in the code … Read more

Dependency walker development seemingly halted long before that, and it can’t handle API sets properly. So these are all false alarms and nothing to worry about. You’re not missing anything.

The best solution is to acknowledge the asynchronous nature of the download and design for it. In other words, decide what your application should look like while the data is downloading. Have the page constructor set up that view, and start the download. When the download completes update the page to display the data. I … Read more
PIAs are a historical artifact, required only by old .NET versions (before v4). They have been thoroughly and elegantly replaced by the “Embed Interop Types” feature, also known as the “No PIA” feature. Supported since Visual Studio 2010, you’ll find it back in the Properties window when you select a reference assembly. It defaults to … Read more
The premise of the question is wrong because it is based on a misunderstanding. C++’s auto is a compile time construct. It cannot infer a type based on runtime information. In your example, the type of z in this code is float: auto z = a/b; This is because that is the type of the … Read more
