Visual Studio Add-in 2012
-
Hi All, Is it possible to develop a visual studio add-in, which can be installable in any visual studio, I mean, that can be installable and usable in VS2005,VS2008,VS2010, VS2012 & 2013. I have a visual studio add-in developed in VS2008, I wanted to make it generic such that, it will be installable and usable in any of the Visual studios. is it possible? Thank you in advance for your help. Regards

Guess that it's possible, since the supported hosts are specified in the XML. Keep in mind that every version has it's own deployment-location, so you'd still need to ask what version to install to. There may be VS-versions where the addin-contract is altered; in that case, make a simple addin, and use that to load your functionality from a shared assembly.

Thank you Eddy for the relavent answer. Can you please extend your help in finding me an article/sample which can help me understanding your point "make a simple addin, and use that to load your functionality from a shared assembly". Thank you,

There's a thread on SO[^] that talks about sharing stuff between projects. You'd typically put the shared functionality in a project, and reference that (and invoke it) from your addin-project.
