.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / IDE / December 2005.Net Use in Visual Studio
In VS2005, are the extensibility objects such as DTE2 based on .NET? I.e. are they themselves .NET objects? Thank You  SignatureGreg McPherran www.McPherran.com Hi Greg, No, VS.NET extensibility is still COM-based although some COM stuff that emerged to the surface previously (ActiveX registration of add-ins, ActiveX shim control for toolwindows, etc.) is now removed in VS 2005 or well hidden. You have lots of resources to get you started with add-ins on a section of my web site (below). SignatureBest regards, Carlos J.

In what I've done with add-ins so far I haven't noticed any need to map COM objects to .Net objects (i.e. unmanaged to managed), even though I have written the add-in code in managed C++. Can you elaborate on this? SignatureGreg McPherran www.McPherran.com > Hi Greg, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > > > Thank You Hi Greg, VS.NET is not a managed (.NET) app yet, so managed add-ins use Interop assemblies internally. You don´t need to map anything, but the COM objects are underlying there. In the past, despite programming a managed add-in (C#, VB.NET) you had to register your add-in dll assembly for COM interop using regasm.exe or equivalent, and you had to use an ActiveX shim control to host .NET usercontrols in the toolwindows of your add-in. Despite this has been eliminated, the .NET objects that you use in your managed assemblies are wrappers around COM objects, and in fact you will see quite a few COMExceptions from time to time.
