Are you ready to extend the capabilities of Visual Studio to
become more efficient and productive?
Whether you want to integrate optimized builds, enhanced programming tools, or other rapid application
development features, this unique resource shows you how to develop customized extensions.
It not only covers the Visual Studio IDE but also provides
you with an excellent reference when coding add-ins, macros, and extensions.
After a quick introduction of basic concepts, this book delves into the
automation model and add-in development with the help of a case study, numerous examples, and sample code.
