How I extend Visual Studio?
These are the projects of individuals/companies who presented in the Microsoft's Development Tools Ecosystem Summit 2009 how they are extending Visual Studio:
- Atmel - IDEs for AVR microcontrollers
- Oleg Synch - T4 Toolbox: a set of ready-to-use code generation templates and supporting tools
- Collabnet - Subversion integration
- ComponentOne - enriched VS/SharePoint components, such as a spell-checker for VS and a Silverlight XAP file optimizer
- GamCom - Talmia: process workflow for Team System
- Intel - Parallel Studio: enhances Visual Studio for parallelism (C++)
- JNBridge - .NET / Java interoperability plug-in (for VS and Eclipse)
- Micro Focus - DevPartner Studio integration into VS2010
- Odin Technology - Coded UI test generation from Excel spreadsheets (cool!)
- OpenMake Software - extends build support for environments with multiple versions of .NET (VS 6.0 through 2010)
- PreEmptive - Runtime Intelligence: code instrumentation for finding different kinds of hotspots (such as code heavily used but poorly tested)
I didn't speak this time, but you are always invited to try out my SharpLudus project which extends VS by combining model-driven development with XNA, hopefully enabling a more productive game development process.
