Something really awesome in Visual Studio.
-
I've been hinting for quite a while now that Sacha and I have been working on some software together. Well, I've been writing a Visual Studio extension and it has some settings that we show in the Tools > Options dialog. Well, it's vital that the user enters these settings (they can't get to any further activities without setting these). If only Visual Studio allowed us to get to the property page, well thanky-dank you Microsoft for giving me something awesome:
EnvDTE.DTE dte = (EnvDTE.DTE)Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Package.GetGlobalService(typeof(SDTE));
dte.ExecuteCommand("Tools.Options", GuidList.PropertyPageGuid);And that's it - Visual Studio shows me the settings page (all you have to do is provide the property page guid).

I remember back in the dark days of Visual Studio add-ins. WholeTomato Software made a very successful business by being one of the very few companies breave enough to battle VS. And then Microsoft realised extensibility was a good thing and all stops were pulled. Wait until you see the next version...

I have always been interested in VS-Extensions and how to go about them, would you have the time to hack together a small article on getting started? would get my 5 :)
There might be something coming out of this from Sacha and me?

And by battle you are of course referring to the use of CBT hooks to inject code into devenv and inserting a menu resource at runtime :-)

I am a --massive-- fan of the code project newsletters. The puns that the writer(s) come up with on a daily basis is a consistently high quality. I regularly read around 80% of the articles listed each day. I don't like this new policy of using a forum post as the subject line of the email. Its really misleading and most of the time links through to a post that's filled with drivel. No offence to the posters in this thread, you should freely discuss niche subjects like this in the forum. I'm not try to say the posters are responsible but as a reader of the newsletter I see this pop up in my inbox "Something really awesome in Visual Studio", click through to this page and its not something awesome. It doesn't make any sense to the programmers that are not working on VS addons. Its nothing I can use. I guess its something to do with trying to drum up more users in the forums but for me its just been a waste of time most of the time I click through to these posts. I can only assume this is being automatically injected based on the post popularity because I don't see why you would include this in the newsletter. Hope I don't come off as offensive, I'm just baffled as to why this has started cropping up in my favourite newsletter :)

As the author of said post, I should be offended, but I'm not. I wouldn't have chosen this post for the newsletter either, and I was surprised to see it there. I would disagree with you that this feature isn't awesome though. It really is. But no hard feelings on my part, so don't worry about it.
