I have found in Internet some video sample that explains how to add my own page into Tools-> Window dialog. But it's not clear for me how and where should I save my own settings?
Thanks
You will most likely need to create a Visual Studio Add-In, get a handle to the menu item you want to modify and go from there.

when I create a new project the first time I can see the Design viewer option, but when I close VS and reload the project the second time I can't see the design viewer anymore, I didn't find the solution please help!
When you open VS you may see the code page. If you want to see the designer view, click in the menu View and Designer. You can also use the shortcut SHIFT+F7. But first make sure, you opened the file in the project explorer.
Sometimes when I open my Visual Studio form designer, I see the [Add] text to create a new BarButtonItem, other times I don't. This has led me to search for a way to create a new button several times now. Any idea what might be causing this?
Try to right click your bar manager, and check the Show DesignTime Enhancements.
Here is a link that may help.
is there an Add-In which allows me to tag or mark files in Visual Studio and then these files are visual highlighted (eg. different background color) ?
I searched the Visual Studio Gallery but didn't find anything.
Thanks!
To highlight only the active (open and viewed) item in the solution explorer (without any add-ins):
Go to Tools -> Options -> Projects And Solutions
Then Check the Track Active Item in Solution Explorer option.
But if you really want to use any extension in order to mark the files you already checked/reworked so that you get an better overview or whatever then I would suggest ReSharper which has a number of features assisting navigation and search.
For example, there is a To-do Explorer which helps navigation between to-do items within the solution. You can also create custom filters in Resharper To-do Explorer. After creating custom filters according to your need, you will have to leave comments wherever required but you won't have to open all the files to read the comments.
I found the extension Visual Studio Tags on codeplex that can do what we need, but there's not (yet) visual support (ie, diferent colors in solution explorer).
I want to extend Visual Studio such that, when someone right clicks on Solution Explorer, context menu should have a new menu item, say "Open custom form", clicking which should open a form (this form would actually accept some settings and modify config file accordingly)
Q1. Please provide on where should I start for such extension. Couldn't find any reference/tutorial link :(
Q2. What technology can be used to make such a form - Winforms/WPF?
Either Windows Forms or WPF should be fine.
SO: Visual Studio Add-In - adding a context menu item to solution-explorer
Google Code: explorer-popup-add-in
There's a lot of docs on Visual Studio integration here
I want to know if this is possible. I have a small piece of software that I have written, that would work well if it can be incorporated into visual studio as an add-on. Is it possible to create an add-on that when the user right clicks on a project, the drop down menu includes an option to select my add-in?
Thanks
Here you go!
