Sorry for late respond. Based on your description, your custom tool registration is right. There may be something wrong with the code of your custom tool. I used below registry key Just added "WowNode" , and the problem was gone. However, I don't know why. Anybody know the this? The reason is that your OS is 64bit, the WowNode is for 32bit applications.
Thanks for sharing your answer with us, you answer will be very helpful to the members in this forum. The content you requested has been removed. Ask a question. These are great productivity additions. Nice set of features. Would be nice if paste from clipboard as stringbuilder was available. Can they shorten the install directory names so it can be installed on XP sp3?
My username is 22 characters long user. PathTooLongException: The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than characters, and the directory name must be less than characters. Just upgraded to VS today, and took a look at the available extensions. I only installed this one the feature that sold me was the "Copy Code as HTML" feature , but I was then surprised to read your post about this extension the very same day.
I didn't realized I was so cutting edge with my extensions. Are there any chances to disable entire line highlighting or tweak its background color?
Didn't find any mentions in Settings including Fonts and Colors. I too have the problem with the dark theme that Bojan mentioned. Quite annoying. There are great but what about support for Javascript outlining??? It's also be nice to have the "Function Jumping" feature from the dropdown on the top right like C files have.
Thank you. Add Reference dialog in versions exept VS was pain. VS has made many improvements one is, it does not run in UI thread. Inside that, you can find the folder for the power tools extension.
To disable a module, find the corresponding. It would be very nice to choose which enhancements we want from the options menu though. I realy miss 1 feature! Is there any plugin for more default code block outlining C , JS? Yes, this is great stuff.
I would as with others that I've seen already like to know how to disable the Ctrl-click F12 replacement though, as I use the mouse to move lines and this is making it VERY difficult.
Lance May: Drag first, than hold down the Ctrl key. Jasonz said: "Thanks everyone for the feedback so far. We're hoping to have this new build out next week or so. Keep the feedback coming! Joel, thank you so much! You can also force a re-generation by right-clicking the file and choosing Run Custom Tool :. Specifically, it provides us with an interface — IVsSingleFileGenerator — that a custom tool must implement.
However, unfortunately, implementing this interface on a public type and compiling a DLL does not make a custom tool available in Visual Studio — some extra steps need to be taken.
Visual Studio needs to be told about your tool. This means four things:. Here are the steps to get the tool working:. Note : Some people recommend creating integration packages instead, because they can be debugged. I haven't tested this. If everything went well, you need to return VSConstants. Shell in your project. Or, you can just return 0 zero. Now, we use the Encoding class to get the bytes to write, as well as how many there are:.
There is no de-allocation of the memory — Visual Studio will do it for us. Visual Studio can also handle the registration for you. Just open project properties, and select the Build tab. Overall, the subkey should contain the following values:. The simplest was to associate the data above with the custom tool is to associate it with an attribute, so that our Line Counter custom tool would now look as follows:.
The only thing to note is that, unfortunately, it cannot inherit from GuidAttribute , which would have made everything look even more elegant. But now, we have a problem: how to integrate all this wonderful metadata and create Registry entries from it. The important thing here is that by creating these two functions, we make the custom tool self-register with Visual Studio. After compilation, there are just two steps remaining. The order of these two operations is unimportant.
If you have set up your project to COM-register your custom tool automatically, feel free to add the call to gacutil to the post-build step. Please note, however, that you might have to specify the full path to the gacutil. Well, that pretty much covers the steps necessary to get your own custom tool working. Sometimes, we might want to have several. Luckily, a fellow by the name of Adam Langley created a solution [2] to this problem that allows our custom tool to create several files. His example is particularly interesting — he shows a generator that takes an HTML file and adds all the images it refers to as code-behind files.
For the sake of completeness, I will describe that solution briefly — feel free to read the original article if you are interested. This class is an enumerator, and the T generic parameter is defined by your subclass. The type can be anything: this generic parameter is mainly for you to process how you see fit. The most sensible choice is to define it as a string.
Basically, the multiple-file generator is a single-file generator that also does extra things such as, you know, generate additional files. After it does that, however, it is forced to create at least one file the old-fashioned way to satisfy the IVsSingleFileGenerator interface contract. This is a cosmetic problem, though, and does not break functionality in any way. And, if you decide to be clever and supply VS with null data and a length of 0 zero , you will get an error dialog box.
To see an example use of the multi-file generator, you can take a look at the multi-file XSL transformer I wrote [3]. I have no clue how the mechanics of this work — I have only seen it in SourceSafe, so I kind of hope that TFS is better at handling them.
Just so you know. You can also program identical Save-triggered functionality into an add-in. My advice is to use custom tools for basic transforms e. Instead, you can associate it with a file extension. For example, Visual Studio does it for the. This allows any file saved with a. Making your own association is easy — when writing the information to the Registry, instead of making a subkey with the name of the custom tool e. If you liked this article, please vote for it.
