Hi,

Anyone know or can point me to files on how to create a Plug-In for Visual
Studio, specifically 2008 (2005 will do)? I want to create a plug in that
enables Intellisense to pick out errors in code for a non Microsoft language.

Thanks in advance

VS supports several levels of automation depends on the complexity
of the task you're trying to solve. The simplest method is writing
a macro. The most complex method is writing VS extension package
with VS SDK. You can find useful info in MSDN about VS automation:
