visual-studio-extensions

I am creating an extension for Visual Studio (2012+) that involves a tool window. I was hoping to style the window identically to match the current theme of Visual Studio. However, I am having a great deal of trouble figuring out how to do it. This post suggests that applying no style at all is all that is required, but that does not match my experience thus far (even creating a default VSIX project in VS2017 and adding a tool window shows a button that I would argue is standard WPF in theme and not VS themed, at least when using the dark VS theme in VS2017). This post asked a similar question

I develop the Visual Studio package with a tool window. The UI of the tool window is based on WPF. In my user control I want to use current Visual Studio theme colors corresponding to the VS design. Therefore my question is how I can find out that Visual Studio theme color has been changed? Thanks in advance. I've found another way to do it. I can use visual studio theme colors resources from xaml directly. For example: Background="{DynamicResource {x:Static vsfx:VsBrushes.ToolWindowBackgroundKey}}" where vsfx is xmlns:vsfx="clr-namespace:Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell;assembly=Microsoft

I would like to configure a RexEx to match any folder (parent or child) of a file path of any open file. So if any folder in the file path contains the name of the open file, the color coding of the tab is set based on the RegEx match. For example: websiteRoot/Content/MyName1/site.css = green colored tab when file opened websiteRoot/Content/MyName2/site.css = orange colored tab when file opened websiste/Shared/MasterPages/MyName1/main.master = green colored tab when file opened websiste/Shared/MasterPages/MyName2/main.master = orange colored tab when file opened I have tried: .*MyName1?$ but

After latest update of Azure tools, Visual Studio 2012 does not work correctly. Looks like an unresponsive application, loading project very long, menu does not work too and you can hear two dings at start (like error message boxes, but there is no visible messages). In the some cases you can see the real message about "The HDIProjectPackage did not load correctly". At the same time Visual Studio 2013 is not affected. You can launch Visual Studio 2012 in the safe mode: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE>devenv.exe /SafeMode and it will work well. While launching

I want' to create a protractor test adapter for Visual Studio. I have found I can create it with implementing ITestExecutor and ITestDiscoverer. I follow the Marcel De Vries documentation ( https://xpirit.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Xpirit-magazine-2-Protractor-UI-testing.pdf ) but I can't found how to add my extension in Visual Studio. I have tried to add my assembly directly in the \Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TestWindow\Extensions folder. I have tried to create a Vsix and install it. (with UnitTestExtension as Asset) I have tried to download Marcel's project ( https://github

I have a Visual Studio extensions that use Roslyn to get a project in current opened solution, compile it and run methods from it. The project can be modified by the programmer. I have successfully compiled a project in a Visual Studio extension from the current VisualStudioWorkspace. private static Assembly CompileAndLoad(Compilation compilation) { using (MemoryStream dllStream = new MemoryStream()) using (MemoryStream pdbStream = new MemoryStream()) { EmitResult result = compilation.Emit(dllStream, pdbStream); if (!result.Success) { IEnumerable<Diagnostic> failures = result.Diagnostics.Where
