vsix

We have a solution for vsix projects. Until version 15.4 of visual studio packages were produced with newtonsoft.json.dll, however, since that version, newsoft were excluded from the package. For what I have seen, this is caused because "Microsoft.VsSDK.targets" located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v15.0\VSSDK\Microsoft.VsSDK.targets" has a new exclusion rule "" Our solution needs NewtonSoft, if I install vsix with VS >=15.5, regarding newtonsoft isn't in package, it fails requesting this assembly in %appdata%\microsoft

I wrote an extension for Visual Studio 2013. Because of bloody ComboBox bug , I had to include System.Windows.Interactivity to my project. To add more details: <Project> uses additional solution assembly, say <Project>.Editor, which contains the physical editor. <Project>.Editor references System.Windows.Interactivity <Project> references System.Windows.Interactivity as well. In fact, I'm using nuget to load Expression.Blend.Sdk package (it's compatible with WPF 4.5) Effect: When part of editor, which contains mentioned ComboBox displays, I immediately get an exception: A first chance

I am writing a Visual Studio extension which targets VS2010, VS2012, and VS2013. It runs and is initialized successfully in each Experimental Instance with no issues. When I install the VSIX generated by the build, it installs in all versions without a problem, but only in VS2010 does it actually execute. In the others it's never instantiated or initialized. There are no exceptions being thrown. Running the non-Experimental instance with the /log flag does not produce any other diagnostic information (other than confirming it is installed, and has a newer version than its counterpart already

When a user installs my extension, but does not have the latest Visual Studio update installed, the extension fails to resolve Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.dll with the followeing message: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp, Version=1.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. I made sure that the extension does in fact reference this assembly, and it does, but why would this assembly be excluded from the VSIX file? I renamed the VSIX file to a ZIP, looked at the contents, but this

I have a Visual Studio 2017 item template extension that is currently working with ASP.NET projects. It has the following .vstemplate: <VSTemplate Version="3.0.0" Type="Item" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/vstemplate/2005" xmlns:sdk="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/vstemplate-sdkextension/2010"> <TemplateData> <Name>Angular Component</Name> <Description>Files for an Angular component</Description> <RequiredFrameworkVersion>4.5</RequiredFrameworkVersion> <Icon>AngularComponentTemplate.ico</Icon> <ProjectType>CSharp</ProjectType> <ProjectSubType>Web</ProjectSubType>

I'd like to call some code from VSIX extension when visual studio loads a solution, how do I do that? Package::Initialize is called only when user presses a button of my addin first time. Try adding the following attribute to your VSPackage class: [ProvideAutoLoad(Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.UIContextGuids80.SolutionExists)] That will trigger your package to load when a solution is opened/created. Author asked about VS2010, so it should be: [ProvideAutoLoad(VSConstants.UICONTEXT.SolutionExists_string)] VSConstants sit in: \Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 SDK SP1\VisualStudioIntegration

We developed a "Custom Tool" type VSIX Visual Studio Extension in our company. This extension generates C# code from certain xml files. Right now I have a projects which produces the VSIX as the result of the build. Goal: I would like to also wrap this VSIX into a NuGet package, what my fellow developers can install onto their solution. So I'm searching for some kind of Project Template or something for that. Or it is even good if there's something which triggers the process in the existing project (which now produces the VSIX). I don't seem to find any template for that in Visual Studio (2013
