Getting started with Visual Studio 2010 Extensibility - 3 questions

1.) How differs "Visual Studio 开发者_C百科Package" project from the "VSIX" project?

2.) Where I can find some beginners guides?

3.) Where I can find a overview of the extensibility model or extension points of Visual Studio 2010?

Thanks in advance!

Can you explain what type of extension you want to write? It may change my answers here.

1. Both projects produce a VSIX. the VSIX project just produces an empty one, whereas the package project sets you up with a Managed Package Framework package. Here are some walkthroughs for packages.

2. You can try the main page for extending visual studio. If you give more information about what you want to build, I can point you at more specific sources.

3. Depends on what you are trying to do. There are guides on the Visual Studio SDK, which has sections on language services, editors (adding new editor factories or extending the built-in editor), extending the debugger, etc.
