Basic description

Visual Studio 2013 relies on connections to SharePoint for deployment during the development cycle. This does however not work for SharePoint 2007. A simple tool was therefore needed that allows the developer to easily install dll's into GAC and copy .aspx, .js, etc. to SharePoint root.

NOTE: This tool is developed for internal use and is by no means production quality.

Copy to GAC

There is an option to copy to GAC in the Solution Explorer context menu when one ore more projects are selected. If the command is bound to a key shortcut and used when in the editor. The project containing the active document will be installed into GAC.

Copy to SharePoint root

Two different ways of copying files to SharePoint root are added.

Single/multiple file selection: Selected files are copied to the 12-hive.
Single/multiple project selection: All files contained i a folder with the name 12 is copied.

Files that are copied are placed in the 12-hive accordning to their position relative to a folder named 12 in their path in the project. TypeScript files are not copied, and the command insteads tries to find a .js file in the same folder with the same name and copies that.
