visual-studio-extensions

I'm developing a visual studio 2015 extension and I'm looking to get the identity of the user who's logged into the IDE (different to the user logged in to windows, or running devenv). I can't figure out where (or if) I can get that information. It doesn't appear to be in the DTE object anywhere and googling around hasn't helped. Just the username string username = System.Environment.UserName; or string adName = System.Environment.UserDomainName; Full UserPrinciple System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.UserPrincipal.Current Most the normal .net methods for getting users from system or

I've created a Visual Studio Extension (VSIX) with Visual Studio 2013. In this extension I have a reference to another class library (DLL) which I created. This DLL will be placed in the extension Folder correctly after installing the extension Extension Folder is C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\Extensions\1oqfh4o4.2y5\ But I need this dll also in the installing directory of the Visual Studio -> C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE If I do not copy the dll into the Visual Studio folder I get an exception that the extension cannot find the

I develop a Visual Studio extension . I attached a button to the Source Control History Window's Context Menu (the menu with 'changeset details', 'compare', etc.. on it) I need to get the selected History items from the window, but couldn't figure it out how to do it. Update: I'm using team foundation server as source control. Here's the screenshot of the window i want to access to. Screenshot I have found a way to retrieve the window object's data, but i still have some issues: package.FindToolWindow(typeof(/*I don't know the type of the window*/), 0, false); (package is instance of Microsoft

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

I am trying to implement a custom Test Adapter, all the files are bellow: TSTestDiscoverer.cs TSTestExecutor.cs TSTestContainer.cs TSTestContainerDiscoverer.cs VsSolutionHelper.cs from XMLTestDiscoverer source code Using vstest.console.exe /listdiscoverers /usevsixextensions:true I confirmed that the extension is installed and it is listed on the test discoverers. Running vstest.console.exe file.ts I confirmed that both TSTestDiscoverer and TSTestExecutor are working correctly. Now I want to list the tests on Test Explorer, for that I guess I need ITestContainer and ITestContainerDiscoverer .

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:

NOTE: I AM TRYING TO SOLVE THE MOUSE ISSUE, NOT THE KEYBOARD PROBLEM, WHICH IS ALREADY SOLVED So I am creating a Visual Studio 2015 extension, working on the Options pages. I am using WPF, so I use ElementHost to host a UserControl. At first it wasn't receiving keyboard events, so I implemented the solution at: WPF TextBox not accepting Input when in ElementHost in Window Forms A quick run down of the solution: A) on the UserControl's Loaded event, I do: var s = HwndSource.FromVisual(this) as HwndSource; s?.AddHook(ChildHwndSourceHook); B) In ChildHwndSourceHook(), I do something like: static

Is it possible to get a list or a specific instance of IDebugEngine2 ( MSDN ) from a Visual Studio Package without using IVsLoader approach (described here )? Normally I would expect most services to be available through GetService , either directly or through some other service. But I can not easily find anything that can provide debug engines. What are you trying to do with it? The debugger interfaces are extremely fragile. Often there are 2, 3, or maybe more possible ways to perform an action with the debugger interfaces, but the particular DE implementation only supports 1 of them. Debug
