VS2010 Adds Custom Menu Item to Solution Explorer Files

Question

Hi guys, I need to create a custom menu item for Visual Studio 2010 add-on in C #, but I was not lucky to find a solution for my needs.

I know that there was a similar post ( Visual Studio add-on - adding a context menu item to Solution-Explorer ), but this did not help, since the blog follows the process through the integration package, and the video runs through VB. I tried to convert the VB syntax to C # syntax, but about halfway through the video, add-in methods changed significantly from 2005 to 2010, as some of the methods were deleted or changed.

Are there any good tutorials on creating a custom menu item in Solution Explorer in the latest Visual Studio in C #, and is there a good website that can be used as reference to view the VS add-in API? I used the main Microsoft website, however it is confusing and verbose, which is difficult to understand and find the methods, properties or commands that I am looking for.

Any help would be called, thanks in advance.

Answer 2

I don’t know anything about this, but you can check the MME MenuManagerTemplate and sister project on CodePlex Managed Menu Extensions

It appears that most of the code is in the CodePlex project, so you can see how this project is implemented.
