Does not work anymore in VS2017 version 15.5.0 :-( #28

Closed rwjdk closed 6 years ago

rwjdk commented 6 years ago

I've been using the brilliant extension the last months in VS2017 but with latest 15.5.0 release, the page does not work anymore. It just shows empty "Getting started" and "Recent" :-(

Hope it is possible to fix

Seems like they've changed quite a bit of the start page internals, causing loads of binding errors:

As usual any documentation on how to properly create custom start pages is non-existent or at least woefully out of date, so this will probably require some trial & error :(

Same here

stephanemathis commented 6 years ago

Same for me, too bad.

BladeMF commented 6 years ago

Same here, but started 15.5.1.

SocSoftSpb commented 6 years ago

Same here. Have plan to fix it?

Danielku15 commented 6 years ago

I will try to fix the problem these days. I am currently quite busy but will do my best to get it done. The structure of the new startpage is quite a nightmare when it comes to injecting custom controls there.

Update1:

I have a fix ready, but first I'll need to test if the plugin still works on all VS versions which might take a bit longer.

Danielku15 commented 6 years ago

New Version 1.15 is published to the marketplace and should be compatible again with all VS versions.

rwjdk commented 6 years ago

Just install and work as intended... Thank you so much for fast bug-fix and in general for an awesome extension :-)

IngbertPalm commented 6 years ago

Same here. Works with version 15.5.

Unfortunately doesn't work with the latest VS preview (15.6 Preview 1.0). The risk is high that with the next update there will be again a breaking change from MS :-(

Thank you for this great extension :-)

yannduran commented 6 years ago

It's working for me again too. I love this extension!

Thanks so much Daniel!
