In order to register a PLK for a VSPackage, one needs to add a special entry
in a VSPackage resource string table. This can be easly done by VS.NET,
since one can simply add a resource item to a project, add a string table to
the resource and then add the entry to the string table.

But what should be done if I am developing my VSPackage in a language (such
as Haskell) that does not have this IDE resource support? In other words,
how do I manually create a VSPackage resource with a string table and
assemble it to my final dll?

Thanks a lot,

Hi Andre,

Regardless of the language used to implement your package, you will still
need to use a satelite resource DLL for the PLK. I haven't actually seen a
VSIP package implemented outside of VC++, VB.Net, or C#, and it isn't
something the VSIP SDK team would directly support. However, it sounds like
you've got it working aside from the PLK, and I suspect you can probably
correct this by creating (or stealing a wizard generated) resource DLL,
that contains the necessary string table entries.

Sincerely,
