Day 17. Automating Visual Studio .NET
Yesterday you learned about the extensibility options in Visual Studio .NET. By creating macros, you interacted with the integrated development environment (IDE) and you learned how to manipulate the text editor. Today, you take the next step in Visual Studio .NET automation and learn how to create add-ins. Add-ins are like macros in that they extend what you can do with the IDE. But when you use add-ins, you have access to more objects that you can use to control the environment. Today, you learn
- What add-ins are
- How to use the Add-Ins Project Wizard
- How to use forms in add-ins
- How to interact with the Toolbox through automation
