I used the Wizard to make this Add-In from scratch in preparation of
moving some 2003 Add-In Code to 2005. I used the wizard and I made no
other changes. I hit F5 and another copy of VS2005 launched but the
Add-In is not showing under Tools but it does list itself in the Add-In
Manager. Any ideas? I am using VS2005 RTM.

Thanks

The following line (wizard generated) causes a System.ArgumentException
with "Value does not fall within the expected range".
============================

Command command = commands.AddNamedCommand2(_addInInstance,
"HFO.Deployment.AddIn", "GAC Deployment", "Executes the command for
HFO.Deployment.AddIn", true, 0, ref contextGUIDS,
(int)vsCommandStatus.vsCommandStatusSupported+(int)vsCommandStatus.vsCommandStatusEnabled,
(int)vsCommandStyle.vsCommandStyleText,
vsCommandControlType.vsCommandControlTypeButton);

- Put a messagebox in the OnConnection which reports the ConnectMode
parameter.
- Put a break point in the OnConnection method and debug.
- Use (just for a test) AddNamedCommand instead of AddNamedCommand2

ConnectMode is Extensibility.ext_ConnectMode.ext_cm_UISetup

AddNameCommand - Same exception. The exception does not specify which
argument is invalid so I cannot proceed.

Hello? Anyone? Is anyone making Add-Ins for VS2005?

I found that if you make sure you have both a Visual Studio and a
Visual Studio Macros plug-in it works. You also have to add an
installer project, which VS 2003 did for you, but VS 2005 does not (any
ideas why?).

Also, in Microsoft's add-in example on their site they have you use
applicationObject. In the VS.NET 2005 generated code, it's actually
_applicationObject. So don't forget that underscore!

It's also faster to use the .Insert(value, 1) instead of the .Text =
value statement Microsoft's example shows. I noticed a significant
speed increase using Insert.

If you have any other questions about this, please feel free to send me
an email. I'll help best I can!
