Creating new theme in orchard with codegeneration module

I was following the documentation on this OrchardProject.net link. I opened have activated the CodeGeneration module and opened the command prompt at the root of the project (Orchard.Web) and write "bin/Orchard.exe" for running the commands. Till then everything is fine. Now when I try to run the following command, it gives me the below exception. The command is:
codegen theme mishrajiTheme /BasedOn:TheThemeMachine /CreateProject:true /IncludeInSolution:true
Below is the output of the command.

What I am doing wrong here or It is a bug in Orchard code generation module.
Please guide. I am using Orchard 1.10 version.

I solved this problem by changing the CodeGenerationCommands Class in line 434 in Orchard 1.10. the line is :
solutionText = solutionText.Insert(solutionText.LastIndexOf("EndProject\r\n"), projectReference);
to this :
solutionText = solutionText.Insert(solutionText.LastIndexOf("EndProject\n"), projectReference);
i don't know why by \r\n can not found the final EndProject and by changing that to \n it works fine

The line of code in question that has failed is this:
solutionText = solutionText.Insert(solutionText
.LastIndexOf("EndProject\r\n"),projectReference)
.Replace("GlobalSection(ProjectConfigurationPlatforms) = postSolution\r\n",
projectConfiguationPlatforms);
If solutionText.LastIndexOf("EndProject\r\n") doesn't find anything it will return -1 - see the MSDN docs here.
It looks like that is then being passed to the string.Insert which is an invalid out of index.
The only thing that I can think is that your git client or however you got your hands on the orchard source has somehow changed the line endings in the file so it can't find the \r\n.
I'm guessing you are from the indian subcontinent, is your OS running a non-english language? I don't think that the .sln file localises fields like EndProject and I don't think Windows varies its newline character representation but something is going wrong here.
Workaround Solution
This is the very last thing that the codegen theme command does, it has created everything else and just failed to add your project into the Orchard.sln. To get moving right now you can just add it to your solution:
In visual studio, open solution explorer window
Right click on your Themes solution folder
Click Add | Existing project
Navigate to the folder and select your new theme
Potential Bug
It seems like there could be a bug here. Would you be willing to post your .sln file to me via email so I can investigate it further?

t4 templte is located outside of directory of target project

at one solution,t4 template file was in Frame.Model project
var path = solutionPath+#"\Frame.Service\Interface\"+config.FileName;
config.Output.Encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
config.RenderToFile(path);
This will generate code to another project,but wrong,
message:
*13 Output file D:\Code\Frame.Web\Frame.Service\Interface\IUser.generated.cs is located outside of directory of target project
D:\Code\Frame.Web\Frame.Model\Frame.Model.csproj
D:\Code\Frame.Web\Frame.Model\T4\EntityCodeScript.tt 1 1 Frame.Model*
when I change to:
var path = solutionPath+#"\Frame.Model\Interface\"+config.FileName;
That successes, why can't generate file in diffrence project?
how do? thk!!!
sorry i am enlish is very bad , i hope you can know whats this

you need to add template.Output.Project. check this article .

Changing SSIS package in C# causing LoadFromXML fail

I am attempting to create a copy of an existing dtsx file so I can change a few variables based on input from the user. I am able to make a copy of the file, look at the variables, and set the variables to the correct input. However, when I go to look at the file in Visual Studio I get a few errors.
Microsoft Visual Studio is unable to load this document: The package failed to load to to error 0xC0010014 "One or more error occurred. There should be more specific errors preceding this one that explains the details of the errors. This message is used as a return value from functions that encounter errors". This occurs when CPackage::LoadFromXML fails.
The errors contained in the error list:
Error 3 Error loading test.dtsx: Error loading value "<DTS:Property xmlns:DTS="www.microsoft.com/SqlServer/Dts" DTS:Name="PackageFormatVersion">6</DTS:Property>" from node "DTS:Property". E:\test.dtsx 1 1
The version number in the package is not valid. The version number cannot be greater than current version number.
I looked into these errors and I saw potential issues with the server year and visual studio year. Both of these are the 2008 version.
My code:
string pkgPath = #"\\server\TestFolder\test.dtsx"
app = new Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application();
pkg = app.LoadPackage(pkgPath, null);
Console.WriteLine(pkg.Variables["filename"].Value.ToString());
pkg.Variables["filename"].Value = "testFile";
Console.WriteLine(pkg.Variables["filename"].Value.ToString());
app.SaveToXml(pkgPath, pkg, null);
If I open the file I am using to make a copy of in Visual Studio, it works no problem -- something strange is happening when I do app.SaveToXML();
Any ideas or suggestion would be wonderful.

To run this as a process from DTEXEC, it would look something like below. Please check out these two links for further details about ProcessStartInfo and how to use /SET so you can add that to your argument. Test this from the command line first because the syntax can be finicky.

Using System.Diagnostics;
string args = #"/F'c:\MyPackage.dtsx' /SET'\package.variables[myvariable].Value;myvalue'";
ProcessStartInfo executePackage = new ProcessStartInfo("dtexec", args);

executePackage.RedirectStandardError = true;
executePackage.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
executePackage.CreateNoWindow = true;
StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
Process executing = Process.Start(executePackage);

output.AppendLine(executing.StandardOutput.ReadLine();

Uncheckout tfs file programmatically if not modified using C#

After searching the googles for couple hours I found an answer to my question. I know this post Undo checkout TFS answers my question, however it doesn't answer all the questions I have. I want to achieve the same objective that the post asked about. How to only revert files that have been checked out if nothing was modified in that file? The answer to my question shouldn't be too hard to answer.
So what I'm doing is copying files from a server and overwriting them in my local workspace. I am checking out all the files being copied. However, if a file that was copied is not modified in anyway(server file and destination file are exact same), I'd like to undo the checkout of that file.
I know I'm to use the workspace.Undo() method and the gentleman said it worked for him. However he didn't show how he implemented it.
Here is the code I have with help from the link:
public static void CheckOutFromTFS(string filepath)
{
var workspaceInfo = Workstation.Current.GetLocalWorkspaceInfo(filepath);
if (workspaceInfo == null)
{
return;
}
var server = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(workspaceInfo.ServerUri);
var workspace = workspaceInfo.GetWorkspace(server);
workspace.PendEdit(filepath);
}
The answer given was to use the workspace.Undo() method. Do I add this method as the last line in CheckOutFromTFS() like so?
public static void CheckOutFromTFS(string filepath)
{
var workspaceInfo = Workstation.Current.GetLocalWorkspaceInfo(filepath);
if (workspaceInfo == null)
{
return;
}
var server = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(workspaceInfo.ServerUri);
var workspace = workspaceInfo.GetWorkspace(server);
workspace.PendEdit(filepath);
workspace.Undo();
}
Or is it done differently? I'm not sure if this Undo() will only revert files if there are no changes or just revert the checkout entirely and render the PendEdit() useless. Can someone help clarify this for me?

If you use a local workspace then all file that have no changes will automatically revert to not checked-out. You don't need to do anything at all. This works with VS 2012 or better with TFS 2012 or better. You'll need to convert you workspace to a local workspace first like this

So I found the answer to my question in various posts. I kinda took bits an pieces and combined them together to get my working solution. The use of the Undo() function with passing in the filepath actually does uncheckout the file regardless if it was modified or not. My workspace was also local but VS and TFS couldn't automatically revert those unmodified files for me so I took the below approach.
So what I decided to do was to just use the Team Foundation Power Tools "uu" command to undo the changes to unchanged files in the workspace. I created a batch file and entered the following command: echo y | tfpt uu . /noget /recursive. Since we will not show the shell during execution, I used the "echo y" command to automatically answer the question, "Do you wish to undo these redundant pending changes? (Y/N)". Including /noget is highly recommended since it prevents a forced 'get latest' of all your project's files which depending on the total number can take a extremely long time.
var startInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo
{
WorkingDirectory = projectRoot,
FileName = projectRoot + #"\undoUnchanged.bat",
UseShellExecute = false,
CreateNoWindow = true
};
Process process = Process.Start(startInfo);
process.WaitForExit();
process.Close();
After the script runs and the process.Close() executes you and double check if your unmodified files actually were unchecked out by hitting the refresh button on the Team Explorer window in your project. Hope someone else can find some use in this.

If I understand the question well and you actually need undo through C# code behind, I believe this shoul help you:

Adding existing project into new VS2012 solution programmatically fails

We have the following code in wizard to add existing project to a new solution:
//generating files
if (dte.Solution.Projects.Count < 1) // Solution is empty or doesn't exist
{
dte.Solution.Create(oneFolderHigher(Params.OutputDir, solutionName),
solutionFileName(solutionName));
}
// adding created project to solution
dte.Solution.AddFromFile(Path.Combine(Params.ProjectRootFolder,
Params.ProjectName + ".csproj"));
It works just fine under MS Visual Studio 2010, but fails under 2012 (I experimented with second parameter):
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004004): Operation aborted (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004004 (E_ABORT))
at EnvDTE.SolutionClass.AddFromFile(String FileName, Boolean Exclusive)
at Wizard.Generator.NewProjectGenerator.Generate(Action`1 logMessage)
at Wizard.Forms.WizardForm.Finish()
After this error I'm adding the new project to the solution manually and everything works OK. But we can not just say, "Sorry, we can not add newly generated project for you so please add it by yourself."
MSDN proposes:
You can use the LaunchWizard method rather than AddFromFile to execute a wizard if you want to suppress its UI during execution. LaunchWizard has a parameter that allows you to disable the UI.
But this method requires some wizard file, so it can not be a solution.
Could someone help?
Wizard is running from "New -> Project" menu.

Here the workaround for the issue (proposed by my boss):
Before adding the project to solution, project file should be converted to
VS2012 format.
But code is little ugly:
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(newFile))
using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(projectFile, false, Encoding.UTF8))
{
while (sr.Peek() >= 0)
{
string s = sr.ReadLine();
if (s.Contains("<Project ToolsVersion=\"4.0\""))
{
s = s + Environment.NewLine + importProject;
}
... and so on
Maybe someone knows the way to do it awesome? I mean converting. I'll let the question to be unanswered some time. Waiting for your comments.
