About

My Name is Jan Kinable and I’m residented in Belgium. I have several years of experience in .Net development where I, the most of the time, worked on Enterprise Application Integration. Since a few years I work as a .Net Consultant as an application architect and developer.

My main interests are server architecture and automation of the developer environment. Currently I have the intention to dive a bit more in VSX, starting with VS Integration Package. This blog should give a view on my experiences.

    Hi Jan Kinable,

    Googling about VS EXtensibility I found you like a great reference in this topic.
    I have a “apparently” simple problem and may be you know how to solve it.

    Using Feature Builder Power Tool from VS 2010 I created a template project Feature Extension for Pro, Premium and Ultimate. Like you know it provide the possibility to generate our own templates with some functionality inside but first you must choose the template and then you will access to all functionality.
    The thing is that I want to provide some functionality without select nothing.
    I saw that exist the Feature Extension VSX Pack Scenario to do that but I want to combine both of them in the same .vsix.
    I was trying with attribute [ProvideAutoLoad(UIContextGuids.NoSolution)] in the package but I recieved an error message: “Command binding someCommand can not be executed.”
    What do I am missing in the configuration of this functionality?
    Thank you very much in advance,
    Marcel

      Hi Marcel, I think it is a better idea to post this question on the VSX forum (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en/vsx/threads/). Not that I’m not willing to answer your question but there you get:
      - a much bigger audience, thus no single view
      - direct support from the creators
      Beside this advantage you do contribute in the community of VSX developers, so anyone facing the same problem can look for a solutions there.
