.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Extensibility / April 2006IVsSingleFileGenerator Generate method call
Hi, In my Visual Studio I have a VS plug-in for editing XML schema definition files (.xsd) and a VS plug-in for generating .cs files from .xsd files. This is achieved by using the Custom Tool Property of the xsd files that are part of the project. When the "Run Custom Tool" context menu option is being selected it gets called with a string filled with the contents of the file. Where do these file contents come from? I could not find anything in the documentation on this issue. It seems that the contents are coming from the editor but I do not know how. Fact is that if the file is open with my custom .xsd editor the file contents are in an ASCII string. If the file is not open the contents are in an Unicode string. Which interface shall be implemented by the editor to pass the file contents to the IVsSingleFileGenerator::Generate method correctly? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Gabriel Bota. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Thanks, > Gabriel Bota. Have you created a custom editor, or are you using a provided Visual Studio editor, such as the XML editor or XSD designer? The contents come from an in memory buffer, which is managed by Visual Studio. One interface I suggest you look at is IVsTextLines. There is a good example of an editor in the VSIP sdk on these. under VisualStudioIntegration\Samples\IDE\CSharp, see Example.XmlDesigner Cheers, Stu > > Hi, > > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > Stu Hi Stu, Thanks for the answer. It is a custom editor. If the xsd file is open with the XSD designer or with the XML editor from VS the problem does not appear. I'll take a look at the samples that you directed me to. But.... IVsTextLines is the interface that my editor will have to implement? Did I get this right? Thanks, Gabriel. >>> Hi, >>> [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] > Thanks, > Gabriel. No, but you should notify this interface of any changes to your editors buffer via the IVsTextLines interface. In my custom editor (which also permits the Xml editor), I call the IVsTextLines::ReplaceLines method any time my buffer changes, so the Xml editor view is updated accordingly and additionally, my SingleFileGenerator recieves update notifications to regen the code. Cheers, Stu
