I'm currently developing my first VS extension, which needs to provide some options to the user. Following https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb166195.aspx , it was rather easy to come up with my own options page. However, I have not yet found out how to read my options. The solution structure of my extension is as follows: MySolution MyProject (generates a DLL from C# code) MyProjectVSIX Following the tutorial cited above, I have added a VS Package to my VSIX project and configured it as described. As a result, my options page with my options is shown under Tools/Options. Nice! Here's

In the Package constructor I added the event handler for OnStartupComplete event. But when I run the code, the the event handler is not called. What am I doing wrong? There's a bug in VS that recycles the DTEEvents object (with your event handlers) unless you keep an explicit reference to it. You need something like this: [ProvideAutoLoad(VSConstants.UICONTEXT.NoSolution_string)] [ProvideAutoLoad(VSConstants.UICONTEXT.SolutionExists_string)] class MyPackage : Package { DTEEvents _EventsObj; protected override void Initialize() { var dte = (EnvDTE.DTE)GetService(typeof(EnvDTE.DTE)); _EventsObj

I'm trying to create a VS2010 solution and add a project from a stand-alone app (not an add-in). I can create an instance of VS2010, but I'm not able to determine how to create a project properly...I can only find an example of how to create a project using the EnvDTE80 object, which later causes an exception because the project file is in an earlier format and needs to be upgraded. I have this: EnvDTE80.DTE2 dte2; object obj; System.Type t; t = System.Type.GetTypeFromProgID("VisualStudio.DTE.10.0", true); obj = System.Activator.CreateInstance(t, true); dte2 = (EnvDTE80.DTE2)obj; What I'm

I wanted to know how to use the template for an Empty Visual C++ project to programmatically create a new solution with this empty project. The code (C#) I have right now is: string VSProgID = "VisualStudio.Solution.10.0"; Type solnObjType = System.Type.GetTypeFromProgID(VSProgID, true); Solution4 soln = (Solution4) System.Activator.CreateInstance(solnObjType, true); soln.Create(@"C:\NewSoln", "New"); soln.SaveAs(@"C:\NewSoln\New.sln"); string emptyVCProjPath = soln.GetProjectTemplate("General/Empty Project", "VC++"); // Here's where I need help soln.AddFromTemplate(emptyVCProjPath, @"C:
