New Post: Extend VS2008 - GAX

chinedu — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 14:10:08 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to create an extension in Visual studio 2008 that would give developers options when adding a new class -

We have a recurring pattern where when you add a View, you would have to add an IView interface, A view Presenter or ViewModel etc.

We would like to automate the additions of these required classes and wire up the boilerplate dependencies.

Is there an example somewhere or resources I could look-up on how to get this done with GAX/GAT

New Post: Installing GAX 2008 on VISTA/SP1 for VS2005

bjanderson70 — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 17:14:43 GMT

I
am running Vista SP1. I downloaded the latest GAX - Feb 2008 ( http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=df79c099-4753-4a59-91e3-5020d9714e4e&DisplayLang=en) installed it, and then installed the GAT for VS2005 --- no issues.

However, I am not seeing the Guidance Package projects nor Guidance Package Manager on VS2005 Tools->Guidance Package Manager as described in the readme manual. Actually, no guidance automation at all.

When I attempt to repair the GAX it complains that I do not have Visual Studio installed ( doesn’t say which one). My suspicions are that it is referring to VS2008. Also, I was unable to UNINSTALL it. I had to resort to Register removal.

Did I miss a step? Anybody have any remedies/thoughts ? My customer is not running VS2008 so I don’t want to install this in order to get GAX running.

General Information:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005

Version 8.0.50727.867 (vsvista.050727-8600)

Microsoft .NET Framework

Version 2.0.50727 SP1

Thanks in advance,

This is really great that the source code is provided.

Any chance you could release any unit tests etc. I'm sure you guys have tested the library ;-)

There is not a single instance of Guidance Automation Extension listed in my Control Panel.
The folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Guidance Automation Extensions also has two .rft and one .chm file.

Yet, when I attempt to run the GAX Feb 2008 installer, I get the following error:

"You must uninstall your current version of the GAX prior to installing this version"

Any ideas how to completely remove this previous version?

NEW POST: Guidance automation extensions exception

ranjith — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 09:06:31 GMT

Hi,

I just installed GAX(Guidance automation extensions) april 2007 msi. When i tried to open a new SCSF project it throws an exception as shown below.

Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.ActionExecutionException: An exception occurred during the binding of reference or execution of recipe CreateSolution. Error was: Action InstallCommunityControls failed to execute:
Command "Tools.InstallCommunityControls" is not valid..
You can remove the reference to this recipe through the Guidance Package Manager. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Command "Tools.InstallCommunityControls" is not valid.

at Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.VisualStudio.Templates.UnfoldTemplate.RunFinished()

What happens is, VS throws such an exception and then closes the project that i tried creating automatically. The other things is, if i now go and see the location where i tried creatin gthis project all the source files have been created successfully.

I can now open the project from within VS2005 using Open Project and it opened successfully. From now on i do not have any problem with running the project solution, adding view, modules etc.

Seems like the problem is only with the creation of the solution. Can you please help on this. reinstalling GAx which never helped. Then i added the registry entry AutoRun under Current users which too never helped( Saw in one of the posts in MSdn forums)

Please advice.

NEW POST: BaseGlobalsEntryAction

2face — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 16:08:10 GMT

Hi,

I was walking through the extensions library and something confused me about the BaseGlobalsEntryAction class

In the GetValue method there is:

return dictservice.GetValue(this.propertyValue) ?? this.propertyValue;

Am I right that you get the value based on the value or is it supposed to be dictservice.GetValue(this.propertyName) instead?
If it is right the way it is, why do you do it this way?

Mike

We don't have any docs yet, unfortunately. This is kind of a side project, and doesn't have any budget, so we can't afford writers.

It came out of the Web Service Software Factory project initially, but other factory projects in p&p started using it too. We though having a single distribution point (i.e. codeplex) would make it easier to manage the dependencies.

I'm absolutely thrilled that other folks can take advantage of GEL too.

I find this library GREAT!
But are there any docs, chms or any documentation at all?
I want to use it to its fullest.

Thanks a lot for the great work P&P team, you rock!
