When u view a project properties in Visual Studio u get a number of tabs.
The standard ones are "Application", "Build", "Build Events" etc.
It is also possible to add custom tabs. For example view the properties of a WebApplication or a VSIX project you get different (extra) tabs.
So how do I write a VSIX addin that adds a custom tab to the project properties windows?
Check out this article: How to: Add and Remove Property Pages.
You create a page like so:
class DeployPropertyPage : Form, Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop.IPropertyPage
{
. . . .
//Summary: Return a stucture describing your property page.
public void GetPageInfo(Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop.PROPPAGEINFO[] pPageInfo)
{
PROPPAGEINFO info = new PROPPAGEINFO();
info.cb = (uint)Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(PROPPAGEINFO));
info.dwHelpContext = 0;
info.pszDocString = null;
info.pszHelpFile = null;
info.pszTitle = "Deployment"; //Assign tab name
info.SIZE.cx = this.Size.Width;
info.SIZE.cy = this.Size.Height;
if (pPageInfo != null && pPageInfo.Length > 0)
pPageInfo[0] = info;
}
}
And you register it like so:
[MSVSIP.ProvideObject(typeof(DeployPropertyPage), RegisterUsing = RegistrationMethod.CodeBase)]
