Sams Teach Yourself Visual Studio .NET in 21 Days will help developers that are new to application development and experienced developers understand how to use the .NET Framework and Visual Studio .NET to rapidly develop any type of computer application. The Visual Studio .NET development environment is the most comprehensive developer tool ever created, putting that together with the .NET Frameworks' Class Libraries, the developer has everything he or she needs to get up-to-speed on Microsoft's latest revolution in application development. This book will guide the developer through using the VS .NET IDE, the Visual Basic .NET and C# language, and the supporting tools available from Microsoft to create Windows and Web-based applications. The market is full of books that pretty much say the same thing, which is already available in the help files, the author of this book has written and deployed over a dozen successful applications using Visual Studio .NET and the .NET Framework. All of his expertise and experience is used to give you the most comprehensive title on using Visual Studio .NET.
Taking the Next Step with Add-ins
As you can see by the simple add-in that you wrote today, there's a lot you can do with add-ins. The next step in add-in development is to study the other objects that you can work with in add-in projects and the EnvDTE namespace.To start becoming familiar with those objects, search Dynamic Help for the various objects that you can interact with. They might include
- CommandBars object
- OutputWindow object
- TextWindow object
- TaskList object
- CodeDom namespace
Each of these objects gives you access to the IDE. CodeDom is a super-powerful namespace that helps you create methods to add language-specific code to the Code Editor. To see how you would look up the TextWindow object in Dynamic Help, Figure 17.15 is an example of searching for the TextWindow object.
Figure 17.15. Searching Dynamic Help for the TextWindow object.
Some useful add-ins that I can think of are
- Backing up your project to another location on the network
- Zipping and emailing a project or a project file to another developer
- Analyzing the code in your project to create custom help files
- Accessing code in a SQL Server code library, which you're going to build in the exercises later today
