Summary of code for vb.net?

[Sam Marrocco]

Any free utilties for giving summaries of vb.net projects? Things like number of comments lines, total number of lines, procedures, etc....?

Our own VolteFace has the following sample to offer....

Thanks Robby--that's exactly what I was looking for!

Thanks to VolteFace, it's his work.

I get "The zipped folder is invalid or corrupted." Anything else I can try?

A different tool to open the archive? It worked fine for me just now.

Thanks. I tried downloading it with Firefox and it worked OK. But I get the feeling it's going to take a lot of time to get it up and running. When I try to build (which I think I have to do to be able to register the add-in) I get messages "Cannot implicitly convert type object to Microsoft.Office.Core.CommandBarControl." An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)."

 

I'm sure I could figure it out, but knowing how many lines are in my code is not that high a priority...

Actually, although I don't understand C#, the offending lines look pretty straightforward. One reads

 

_CommandBars commandBars = applicationObject.CommandBars;

 

And the other is pretty similar. I think I just need to know how to do a cast (the equivalent of CType) in C#, or to turn Option Strict off in this project. In VB you can select this on the Compile tab of the project properties, but I can't see anything similar in this (C#) project. Can anyone tell me what I should be doing?

C# doesn't have the ability to turn of type checking, a cast is performed by putting the desired type in parenthesis before the type to be casted. e.g.

Dim b as Button = DirectCast(sender, Button)

in c# would be

Button b = (Button) sender;

Thanks, it compiles now. But it compiles to a dll whereas an existing add-in that I have is a "Visual Studio Add-in Definition File" in My Documents/Visual Studio 2005/Add-ins. I can copy the dll into this folder, but it doesn't show up in the Add-in Manager. Any thoughts?
