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.

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

  • Excellent! Thanks!

  • Too Awesome...thanks! :)

  • 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.

  • My system folder is c:\windows as default.

    Thanks,

    Michael

  • I'm having the same issue as atempcode@yahoo.com The menu appears but nothing happens when I invoke it

  • open the installation folder and add the Microsoft.VisualStudio.VSIP.Helper.dll to the GAC.

    I mean "gacutil -i Microsoft.VisualStudio.VSIP.Helper.dll"



  • 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.

  • 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
