Is there a way to enumerate the files of a Setup Project (.vdproj) ? I'm

I have written a custom add-in in c# for 2005 and I can't seem to get the

I have a native implementation of a debug engine for native code.  I want to
add support to use the contents of the Common Properties->Debug Source Files

project template to pass. Thanks very much.

I have an Add-in that I wrote in VS.NET 2003.  It works great.
I'd like to put it on the toolbar in VS 2005, but can't figure out how.
I've added the directory to the add-in path, but nothing shows up in

I've created a console application that adds toolbox controls to Visual
Studio 2005 using automation.  However--correct me if I'm wrong--this method
