Very useful for us beginners.

Awesome, streamlined tool that makes it super easy to download sample projects. No more zip files! Yes!

by Aleksey Vlasenko | January 02 2013

Like it a lot. Only question - why did you add controls to standard toolbar instead of creating a separate one?
I don't need it all the time, and there is no way to remove it.

Gets the job done! I installed it. Looked up the appbar XAML C# sample for WinRT. Copied. Pasted. Runs. Never left the IDE.

This is definitely a "must-have" for every developers in Visual Studio!! It gives me really easy access to thousands of code samples. The Sample Browser also saves me a lot of time to save my downloaded projects.

Cool tools

by Graham P Cottle | September 11 2012

Am I really going to have to update the extension on a daily basis? That seems to be a horrid waste of time.

  • How do you remove the Search bar from the 'Standard' Toolbar in VS2012?
    4 Posts | Last Post March 14, 2013
    • The 'Search Code Samples' bar takes up a lot of space that I'd like to reclaim.  As this is added to the 'Standard' toolbar, I cannot find a means to remove it.  Just being able to look for samples using the FILE menu application is good enough for me.  So... How can I remove this toolbar add-on?
    • Go to Tools/Customize... select Commands tab, then select Toolbar and choose Standard from drop-down menu. You can now delete Search Code Samples from the Controls pane.
    • I've deleted them from the Standard Toolbar.
      How do I add them to Main Menu bar, next the Help menu?
    • I am in the same boat as Kobus - I want to be able to move the extension commands from the main toolbar to one of their own. I know you can delete them from the Standard Toolbar, but I cannot seem to find them in the list of commands to add to a toolbar through Customize. Am I missing something?
  • When will logging in be supported?

    • I would like to be able to login so that the items I have marked as favorites online would be available on whatever machine I am running the All-In-One Samples Browser.  Thanks!!!
  • Digital Signature mismatch

    • While updating, a message box appears with an "Update version has an invalid signature" message.
    • Hello Anton
      Could you please let me know the version number of Sample Browser VS Extension installed in your environment?  You can find the version number in Visual Studio / Extension Manager / Installed Extension / Select Sample Browser Visual Studio Extension. 
    • Hi Jialiang,
      
      I don't remember it. I solved this problem with removing the Sample Browser version and installing it again from scratch.
      
      Now it's 5.815 and so I think if you take some earlier version you can reproduce the problem.

    • Can I search samples offline?  I sometimes do not have network access when I'm in work.
    • hi michaelguth
      Offline search is the key feature that we are working on.  It will become available in the next version. :)

  • Sample Browser doesn't open in VS2010
    2 Posts | Last Post October 30, 2011
    • When I click on "Search Code Sample" only the external Sample Browser opens.
    • SOLVED! I had to drag & drop the Sample Browser window to the tabbar in Visual Studio.
  • Network communication error.

    • Using IE proxy settings does not work. IE is configured using automatic configuration using pac resource and the proxy requires authentication.
    • Could you please try again?  There was a network issue on the server side around May 13th.  Do you still see the problem today?
    • Is there a network issue today as well?
      With or without using IE proxy i get "A network error occurred. Please try configuration proxy and check network connectivity"
      
    • I also have the same problem with the Proxy not working using IE's Proxy Setting and IE set to 'Automatically Detect Settings' both checked and unchecked.  I'm using IE9.
    • Hello
      
      You can try out our newly released sample browser vs extension.  In the new version, we allow users to directly input the proxy raw settings.
