Very useful for us beginners.

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

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.

  • Network communication error.
    5 Posts | Last Post October 25, 2011
    • 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.
  • Clearing the filter

    • Hi,
      
      On the "Search code samples" page, there are 4 filters: "Newest", "Downloading", "Favorites" and "Mine".
      Once I click on one of the filters - there's no way to go back and browse through all the samples again.
      
      Thanks,
      Sagy
      
      
      
    • Hi Sagyla
      
      For now, you will need to click the "search" button next to the search textbox to start a new search.  But I agree with you that it's not very obvious and even not very convenient.  What about this design change:  when user click "newest", the search result will show newest samples.  When user clicks "newest" again, the search result is restored to the last search.  Do you think that it'll be a better experience? 
  • How is this uninstalled?

    • At least on my copy of VS2010, I don't see a uninstall button associated with this extension.
      
      How is this extension uninstalled?
    • Hi Frank
      
      This extension can be uninstalled in the Extension Manager of the Visual Studio Tools menu.  
      
      We appreciate it if you could give us feedback about the extension.  We never stop improving the extension to better serve customers' needs. 
      
      Thanks

  • Configuration Window No Close Action
    1 Posts | Last Post October 13, 2011
    • The configuration window that prompts for a location for the code to live doesn't have a close action, and when you close the window from the task bar it immediately opens again.  Can we have a close button please for the times that we accidentally open the configuration window via "Search Code Sample" on the context menu.
  • i have a problem.

      "Open" does not work.
      
      The following message appears. 
      
      "The code sample has been moved. You need to download the sample again"
      -------
      Visual Studio 2010 sp1 - korean
    • I tried to reproduce what you mentioned, I downloaded code and removed manually, then I click "Open",
      I can see the warning "The code sample has been moved. You need to download the sample again", but the "Open" button changes back to "Download" again to ask for downloading when the warning message disappear, is it the same on your side?
