(v1.4) It is probably a good tool when it works, but for me it does not work behind an authenticating proxy and crashes when trying to open the samples which were downloaded from the site manually. Opened a ticket on this issue.

  • 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!!!

    • 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.
