Write a Visual Studio extension

Join Mads as he shows how to create a Visual Studio extension using the new community developed toolkit. It makes it easier than ever and a lot of fun. The question is: what extension are you going to build?

Intro

Great, guys! I'm doing a special VSIX to facilitate some refactors from a legacy project, and this is an awesome hack for my productivity!

Super, thank you, I have been looking for a good Tutorial on creating an Extension, this was clean and to the point SUBBED

I am definitely doing a Clippy helper extension with this! :D

I was watching this video cause I wanted to make an extension to insert guids turns out it is the example

Does this Extensibility Toolkit mean I can write a VS Extension in .Net 6? I have a VS Package I have converted since VS 2010, and I had to stop at 4.8 of .Net Framework. Watch you create this seems simpler than my attempts at upgrading to VS 2022.

Quite informative, thank you very much.

HI, Im trying to wright my first extension but I don't know how to know how to get the right part of the VS API. I would like to access the Warnings and error system ( to be able to change the underlining color on a specific kind of warning) but I can't find how to get there. Can you help?

Hey, I was trying to insert a command in the context menu from the code window. What is the variable name that I have to insert for this menu? Ist there an overview for the variable names of the various menus?

What if I need to navigate in the document and insert the Guid (or whatever) not at the current position, but e.g. at the beginning of the document? How do I come there?

What is the extension of the Solution files in Visual Studio?

[vberkaltun]

Nice video, thanks for the fundamental intro. I just started to develop my first vs2022 extension but could not go it so far. Apparently, the 'test' group is not defined, so I can not put my command under its menu. Hope there is a solution to do that.

Doesn't work i 've tried everything, even using the exact same icon and menu as you Use. Am i missing something? i am on Visual studio 2019

[PrajaktaPednekar]

[Airsoftshowoffs]

Seems like Extensibility essentials does not exist on the Marketplace anymore.
