vsix

I'm creating a VS2010 extension (let's call it MyExtension ). The UI for this extension is in a different assembly ( MyExtension.UI ), the extension project only contains boilerplate code to call the UI from the menu command. MyExtension.UI contains localized resources (e.g. fr\MyExtensions.UI.resources.dll ), but the VSIX package doesn't include these resources (although they are present in the bin\Debug directory). How should I tell VS to include these resources in the VSIX package? I looked in the .vsixmanifest designer, but I can't find the appropriate option... This is actually a bug that

I am currently working on a VS extension / add-in and I need to associate work items with the pending changes (without triggering a check-in). After searching for some hours I couldn't find a way to accomplish this via the API. The only way I found to associate a work item to the pending changes is Workspace.CheckIn() which also would trigger the check-in.. Do I miss something? Or is this really not possible? I have provided the sample code below, Note that, I have not tried this code, but it seems it is only possible through some reflection as there is no public method to achieve this in the

I'm trying to create a Visual Studio 2017 extension, just for fun and to learn how VS extensibility works. My extension must be usable from the Solution Explorer tab as a context menu button, but I would like to include it at a menu level that isn't root. My goal is to put it in the "Add" sub-menu, but at the moment I'm only able to put it at root level (when you right-click the Project item, the menu entry is shown as the last of the context menu control). How can I move it under the "Add" node? Can it be done from the CommandPlacement tags I have configured in my .vsct file? Use as parent of

I am developing a Visual Studio package and I have written some code that will make a file in Solution Explorer dependant upon another file. What this means is that it gives them the same relationship as code-behind files or designer files, where they appear nested under the parent file with a plus/minus icon. + MainForm.cs - MainForm.cs MainForm.Designer.cs MainForm.resx The code that I have written successfully and correctly modifies the underlying project file, however the change is not reflected in Solution Explorer until the project is closed and re-opened. I'm looking for some code that

I'm working on creating a Visual Studio 2017 custom Check-In Policy extension. My current solution is structured as follows: Note: I am taking advantage of the new NuGet PackageReference approach, which is why there is no packages.config file. I believe I have setup my VSIX manifest appropriately since everything works perfectly when I don't reference Microsoft.Net.Http (originally I was hard-coding in values instead of retrieving the values). I'm not sure why the Microsoft.TeamFoundationServer.ExtendedClient NuGet package being included doesn't cause any issues, whereas the Microsoft.Net.Http

We have a visual studio package (VS Package) that references a class library project (Project A). Project A in turn references another class library project (Project B). So the dependency structure looks like this: VS Package > Project A > Project B All projects exist inside the same solution and the dependencies have been set up as proper project references. If I build the package in visual studio and look in the bin/Debug folder all necessary assemblies are there including Project B's. However when the package is deployed, only Project A's assemblies are present and Project B's are missing.

How can I check/detect which Visual Studio version is running under my VSPackage? I cannot get from the registry because the computer could have several versions installed, so I guess there is an API that is able to get it. Anybody knows how to get it from a managed Visual Studio package using C#? You could try to get version via automation DTE object . In MPF you could get it in this way: EnvDTE.DTE dte = (EnvDTE.DTE)Package.GetGlobalService(typeof(EnvDTE.DTE)); There are some other related things to retrieve DTE object - via Project.DTE , also read this thread if you're getting null for DTE.
