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
