I found somewhere that I can use Visual Studio Code to view PDFs.
The extension used is "PDF Viewer".
Visual Studio Code allows multiple panes open to see more than one document at a time. This is the main reason I use it.
I also wanted to have the capability to extract specific pages to images (or copy a page as an image ... but this probably isn't possible).
How can this be done, in Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio?
I'm not a coder or developer, please simplify response.
Thanks.

I don't feel as if what I'm asking is ridiculous. Would I be able to import an image of any kind (png, jpeg, etc) into visual studio and then define regions/hotspots to code as buttons? It would kind of be like an expression blend/silverlight thing but if I already had the design in an image format and I just need to put code behind it.
Expression Studio contains tools that can meet your requirements,
http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/Design_WhatIsExpressionDesign.aspx
For example, by using Design, you can import existing images and export XAML directly, which can later be used in your Visual Studio/Expression Blend projects.
You have to use such separate tools, such as Visual Studio does not have such features built in.
I have done this with an imagemap and hotspots over button graphics in an image the aspx page.
I have an excel file that I would like to load into my form and display there. Is there any way to do this? Sorry I am fairly new at visual studio as well as visual basic. If anybody could help me out with this it would be great thanks.
There are several options - all involve some additional library:
OpenXML 2.0 (free library from MS) can be used to read/modify the content of an .xlsx so you can display it anyway you want (for example in a data grid view)
some (commercial) 3rd-party libraries come with grid controls allowing you to display excel files in your application (be it Winforms/WPF/ASP.NET...) like SpreadsheetGear, Aspose.Cells etc.
I have a custom tool "NafestisGenerator" of which I need to apply to every ".ntf" file. The question is, how do I tell visual studio (using the Custom tool Generator sample from Microsoft) to use the "NafestisGenerator" custom tool on every ".ntf" file?
I'm pretty sure (87%) that you do this in Windows Explorer.
I notice that if I double-click a .DOC file in my project, it fires up Microsoft Word. Similarly, double-click on an .XLSX file and it fires up Excel.
So, register .NTF as an extension that your tool handles. Then, when you double-click on an .NTF file in VS, it will fire up your tool.
I have written some Makros and Functions in VB all code works fine behind my Document.
To save my code and make it available to other users I want to create a COM-add-in for VIsio.
So i bought Visual Studio 2008 and I want to import my code to it.
Is it possible to include my exported .cls file to my Visual Studio COM-Add-on Projekt?
Classes in Visual Studio are the same plain text files with a .cs extension (as opposed to cls), so you could create a new class in your project, and copy over your code from VBA.
I have an .xsd, .vb, .xsc, and .xss file for a dataset in Visual Studio 2008 that I copied over from another Visual Studio project, however I need to make changes to the dataset. Thus I got into the XSD file, created new columns, deleted ones that aren't needed, etc., etc. However I realized when I attempted to use the new dataset I did not have the Visual Basic code behind the scenes. This code is typically found in dataset.designer.vb. When I copied the old one over of course it was no longer valid since columns changed.
How I can force Visual Studio 2008 to use a .xsd file and to have it create/update its designer code?
You just have to exclude your .xsd file and include it again. It will regenerate your designer.vb file.
I don't know if this is still a common problem for others, but I did find an answer (I think). Click the .xsd file in Solution Explorer. Update the "Custom Tool" property to "MSDataSetGenerator". This will automatically regenerate the *.Designer.vb file.
You can right click the .xsd file and select 'Run Custom Tool' to regenerate the dataset.designer.vb file.
THANKS for the help, in the end I JUST was able to get a dataset.vb file generated using the xsd.exe tool. It works for now, however, I still think something isn't set right in Visual Studio 2008 or at least the "Generate Dataset" menu option from the context menu on an XSD file is gone.
I'll just need to remember that if I modify the XSD file from here on out that Visual Studio isn't updating the .vb file automatically, I'll probably get stuck with reusing the xsd.exe program.
For others the command is (using Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt Window Tool, in Admin mode if using Windows Vista).
xsd.exe /d /l:VB "XSD FILE LOCATION PATH"
/d means create a dataset code. /l is the language.
The .vb file will be created in C:\Windows\System32.
Unfortunately, this is in the gray area of things things that I can do when I need to, but I haven't needed to do enough to impart the knowledge to others.
All I know is that *.designer.vb means that this code was generated by Visual Studio, and if it generated it once it can do it again. Additionally, the very few times (maybe twice, both in Visual Studio 2005) that I have done this, it seemed like it was as simple as adding the *.xsd file to Solution Explorer. If that alone doesn't do it, try showing all files or right/double clicking on the *.xsd.
Just delete the extra designer.vb file created when u add the xsd file.
