The .NET BotBuilder SDK has deprecated the StateClient class, leaving some to wonder how they should access their bot’s state. Premier Developer Consultant Ben Williams shares an example of using dependency injection in your BotFramework projects.When using the .NET BotBuilder SDK’s dialog system, you can access the bot state using the dia

Update to Visual C++ 2012 Debugger launch extension template

Andrew ArnottJune 8, 2012Jun 8, 201206/8/12

A few days ago I posted about an updated Visual C++ 2012 debugger extensibility project template. Since then, I realized it had a couple of issues that prevented it from working out of the box. With those fixed, I also added a demonstration of how to read project properties that aren’t specifically dedicated to debugger suppo

In Visual Studio 2012 we’ve changed the way the Common Project System (aka “CPS”) emits trace messages so below I introduce an updated xml snippet that works in Visual Studio 2012. Since CPS is now the project system driving JavaScript

Why you should never use TCHAR in C++ header files

Andrew ArnottFebruary 22, 2008Feb 22, 200802/22/08

In C++, TCHAR, LPCTSTR, CString, and other types discretely change to their char/WCHAR, CStringA/CStringW counterparts depending on whether UNICODE is defined in your source code. Cool. By conscientiously using _countof(x) instead of sizeof(x) where appropriate and TCHAR's everywhere instead of char/WCHAR, you can write code that w
