Integrating IronScheme into Visual Studio 2010

1k Views Asked by At

Is there a way (or can anyone find a way) to import IronScheme into VS2010? I've already taken a look at this question, and I've done everything I could - I even edited the binary files involved to change the version numbers. My question: Does anyone have a solution for getting IronScheme installed into VisualStudio 2010? at present, following the directions to install it into VS2008 does not work for VS2010. Thanks in advance :)

Update 1: I suppose I should post the error I get when I try to follow the directions for installing it via commandline:

C:\Program Files\IronScheme>RegPkg.exe /codebase "C:\Program Files\IronScheme\IronScheme.VisualStudio.dll"

After I run that, I get a Windows 7 popup error:

RegPkg.exe Has Stopped Working - Windows is checking for a solution to the problem...

When I click out of that, it gives me this error on the console:

Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.9.0, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

I wrote the VS2008 plugin.

When VS2010, the whole API changed again, and if you have ever been in the VS SDK API, you will know it is a maze. I just did not feel like the effort again.

I have a bunch of great ideas but for the life of me I cannot even figure the simple stuff out.

If someone want to actually port my code from VS2008, I would appreciate it. It should not be too hard if you are a bit more familiar with the API than I am.

The source code for the VS2008 plugin is not currently available for the public. Please let me know if anyone is serious about so I can create a github (or similar) repo for it.

Update:

Created a github repo. The code is not the same as the existing DLL I distribute; it contains various half working ideas I was trying.

Update 2:

Here you go :) Very basic, but works on VS2010 and VS11 (should work on Express versions too). Source is in the vs11 branch of above mentioned github repo. It is just a subset of what the VS2008 plugin does as some features seem to be broken or have broken due to bit rot.

Update 3:

Seems the VS2010 plugin fails if only VS2010 is installed. Will have to investigate. Works fine if both VS2010 and VS11 is installed. FIXED :)

I have started rewriting a new plugin.

You can see the github repo for more details:

There is also a download available to try out :)
