Visual Studio.NET add-ins

No, this isn't a programming question. Yes, it's related, but I think it's generic enough for the Lounge, rather than the VC forum. Anyways. I'd like to have people post links to various Visual Studio.NET add-ins they've found. It doesn't matter if they are commercial or free, I'd like to see what cool stuff is out there. Here's the first: The VC7 Call Browser This replaces functionality that used to be in VC++ but was lost in the conversion to .NET. Anyone have any others? -- Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?

This leads to another (reasonably loungish) question. What is the add-in API like? I found VS6 to be very limited, is VS7 (.NET) any better?
I have written a couple of Add-ins so far, and the API is so much better, it is like writing a word add-in. A lot of the office base functionality has been moved into the API, so there is a lot of knowledge now available for writing addins. if(E_NOINTERFACE == pThat->QueryInterface(IID_IUnknown,(void**)&pUnk)) { // I aint no pUnk bitch! }

It isn't ready yet, but I'm in the process of porting my Resource ID Organiser Add-In to VS.NET. :cool: I'm hoping to have the first version ready (together with an updated article describing it) sometime in July. :D Andy Metcalfe - Sonardyne International Ltd

I really like the beta of Visual Assist.NET [target="_Paul"]. Currently, this beta is free. Regards Thomas Sonork id: 100.10453 Thömmi

Microsoft's site has a number of useful Addins with source code. New window

The one I miss the most is WndTabs. The website has the following to say on the subject: "Q. Is there going to be a WndTabs.NET? "A. This has become a very popular question lately. I receive an email regarding this issue almost every day. Until recently, the answer to the question was "maybe". I've just upgraded that to a definite "probably"… "Two things stand between me and a .NET version (at the moment). The first is that I don't own or use VS.NET (if anybody out in MS land wants to throw an MSDN Universal my way, it would surely help!). The second problem is time. It's taken over 3 years to get WndTabs to where it is now, and starting from (almost scratch) would require time I don't have. "For the time being, I recommend that you have a look at SmartHelp.NET (http://www.smarthelp.net) which includes a few enhanced tab features for .NET." Sounds like a definate maybe is the order of the day...;) Andy Metcalfe - Sonardyne International Ltd

Thanks a lot Dave - it's always good to hear positive feedback! :D The good news is that the app can now (as of the end of last week) be compiled with either VC6 or VC7 - and I have the skeleton VC7 add-in underway - once I finish converting the COM interfaces from VC6 to VC7, it should "just work" in it's current form. Once I've got the add-in ported in its current form I'm hoping to have a good look at closer integration with the IDE - VC7 looks much better in that respect, but as ever there's a learning curve. :rolleyes: Hopefully there'll be a development version (1.4.5) out in a month or so - keep an eye on the website for details. :) Cheers, Andy Andy Metcalfe - Sonardyne International Ltd
