.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Extensibility / July 2006Stupid add-in question...
I have an Add-in that I wrote in VS.NET 2003. It works great. I'd like to put it on the toolbar in VS 2005, but can't figure out how. I've added the directory to the add-in path, but nothing shows up in list of available add-ins. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm sure I'm overlooking something obvious. I really hope I don't have to redo them again, as I've had to every time a new version comes out. TIA. The add-in must be registered as add-in for VS 2005. Apart from the old registry-based method, VS 2005 allows XML file-based method. See the docs. Also, notice that unless the VS.NET 2003 is written in unmanaged (C++) code, you will have to migrate it to the extensibility model VS 2005 and perform some changes (change the reference for the command bars of Office, etc.). Create a dummy VS 2005 add-in to see the new references.  SignatureBest regards, Carlos J.

The addin was in unmanaged code. I'm not a fan of managed code. Thanks again. Then you must registered if for VS 2005 using either HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Addins or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Addins instead of using the 7.1 registry key that you used for VS.NET 2003.
