Sitefinity VSIX

Sitefinity VSIX

Sitefinity VSIX is a Visual Studio extension that allows developers to create Sitefinity related resources.

Description

With the help of Sitefinity VSIX, developers can quickly and easily scaffold Sitefinity projects and implement Sitefinity resources. The tool is focused on facilitating the development of MVC widgets and templates as MVC is considered the optimal choice for development in Sitefinity. The actual VSIX implementation is a wrapper of Sitefinity CLI. If you need to extend or modify the default built-in VSIX functionalities, you can acquire the code from the GitHub repository by submitting a pull request.

NOTE: This extension works with Visual Studio 2019 (and previous Visual Studio versions). For Visual Studio 2022 use the new extension available here.
