@dave : in many cases the effect will not be seen by developer or harm them like using tools.installwebcontrols or installcommunitycontrols .

@Sergey: may be its shortcut in my Visual studio 2012 is Ctrl+W+A , but you can find "command windows" in : View menu => Other windows => command windows, may be your setting is different from mine.

@Dave: I need to run tools command like tools.customize like when we can type it by opening command windows by pressing Ctrl+W+A

when developer pressed ctrl+w+a command windows appears and I need to run tools there.

@Dave, your solution was fantastic, I really appreciate your help and all your support, you nice guys make programming interesting ;)

@Dave: thanks a lot for forwarding me to that nice link, but as I am targeting older versions of .net ( 3.5 ) to support older versions of VS, unfortunately I can not use it.
let me explain why I need this solution, as I am using VS2012 and can not create a VSpackage that can be used in older versions of visual studio, I need to solve the problem by using the above method, do you know a solution for that to omit this one?
do you have any recommendation?

@Dave:this is the code that I have to use in the constructor of control:
EnvDTE.DTE dte = (EnvDTE.DTE)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("VisualStudio.DTE");
string VisualStudioVersion = dte.Version;

Thanks for your comment,
your solution is useful to understand the location of my solution but I need to detect the version of visual studio that the other developers are using while using my control.

@Dave, Sorry I was out for a while, as I told above, its an extension.
I am using Visual studio 2012 pro.

@Dave, Thanks for your comment, I need it as I need it in my control, but most of the times I get error : "Call was rejected with the callee ( exception from HRResult :.... ) .

@Sergey, I have developed a control that it will be used through IDE, I used dte.Edition but I get error :"Call was rejected with the callee ( exception from HRResult :.... ) most of the times.
All I want to do is to find out the path pointing to visual studio in my document of the developer who is running the control

Thanks for consideration, I meant Visual studio 2012, no i don't need it when running from command line, but from IDE

Thanks for your reply, but your solution must be set manually,
I found a command to check it:
System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached

I Appreciate your comment, I thought designmode is useful when you want to detect when the project is running through Visual studio or not, Is there any property to show that?

Thanks for your comment,I have already used PackageRegistrationAttribute in my source as the following, but when running vsix on VS2010 it gives error for manifest , now I want to target the vspackage for .Net4 but its impossible.

[PackageRegistration(UseManagedResourcesOnly = true)]

[InstalledProductRegistration("#110", "#112", "1.0", IconResourceID = 400)]

[Guid(GuidList.strGuidDesigner)]

[MSVSIP.DefaultRegistryRoot("Software\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\10.0")]

[ProvideToolboxItems(111)]
public sealed class DesignerPackage : Package

Thanks Sergey for your comment,
I am thinking to prepare my software to work in thin client environments, where the client boots up without having local hard disk.

Hi Marcus,
I know the problem is because of the differentiation of their resolution, but how I can create an image file with the same quality of using e.graphics for later printing.
Thanks

Thanks Mike for your comments and Kindly sending your changed source codes.
I tested it , after using it I have better quality but there is two major problems:
1) after using it the size of the text is bigger than the size that I need to print.
2) the quality is still not the same as when using e.graphics
Do you know how I can use e.graphics and then make an image file from it and later on when deciding to print , print it directly or through e.graphics for having good quality?
THanks in advance

Thanks a lot Sergey,
The reason I asked is my lack of knowledge in c# understanding your comment, anyway I will do my best to find it out and thanks for your time.

Hi Sergey
Thanks a lot for your answer, would you please send a simple project that writes a simple text on e.graphic and saves it on a file and fetch it from the file.
the reason that i can't use print document is this that when there is too many pages to print it will slow down.
I appreciate that.

Dear muhtarqong
Please let me have your final opinion, as the problem still exists
Thanks

HiThank you for your kind reply, the user selects the font size but you assume 10pt and the image size is the same as paper size.

please let us have your sample code to do it.
Many thanks

Thanks Bob
The problem with the printdocument is this : when the number of pages increases it will slow down,

please let me know if I use larger bitmap size how I can scale it to fit on paper?

Thank you for you reply.

After creating larger image size the only thing that happens is smaller word size in larger area , I have tried it before but unsuccessful

HiThank you for your kind reply, I used antialias and also cleartypeGridfit but they made showing the words worse in the image, the following is part of the code:

MyBitmap =new System.Drawing.Bitmap(GetMaxWidthOfReport(), MyActualPageSizeInfo.Height);

MyGraphics =System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(MyBitmap);

Mygraphics.TextContrast = 4; // Default: [4], Must be between 0 - 12
Mygraphics.PageUnit = System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Display; // Default: [Display]
Mygraphics.SmoothingMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.AntiAlias; // Default: [None]
Mygraphics.PixelOffsetMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality; // Default: [Default]
Mygraphics.CompositingMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.CompositingMode.SourceOver; // Default: [SourceOver]
Mygraphics.CompositingQuality = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.CompositingQuality.HighQuality; // Default: [Default]
Mygraphics.InterpolationMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBilinear; // Default: [Bilinear]

Mygraphics.TextRenderingHint = System.Drawing.Text.TextRenderingHint.ClearTypeGridFit;

what is the difference between them

Dear Friends,

The software is being sold overseas and in a country that for security reasons some of them have not connected their computer to the internet.

Hi Walt,

Thank you for your comment, What I meant by resource is reverse engineering to find my .net source files from the exe.

But As you said I need a licensing software too and there are a lot of them , do you have any experience from any of them, which one is more secure?

Thanks

Hi john,

As you said there are a lot of them but please let me know which of them is more secure and their crack is not available .

Thanks again

The Reason that I ask is to know your experience of the successful ones and the one not to be hacked.
