I am writing a Visual Studio extension and I need to programmatically open the Tools->Options dialog on a specific page. I could find how to open the dialog on the default page: var editor = (my_package as System.IServiceProvider).GetService(typeof(DTE)) as DTE2; editor.ExecuteCommand("Tools.Options"); I have found that I can pass some parameter after the command name. But passing the specific page name I want does not seem to do the trick. Is it even possible to open a specific page? Is there some specific grammar to give the expected page name? Is there some better practice to do that

How to open file programmatically using EnvDTE in C#. Assuming you have a hook to the correct DTE instance... DTE.ExecuteCommand("File.OpenFile", "c:\\derp.txt"); You can try the following snippet directly in the Visual Studio Console: $DTE.ItemOperations.OpenFile("c:\derp.txt",$DTE.Constants.vsViewKindTextView) It should open the file as long as it exists... 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5039226/how-to-open-file-programmatically-using-envdte-in-c-sharp

I'm trying to install an extension that's only supported on Visual Studio 2017. I'm using Professional, and I never had the RC installed, only the RTM version. VS 2017 isn't detected, however (see install log below). Other extensions install just fine, presumably because they also support VS 2015, which I do have installed. Those extensions do show up in both 2015 and 2017. I tried a repair install, then completely uninstalling and reinstalling, but nothing has fixed the problem. The specific extension is Roslynator 2017 . How can I fix this so VS 2017 is detected and I can install extensions

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've created a VSPackage which should copy some XML schema files to Visual Studio's installation path: %VS install path% \Xml\Schemas . I have multiple Visual Studios installed on my machine: Visual Studio 2013 Professional. Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition. Visual Studio Express Editions. I need to detect the path to the Visual Studio from which my VSPackage is executing its command. How can I get the current running Visual Studio's installation path in the package? First, I agree with Carlos in that particular point that an extension should never require elevated priviledges. But that

What happened to the Visual Studio extension for "Ultra Find"? I've seen references all over this site and the Internet for this allegedly awesome extension. Here are a couple of links: http://blog.arainia.com/2010/08/ultra-find-getting-started.html http://coolthingoftheday.blogspot.com/2010/08/i-find-you-ultra-ultra-find-vs2010-add.html And here's a S.O. link: How to exclude designer.cs from Visual Studio file search However, when I search in the VS Extension Manager , nothing shows up. It's as if the extension never existed. I am guessing the author pulled it for some reason, perhaps in
