Project System Extensibility extension for VS2022

[ahoemb]

Any plans to release this?

@drewnoakes Seems current extension only works for VS2017, any update when it will be updated for 2019 or 2022?

[drewnoakes]

Are you referring to the sample code here?

[johnwc]

I'm referring to the third requirement in the prequisites, the Visual Studio Project System Extensibility Preview.

[drewnoakes]

Thanks. For what it's worth, I never installed that and am able to develop with CPS in VS2022.

Make sure you have the VS Extensibility workload installed via the VS installer:

Beyond that, I'm not aware of any other special requirements. Is there something that extension gave you that you miss?

I will check to see if I have that checked and installed. I believe I was looking for the additional project types that the mentioned add-on adds to VS. Trying to create a CodeGenerator that can read the project's properties set on a file. And a VS UI add-on that I can use to set those properties on the selected file.

We have an OpenAPI yaml schema file in a project. Needing to create a UI/VS Options on the file to set properties like language of code to produce, along with other options the code generator supports. These options would be placed in the project file under the file, like shown below. Then when the code generator is run for the file, it can read these options to know the configuration to run for the generator.

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>
    <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
    <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
  </PropertyGroup>
  ...
  <ItemGroup>
    <None Update="Zoho\API\ZohoOAuthSDK.yaml">
      <CustomToolNamespace>Company.CRM.Zoho.API.oAuth</CustomToolNamespace>
      <Generator>OpenApiCodeGenerator</Generator>
      <OpenApiLanguage>CSharp</OpenApiLanguage>
      <OpenApiOption...>???</OpenApiOption...>
      <OpenApiOption...>???</OpenApiOption...>
      <LastGenOutput>ZohoOAuthSDK.cs</LastGenOutput>
    </None>
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

+1 I want to create a new project type and was following this https://github.com/microsoft/VSProjectSystem/blob/master/doc/overview/define_a_new_project_type.md

All I need is a project type to mimic everything that C# does. Basically a new Project Guid. I was trying to do this from a VSIX and that was muddied up by VSPS, MPF or https://github.com/dotnet/project-system documentation. It just isn't clear to me how to create a new Project Type in VS 2022. Are we suppose to lean to VSPS Extensibility? If so the documentation mentioned above doesn't work for VS2022. I would love to help in document, but its not clear of where to start. Seems like the Project-system is where to start, but I only need the project itself. Everything else should inherit from the C# project. Isn't that what VSProjectSystem was supposed to address without the difficulties of a full blown MPFProj?

Any help would be appreciated.
