I've been asked to create a Custom Designer for Visual Studio. In this designer a programmer can create/edit Forms with controls and position them. The input and result will be used and compiled by an external system (Sesam i've been told but never heard of it) The format will be in XML. The question is, where do I start, is it even feasible to create a Custom Designer? You can create custom designers, but how you go about it depends on your requirements. If you're lucky, you can get away with a simple extension which handles editing certain types of files, such as the Snippet designer You can

I'm trying to get the compilation args for each compilation unit so I can create the " compilation_commands.json " for my vcxproj that can be used with clang's libTooling. The libTooling tutorial suggests using a CompilationDatabase to provide the compilation args for all the cpp files in a project. The tutorial shows that CMake can generate the compilation_commands.json for CMake based projects. Since clang can be put into "MSVC mode" via clang.exe --driver-mode=cl or clang-cl.exe my thought was if I could get the compilation args for each cpp file in my VS2012 project I can create the

I know this is a very broadly scoped question, but what do I need to know to begin creating a branded, custom IDE for course-ware using the VS Shell in isolated mode. Very little useful info on this beast is available through searches, so I'm hoping for some tips and references from gurus that have been through the apparently difficult exercise of using this foundation. You can start over here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vsx/default.aspx Here you have a basic example of how to build an isolated shell: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb685514.aspx If you redo the walkthrough you

I have Visual Studio 2010 Ulitmate (with MSDN Premium), but I can't seem to find this file. I have tried installing the Visual Studio SDK but I can't seem to find the file. I have looked in: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5 C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\SDK\v3.5 But I can't seem to find it. (In case you are wondering, I need it to perform these steps .) user213702 it should be under C:\Program Files (x86)\MicrosoftSdks\Windows\v7.0a\Bin . You should be able to use wsdl from visual studio command prompt and typing path

The Microsoft link here lists three methods that we can use. But how do we get the current namespace? I see there is a similar question, but the answer to that is using Macros, which doesnt solve this specific question. The NameSpace() to do something like this: <CodeSnippets xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/2005/CodeSnippet"> <CodeSnippet Format="1.0.0"> <Header> . . </Header> <Snippet> <Declarations> <Literal> <ID>namespace</ID> <Function>NameSpace()</Function> </Literal> </Declarations> <Code Language="csharp"> <![CDATA[ $namespace$ ]]> </Code> </Snippet> </CodeSnippet> <

I would like to run a script after files with certain extensions are saved in visual studio. I am wondering where the event handler for saving a file is located in the Visual Studio SDK API. Can anyone point me in the right direction in terms of API documentation for visual studio extensions. I have found the Visual Studio SDK Reference but some direction or sample examples would be helpful. I want to create partial designer files that are usually generated when the project is built (Mono for Android Project), my files will have temporary values, but are only intended to enable intellisense
