.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Extensibility / August 2005Programmatically saving/restoring user customizations for devenv /setup
First, sorry if this has been covered before. I would like to avoid wiping out a user's customizations when I run devenv /setup to install my package. I understand it is now possible to use a wizard-based tool from within Whidbey to export and later re-import a user's settings, but I was wondering if it is possible to do this sort of thing programmatically as well. Thanks. Hi Parag, >I would like to avoid wiping out a user's customizations >when I run devenv /setup to install my package.

Have you tried the IProfileManager Interface to acheive this, this interface provides the Visual Studio settings support for a VSPackage, which implemented by classes supporting VSPackages by persisting their state information through the Visual Studio settings mechanism. The VS2005 IDE also uses classes that implement the IProfileManager interface and classes that are registered as supporting a given VSPackage implementation, to save the state of a VSPackage. So you may use that interface to export/import the IDE's settings. please refer to the following VSIP Docs for details: How to: Export Environment Settings Using the Managed Package Framework How to: Import Environment Settings Using the Managed Package Framework Thanks!
