Adding custom menu on right click to project in solution explorer (Visual studio 2010)

Question

I have been trying to add another option in the right click menu (just above Add references) to build some come packages.

I am using VSPackaging (VS 2010) for this. The problem is I am not able to get the correct Guid with which I can get the button in its right place.

I tried the following:

<Menu guid="guidSHLMainMenu" id="IDM_VS_CTXT_ITEMNODE" priority="0x0000" type="Context">

but this only gets as far as getting a control at an item level and not at the project level.

Answer 1

May be this is too old thread but in case if someone reach here you can find the answer

We have to use a different Id if we have to add a new menu item to the Project level content menu

Please replace IDM_VS_CTXT_ITEMNOD with IDM_VS_CTXT_PROJNODE

You can follow a different approach which is the most suitable method if you don't know the Id for a particular menu.
