I have created a Flavored project, and have subscribed to
IVsHierarchyEvents.
When the OnItemAdded event is fired, I am inspecting the file that was
just added via the itemId passed in, and if it is a file I am interested

I've created my own project type.
I've created two new node types, one of which is a 'virtual folder' for
my project package.  I've specified the MenuCommandId for my virtual
folder as "IDM_VS_CTXT_FOLDERNODE", so I could initially test adding a

[Apologies for cross-posting. I only found this forum after posting to
vsnet.ide.]

In the Project Property Page in Visual Studio 2005 I want add a reference to
a COM Component to my VC++ MFC project. But in the Add Reference Dialog I can

I've registered with the free VSIP membership and downloaded the package
extensibility kit, but I still have a beta Visual Studio on my machine and
the installation aborts without unpacking anything.  I won't be installing a

In my ToolWindowPlugin I have two ToolWindows. The idea was to draw some
graphics in the first one and have the second one show properties in a
propertygrid and docked in the ordinary property window.

Hi --
I was hoping someone might have an idea about how I can get access to an
instance of my add-in from within the context of a DebuggerEvent handler.  My
need is to have the target application being debugged have access to the

With all of the VS 2005 DTE methods returning System.Object rather than
x.x.x.CommandBars, I assumed this was for backwards compatibility.
However, I'm getting an InvalidCastException on the following lines of
code in 2005 when CommandBars is from the Microsoft.Office.Core

Is there a way to hook into the IDE where before a certain context menu
comes up, an event if fired in my add-in.  The purpose is to add/remove

Is there a way I can obtain the properties of the UIHierarchyItem items
from the Data Connections portion of the Server Explorer? How do I get
the connection information?
Is it possible for me to "Piggy-back" the connection Visual Studio has

I've been playing around with a simple add-in I'm working on for Vs2005. At
one point I'd given up on working on it and moved the project files to a
different folder. The next time I ran Visual Studio, it complained that it
could no longer find the add-in and asked if I wanted to ...

A quick question that someone might know the answer to.  I am accessing the
DTE library not from an addin, but from code within the target application.  
This is clearly running in another thread than the IDE, if the number of
"server busy" messages I'm getting is any indication.  ...

I discovered that when I compiled my C++ /clr app with the /clr option, I
have lost the ability to view (and thus debug) Intel assembly language code I
am generating.  In my app I allocate a piece of memory with VirtualAlloc and
use the PAGE_EXECUtE_READWRITE flag, but when I ...

If I want to add properties of particular nodes in my project Subtype,
so they show up in the Properties tool window, do I use the
VSHPROPID_BrowseObject propid?
Also, how do I ensure these changes are persisted back to my project file?

I need to change the value of Copy local based on the active configuration,
below is the solution I was given to do this, but it requires I manually
edit the project file.
This is where the add in comes into play, I am able to get the list of
