Edmx generate model file with blank lines - edmx

How can I configure the code Generation in VisualStudio 2015 using Database first to not generate extra blank lines in my model?
multiple people are working on this project and the source control system really don't like it :(
Maybe the solution could be to configure GIT to ignore white space?
see what the merge tool show me

It can be because of T4 file generator. Open with Notepad++ your emdx .tt file, go to Edit -> EOL Conversion -> Windows (CR LF).

Suggest any CSV editor plugin inside Eclipse to add new columns hustle free [between 2 of the existing columns]

I am using existing CSV editor available in eclipse, but which is adding new columns only at the end. If I want to add a new columns in the middle of existing columns, I need to edit in CSV source format type i.e. with comma separate format and feed all the data, which is very difficult.
I found one good utility tool. CSV pad.
Download this , it is helping me to add columns where ever i want, not only at the last.
Open the desired file from the location , then edit as you want, save it.
It wont effect the format. [you can direct open eclipse workspace testdata folder too from this tool and edit the input csv file].

Getting Minizinc output as .txt from IDE

Imagine I ran a .mzn with .dzn and got an output in IDE as follows:

Supplier02,200,200,200,200,200,200,200,200,200,200,200,200

Is there any way that I can generate this output in a .txt or .csv file in a preferred location on my computer? I know that we can perform this in command prompt, but is there any way we can do using the IDE it self?
The MiniZinc IDE currently does not include functionality to export solutions for other applications.
The current expectation is that if you want to integrate MiniZinc with other applications that you would use something like MiniZinc Python, iMiniZinc, or the command line tools, to facilitate the connection. In your case using MiniZinc Python or iMiniZinc might be a good solution since Python can generate csv files using the csv module. If you want to see and interact with the solution as well as outputting the csv file, then iMiniZinc can provide the right tooling in Jupyter Notebook to do both.
If you are very happy with the MiniZinc IDE and you want to continue using it, then the other option would to just minimize the inconvenience. Your output statement already provides the solution in csv style. So the only remaining part is making the file. The MiniZinc IDE can open .csv files. So my suggestion would in this case be to create an empty .csv file, open it in the IDE. Once you get the solution from your instance in the output window, then you copy directly into the file.

I downloaded my chrome bookmarks to move to a new computer and it saved as a XML instead of HTML - when I try to convert i get an error

I tried using several conversions -- I've used Altova and a couple of other free software options. I don't know how to add the XML file for you to view but would really appreciate some help!
When I use the Export Bookmarks option on Chrome browser, by default, the only option it allows is to save as an HTML file. If you did mistakenly save as an XML file, then using an XML editor like use probably used from Altova will most likely create more errors.
1) I'd suggest, you first right-click on the XML bookmarks file and go to Properties tab and see if you can restore the oldest, least-modified version of it.
2) Then simply try renaming the extension of the bookmarks file from .xml to .html to see if it now works.

CodedUI test does not read data from CSV input file

I am having difficulty mapping a CSV file with the Coded UI test method. This is most likely a stupid question but I cannot seem to find a solution for my problem, at least not one that works. I have made sure to set the property of the CSV file to Copy always.
I have also imported the CSV file by writing the following line above the test method.
[DataSource("Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.DataSource.CSV", "|DataDirectory|\\Data\\login.csv", "login#csv", DataAccessMethod.Sequential), DeploymentItem("login.csv"), TestMethod]
The file name is login.csv and it resides in the Data folder.
The test will compile without any problem but once the test executes the fields that should receive input from the CSV file are left empty and the execution is interrupted. I've tried replacing the data from the CSV file by using Strings and it works perfectly fine. The piece of code I am using to import each parameter is:
TestContext.DataRow["Username"].ToString()
Also, the CSV file contains something along the following lines:
Username,Password,Fullname
admin#mail.com,password,Admin
Is there anyone who can point what it is I am forgetting.
Update: I pinpointed the issue, it seems like the issue only revolves around the first column in the csv file. When I try to import any of the other values it works perfectly fine.
Some text files start with a Byte Order Mark (BOM). The CSV reader within Coded UI does not handle the BOM and treats it as part of the first field name. The screen shot below shows the debug trace of a CSV file with a BOM and that same file shown in Notepad++. The DataRow.ItemArray[...] values are as expected. The DataRow.Table.Columns.ResultsView[...] shows the field names, but the first field name includes the BOM.
This CSV file with a BOM was created in Visual Studio using Solution Explorer => Add => New item => C# => General => Text file. Previously I have created a spread sheet with Microsoft Excel and saved it as a CSV file, that file did not have a BOM. I have also created files with Notepad++ and saved as CSV and they did not have a BOM. It appears that Visual Studio creates files with a BOM but when editing CSV files it does not add a BOM.
Visual Studio can create files with the correct encoding. Within "Step 2 - Create a data set" of this Microsoft page it states the text below. (Thanks also to Holistic Developer for providing very similar details in a comment.):
It is important to save the .csv file using the correct encoding. On the FILE menu, choose Advanced Save Options and choose Unicode
(UTF-8 without signature) – Codepage 65001 as the encoding.
For Visaul Studio 2010, i could solve issue be selecting "Western European (Windows) - Codepage 1252" encoding for CSV files.
Summary of steps:
In visual studio 2010, Open CSV file > Go to File menu > Select " Advanced Save Options" > Select "Western European (Windows) - Codepage 1252" > Save.
This should help.
This is not the best solution but its kind of a workaround. I simply set the first element to something random and since I don't need access to the first element it doesn't matter that I don't have access to it.
If anyone finds a correct way to solve this problem I'd be grateful for your solution.

JSON Javascript highlighting in Visual Studio 2010

Does anybody know how to get VS 2010 to use the same highlighting for a file called .JSON as it uses for a JavaScript file? Just working on a client site and they've named all their JSON template files as .JSON, with the result that I just get a plain old text editor when I open it in Visual Studio. Any suggestions? I'm sure there must be an option somewhere that would do it but I can't find it so far...
Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> File Extension
End your extension 'json' and select 'Script Editor' and click 'add'.
Re-open any json documents for it to take affect.
Another option is to use Text Highlighter (extention for Visual Studio 2010), which offers syntax highlighting for the following text formats:
.json (also offer syntax validation)
.bat
.cmd
.ini
.txt
.log
Great news!
In CTP2 of Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 that was added a New JSON project item and editor
