Wanted: Step-by-Step guide to develop VS.2008 addin

[herbert]

I tried several (downloaded) samples from VS.2008 books which fail.
Can somebody please point me to a step-by-step sample how to
code/install/debug a VS.2008 addin in VB.NET?

I need to build code generators which require:
- a menu item in VS.2008
- opening, creating and filling source files and projects
- attaching files to projects
- displaying dialogues
- run on different MS-Windows versions, in different languages

thank you very much. herbert

I would suggest you look into the DXCore framework..

It's a managed code interface for plugin/Addin creation built by DevExpress.

It's the same framework that Coderush and RefactorPro are built on.

It greatly simplifies the process.

You can find an example tutorial here
