VSIP: Whidbey Commands on VS 2003

This is a sample of using Automation on a VSIPExtras package.

If you don't know how many things you can do with automation I recommend you read this book http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/6425.asp

I don't want wait for Whidbey in order to use a couple of useful commands in the IDE, then I implemented them for VS2003.

 

Documentation (Full documentation will be available on Whidbey documentation :)

  • Close All but this  ( Close all document windows but this)
  • Copy Full Path    (  Copy the full path of the active document to the clipboard )
  • Show File In Explorer ( Show File in Explorer :)

Installation:

  • Download   (Code included)  Check this post
  • Open visual studio command prompt and run "devenv /setup"

Cooly - If you were doing requests, what about "Collapse All Projects" in the solutions explorer?

The add-in does not work on my computer. The context menu item shown, but nothing happened when click any one of them. I put break point in the exec method, but it never reached.

There is an error in the setup, it consider that you have your system disk in c:\windows,
Change this registry key with your systemfolder path in order to fix this problem

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1Exp\Packages\{8731d559-6762-4e0d-adf0-a36d8d7e827e}
InprocServer32 = (SystemFolder)\mscoree.dll

Just to know, where do you have your system folder, because I was having problems in some machines then I wanna know if this could be the cause.
Thanks.

This is so great. I really hate how when you debug and as you step through the code it opens each document (useful, but annoying when you're working on just one document and it gets lost). Saves tons of time. Thanks! :)

The thing is freakin awesome

open the installation folder and add the Microsoft.VisualStudio.VSIP.Helper.dll to the GAC.
I mean "gacutil -i Microsoft.VisualStudio.VSIP.Helper.dll"

GMilano

# re: VSIP: Whidbey Commands on VS 2003 @Thursday, May 20, 2004 4:51 PM

Did that Still no luck nothing happens I copied Microsoft.VisualStudio.VSIP.Helper.dll into the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\SDK\v1.1\Bin directory and ran the gacutil but it still dosent work.

I can't get it to work. I have added it to the GAC with no luck.

# re: VSIP: Whidbey Commands on VS 2003 @Friday, June 04, 2004 10:08 AM

Whats the matter with running the devenv /setup in the VS command promt? Perhaps that will get it work...

I didn't succeed in running it. I have windows 2000 Professionnal. I made all updates you said (registry key + GAC) and it still doesn't work. Do you know why?

After installing C++ components from Visual Studio 2003, I got the 3 new items displayed but still no action attached to them. If someone got he solution...

I can't get it running too! I can't find the key in the registry....

I found that key @ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\Packages\{051eb58c-fb72-486e-af47-d99ab9fdfeb0} but it did not run at all .... :-(

I cannot download this sample. Could you please make it available? Are these menu items on the context menu of a file tab, aren't they? Could you please tell me how can I add/remove menu items from that? I searched through the QueryStatus methods, but I did not find any suitable for implementing this. Thanks
