Hi,
I have created some custom web-forms and added context menu commands. But
these commands also appear when the project selected is a windows app or a
class lib.
How do i make sure that my context menu appear only when a web project is
selected and you want to add to it?

Use the IDTCommandTarget interface in your add-in, QueryStatus method, and
return vsCommandStatus.vsCommandStatusUnsupported,
vsCommandStatus.vsCommandStatusInvisible or similar if the project type is
not of your acceptance.

Carlos,
thx for the reply. My question is specifically how would i identify whether
the selected project is a "Web-Project". I've created a custom web-form and
want it to show up in the context menu "Add My-Webform" only the project
selected is a web-app.
i searched through the applicationObject but couldn't find anything that
identifies the activeproject type. (windows app, web app etc,)

thanks

You have Project.Properties.Item("ProjectType") (or similar name) which
returns a value of the enum VSLangProj.prjProjectType (prjProjectTypeLocal
or prjProjectTypeWeb).

Carlos,
i implemented my web-project check successfully. One issue i saw when
debugging was that the querystatus method was executed after the exec method
the first time my item was selected. Subsequently everytime somebody selects
"Project->Add" the query status is executed and one doesn't see my
custom-menu item for non-web
projects((vsCommandStatus)vsCommandStatus.vsCommandStatusUnsupported|vsCommandStatus.vsCommandStatusInvisible;).

is that a bug or am i missing something?.

Also i wanted to know how can i implement a
"ExecuteCommand("File.AddNewItem","") with my custom web-form pre-selected.
File.AddNewItem doesn't accept any arguments.

thanks in advance
thanks in advance.

I don´t know about the first question, and about the second I am not sure if
that is possible, but you can add your own "Add My Custom Web-form" entry to
the context menu and skip altogether the selection dialog.

Carlos,
thanks for the reply. I posted these questions to the VS.NET team, hoping to
get any kind of reply.
Regarding ExecuteCommand method to be pre-selected with a particular type, i
don't think it can be done. i recorded a macro, executing the commands like
File->AddNewItem etc. after that when i selected "my-webform", no event got
registered.
Although in vs.net if you selected project->add->new class.. the dialog box
with a class file appears selected.

Regarding the execution sequence of QueryStatus method, i'm currently
planning to check if the current project selected is a web-project and if not
displaying a user-friendly message to the user until i can get a consistent
solution.
