CustomAttribute issues

Visual Studio Freezes when the CustomAttribute window is not focused

1. To replicate this issue open up the custom attributes window.

   

2. Now with the custom attributes window open, click on the "Visual Studio" icon on the taskbar to minimize Visual Studio.

   

3. Now when you open visual studio again, it will appear frozen.

Code Generation for CustomAttributes incorrect

Code will be the best way to explain the issue :)

// incorrect generated code
[System.ComponentModel.Description(description="Additional Notes")]

// should be
[System.ComponentModel.Description(description: "Additional Notes")]

Tested Using

• Windows 8
• Visual Studio 2012
• Lightspeed 5.0.2452

Thanks for reporting the issue with the dialog window, Ill look into getting a fix out for this soon.

In terms of the custom attributes, you are looking to use named argument syntax where as the editor only supports property based assignment so this is why there is a disconnect. For now we are not intending to change this but as workaround you can implement custom behaviour to support this by customising your project templates - this blog post has details about how to set this up: http://www.mindscapehq.com/blog/index.php/2009/09/16/customising-lightspeed-entity-templates/

OK, thanks for that Jeremy.

We have added a fix for the issue with the dialog window and this will be available in the next nightly build.
