VSpluginD is plugin for Visual Studio 2005.
It is written in C# using VS SDK.

http://trac.dsource.org/projects/vsplugind/

It require VS Standard or above edition. not working in Express Edition.

Currently it support D Syntax Highlighing, BraceMatching, Basic Build operation. Intellisense is incomplete, it complete only local/global declaration and MemberCompletion for simple type like "struct vec3{float x,y,z;}"

VSpluginD will be open sourced. though I've not uploaded yet. Anyone interested in Visual Studio plugin please help.

Great start!
I have been interested in something like this quite a while now. There have been a couple projects in the past that did this, but they were not open source, and were very incomplete (probably half what you have already). I considered doing it myself but I took one look at how MS does it in the VSIP SDK and gave up before I started :)
But I didn't realize it was possible to do from C# code. I would be interested in contributing to the project once you add code to the trunk. Email me if you want: ctlajoie at gmail.

Cool great start. I don't have time to test it in the next few days but I can't wait to give it a try.

Great stuff!

Unfortunately I get the following error when trying to compile a newly created D Project:

------ Build started: Project: Project2, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
D Build Task...
Args = -of.\bin\Debug\Project2.exe -debug -g -od.\obj\Debug -w main.d
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\VSpluginD\VSpluginD.targets(172,5): Error:
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The system cannot find the path
specified
at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithCreateProcess(ProcessStartInfo
startInfo)
at System.Diagnostics.Process.Start()
at VSpluginD.DMD.Execute()
Done building project "Project2.dproj" -- FAILED.
Build FAILED.
========== Build: 0 succeeded or up-to-date, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========

If I dubble-click the error, it opens VSpluginD.targets and jumps to line
173:
 Sources="@(Compile)"

DMD.exe is in my path. I've added it also to the options under "VC++ Directories" / "Executable files", but same thing.

I really would love to help develop this plug-in futher, by the way!

Lio, I think its hard coded with the c:\dmd\bin\ path. Try putting your dmd there.

Sorry for inconvenience.
Current implementation hardcoded dmd compiler path and Phobos src path.

It need to be added option page something like "VSpluginD Settigs" at [Option][Project&Solutoin] page.

Thanks for reporting that, I noticed forgetting to check invalid compiler path. so, raw Exception message shown.

There have been a couple projects in the past that did this, but they were not open source, and were very incomplete (probably half what you have already). I considered doing it myself but I took one look at how MS does it in the VSIP SDK and gave up before I started :)

I had developed VSpluginD in C++ before.
but it require a lot of code and knowledge of COM.
so I switch to develop in C#.

VS SDK (formally called VSIP SDK) provide MPF(Managed Package Framework).
it is relatively easy to develop VS language plugin.

the drawback is, It only support VS2005, not working VS2002/2003.
and It might be possible that entire source written in C#. It may be relatively
slow than wrriten in native language in large project.

VS SDK license have changed from 2005. it allow open source development explicitly.see new license in SDK installer.

I uploaded source zip to svn download area.
see dsource.org forum for description.






I've uploaded source zip to svn download area.
see dsource.org forum for more details.
