Hi Guys..
I have seen added other lanugage support rather than existing .net lanugaes
added to VS.net 2005 (Ex: PHP http://www.jcxsoftware.com . )
Does anybody know how to do that ??? Any link, documentation, SDK or
tutorial will be much helpfull to me.
Thanx

Hi Fiqri,
To integrate another language in Visual Studio 2005 IDE, you need to
implement a VSPackage. VSPackages are software modules that extend the
Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE) by providing UI
elements, services, projects, editors, and designers. Visual Studio itself
is written mostly as a collection of VSPackages.
For integrating a programming language into Visual Studio, a VSPackage
should implement following components: Editor, Language service, Compiler,
Expression evaluator, Lexer, Parser. It would be a some what complicated
task. Please visit our Visual Studio Extensibility Center and download the
corresponding Visual Studio 2005 SDK for the further information:

For more in-depth information about integrating a programming language into
Visual Studio, see the following books:
Build Your Own .NET Language and Compiler by Edward Nilges (Apress, 2004)
Thanks!
Best regards,
