Solution.FullName property as "" when it fires.  This only seems to
happen on newly-created solutions, not on pre-existing solutions that
were simply opened.

I'm trying to find out whether there are any free unit testing frameworks
that're possible to use for developing VS macros. Any hints are welcome.
Thanks,

I followed the advices given in the MSDN porting guide. But a problem

is it possible to execute a VC post-build action using automation (i.e.
macros), and have the output go to the build output window?
Or, perhaps as a more general question, executing an external program and
displaying the output in e.g. the Output window?

I'm trying to add items to toolbox from my dll. In Choose Toolbox Items

There a couple of files that are added to the AddIn setup package by
default...
Extensibility.dll, VSLangProj.dll, and vslangproj.tlb.

            I am updating a existing VS 2003 add-in to VS 2005 addin.
But I am using the the dll "VSLangProj" for some automation. But
