The VSCT stuff is pretty flexible, so far so good :D

@yannduran
why not do it all a a WPF usercontrol then?
you could still use a WPF toolbar, and then you can style that text button to be non-clickable
Casey Banner
@kcbanner_twitter
I had tried that, but I wanted the commands to have a consistent look as the context menus / menus
And re-implementing all the toggle buttons and stuff in WPF trying to get them to match in behavior didn't seem worth it just for this text.
Yann Duran
@yannduran
you wouldn't have to reimplement them, just use styles :-P
but fair enough, i was just trying to help with suggestions
Casey Banner

:thumbsup: thanks! I think I may add a WPF status bar for the progress and move the text there.
Yann Duran
@yannduran
good idea

may be someone knows... is there any plans to upgrade C# layer of VS to net5/6? may be for future VS202x? from an outsider's point of view WPF is not a block issue anymore, does additional huge issues exists? (I am just wondering)

@CyrusNajmabadi
Future plans for VS can't really be discussed.

Hello everyone, how to get its warning level through a warning code？
Johan Larsson
@JohanLarsson
Not sure how you mean, do you ant default severity?
If so maybe source diving is the best way

does Visual Studio provide out of the box APIs to store data in Credential Vault? I'm looking to have a Setting that stores an API key

Is there a way of retrieving the user identity in an extension? I'm working on a student homework submission extension, and all our students have 360 accounts.

@bluetarpmedia
@InTheCloudDan @zombiepaladin Assuming you're writing C# VSIX extensions, you have access to the full .NET framework, plus Win32 via pinvoke. You can write code just like any desktop app.
@InTheCloudDan So you could use the Win32 Credential Management API or a wrapper like this nuget package: https://www.nuget.org/packages/CredentialManagement/
@zombiepaladin Maybe this will return what you need? Environment.UserDomainName
Dan O'Brien
@InTheCloudDan
thanks @bluetarpmedia !

Hello everyone, how to get the coordinates of the code line
Matt Lacey
@mrlacey
@yangdehua1981 can you provide more context? Do you mean a Span within the document? or position relative to the editor window? or something else?

what's the best and recommended way to install one specific nuget FROM my vsix? (I need to install one specific nuget to the project of opened solution from a Command in my vsix extension); any ideas are welcome!
Vyacheslav Avdeev
@lsoft
IVsPackageInstaller2? if so, it looks like there is no async version exists. should I run it from main thread?
jquery2005
@jquery2005
@lsoft Use the command to call and install nuget (nuget install) package address?
Vyacheslav Avdeev
@lsoft
@jquery2005 yeah, may be. or to prefer IVsPackageInstaller2? what's the recommended way? I don't know :)
I guess, VS-way looks preferable than the direct command...

@lsoft Best/Recommended? Not sure - but doing it the way Mads Kristensen did it might be worth considering?

Hi guys, i'm trying to figure out if its possible to set a default desiner (maybe default EditorFactory) per project type, i can see an example with ProvideXmlEditorChooserDesignerView, the registry keys that are being added to the pkgdef seem to be xml related. Is it possible to create a chooser like for a custom file type in a custom project? Any information would be appriciated! Thanks!
Yann Duran
@yannduran
@lsoft don't use System.Threading.ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(), anymore, have a read of Cookbook for Visual Studio for more up-to-date ways of doing it
Vyacheslav Avdeev
@lsoft
how interesting!!! @yannduran thanks!
Yann Duran
@yannduran
@lsoft I hope you find it helpful

Any lead in regards to a possible way to control the default editor, regardless or in regards to project type would be great

@mrlacey I already know how to do it. Thank you for your reply

Hi everyone - question about VSIX:

We're providing packages for Visual Studio 2017 and 2019 and upon installing it takes a long time to run, moreover, it installs other components than listed in our vsixmanifest (e.g. Microsoft.Net.Core.SDK.2.1 which frequently fails to install).

  • Is there a way to "debug" the VSIX?
  • How to make the installation faster/simpler, not invoking any downloads nor other packages installation?
Yann Duran
@yannduran
@jakubmisek to debug the VSIX, you simply press F5
Jakub Míšek
@jakubmisek
@yannduran I mean the installation process itself. We are Visual Studio partners and building Visual Studio extensions since 2005, but the new VSIX installer is magical
Yann Duran
@yannduran
Oh, not that I know of, no
Jakub Míšek
@jakubmisek
@yannduran thank you, although any idea would be appreciated :)
Yann Duran
@yannduran
@jakubmisek what's probably happening is one of the components listed in you vsixmanifest is dependent on elements that you haven't directly specified
Jakub Míšek
@jakubmisek

@yannduran this is our dependencies section of .vsixmanifest:

    <Dependencies>
        <Dependency Id="Microsoft.Framework.NDP" DisplayName="Microsoft .NET Framework" Version="4.6" />
        <Dependency IsRequired="false" Version="[15.0,16.0)" d:Source="Installed" Id="TestWindow.Microsoft.0771d463-d74d-4e95-aac2-39d3c7ec1f97" DisplayName="Test Explorer"/>
    </Dependencies>
    <Prerequisites>
        <Prerequisite Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.CoreEditor" Version="[15.0,16.0)" DisplayName="Visual Studio core editor" />
        <Prerequisite Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Web" Version="[15.0,16.0)" DisplayName="ASP.NET and web development tools" />
    </Prerequisites>

Not sure which one might cause VS to always attempt to install .NET Core SDK 2.1. It only happens on VS 2017 tho.

Yann Duran
@yannduran

for a start, you can get rid of the Microsoft.Framework.NDP dependency, it's not needed anymore - but it won't be the source of your problem though

it's possible that Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Web requires Microsoft.Net.Core.SDK.2.1 to be installed

Jakub Míšek
@jakubmisek
thanks! we'll try removing that. It's there basically since 2012 but now Web is always included, as well as .NET Framework always was.
Yann Duran
@yannduran
why is TestWindow.Microsoft.0771d463-d74d-4e95-aac2-39d3c7ec1f97 a dependency?
Jakub Míšek
@jakubmisek
it's a non-required dependency, since we integrate into Test Explorer. This weird dependency ID was taken from Python Tools for Visual Studio (https://github.com/microsoft/PTVS/blob/master/Python/Product/Core/source.extension.vsixmanifest)
Yann Duran
@yannduran
try without it maybe?
Jakub Míšek
@jakubmisek
so basically we'll try to remove all the dependencies, and check if it fixes it :)
Yann Duran
@yannduran
it's always best to not have anything in there that you don't know you need, especially when you're experiencing weird problems

Anyone using IToolboxService? I use GetToolboxItems method to get WinForms toolbox items. However, the service does not work with .NET Core 3.1 items that are populated via a NuGet package. It there an alternative?
