Managed Menu ExtensionsManaged Menu Extensions provides the ability to add Right Click Menus to The Visual Studio 2008 Solution Explorer utilizing the .NET 3.5 System.AddIn namespace. Adding a Menu item is made easy. |
The Main goal of "Managed Menu Extensions" is to provide easy access to adding Right Click menus in the Visual Studio Solution Explorer. This means developers will no longer have to use the cumbersome Visual Studio Add-In model. It should be as easy as inheriting an abstract class, and copying the assembly to a specific location. The second goal is to explore the new .NET 3.5 System.AddIn namespace. The Extension model will be implemented using the functionality provided in this namespace. The first beta release provides Add-In functionality for Visual Studio 2008, later editions will feature Add-In Windows Explorer and perhaps SharpDevelop. A release of Managed Menu Extensions consists of a number of MSI packages. One designed for each specific environment, one containing the contract, wiews, and adapters (from the System.AddIn namespace), and one containing af few simple samples. No matter what environment (of the above mentioned) your a developing right click menus for, you can do it by using the same simple programming model.
