This is a pretty cool idea. Is there anything, prizes, support, etc the VS team could provide for this? Are boxes signed by the extensibility team interesting? Let me know.

# RE: [Coding Contest] Most Useful/Innovative VS.Net Add-in/Macro (and some huge prizes)

Just happens I'm writing a killer (IMHO) add-in for VS.NET! Hope I will be able to deliver first beta next month. Btw, should it be open source and why do you need the sources?
Thursday, April 22, 2004 7:49 AM by Roy Osherove

# re: [Coding Contest] Most Useful/Innovative VS.Net Add-in/Macro (and some huge prizes)

Oleg: cool.
Yes, it should be open source. I want the sources because the whole point of this is to share and learn information and code that can bebefit others, while making the world a cooler place at the same time :)

Roy, by "the end of next month" you mean the closing date is 5th June 2004?

# re: [Coding Contest] Most Useful/Innovative VS.Net Add-in/Macro (and some huge prizes)

Is there any chance you could extend the rules to allow C++ add-ins (of the non-managed flavour). Some of us Luddites 'enjoy' doing all that tricky COM stuff by hand!

I will submit a really cool add-in if you do.... :-)

# re: [Coding Contest] Most Useful/Innovative VS.Net Add-in/Macro (and some huge prizes)

Senkwe: I mean submission closes at the end of the 5th month (31.5.04)
Jonathan: I have no idea if you're kidding or not. Still, only managed code allowed. Sorry.
Omer: Yeah. That could use an add-in. Remember - new code, and that is one.

# re: [Coding Contest] Most Useful/Innovative VS.Net Add-in/Macro (and some huge prizes)

Nah, I wasn't kidding! Its just I have a new add-in I have started in C++ and I was wondering if I could bend the rules to enter it for your competition. Oh well.

Can an Add-In use a 3rd party control if it is freely available to anyone (i.e. open source, freeware, gpl, etc.)?

Thanks,

Ah, what the hell - a plug for a vb.net addin I wrote recently.

Why do the contest for VS and why not have the contest for a non profit organization. Do we really need to help Microsoft conquer the world of programming.

Can I nomminate an add.in?

Suppose I can - I nomminate for the first prize - no less the eXtesible C#2.0.

If you don't know what is it - google resolecorp.

A truly amazing tool which opens so much possibilities.

Why is the final date set again to May 31?

This is a major blow to the people who thought it would be June 30... and if you ask me: it sucks. Roy, please, set it again to June 30. Too many people counted on that date already.

I know that is somewhat late. But can I submit my Addin ? Practically, it takes Windows forms in a VS2005 project and generates HTML Help to be filled and used as Help. The web site is http://www.vs2005helpgenerator.com/
