Visual Studio 2008 Shell
The Visual Studio 2008 Shell was just announced. After seeing the screenshots and reading the main features:
-
Faster Development. The Visual Studio Shell accelerates development by providing a base integrated development environment that can host custom tools and programming languages.
-
A Familiar Environment. Developers can build on the Visual Studio platform and provide end users a familiar user interface, speeding the learning curve for both.
-
Optimized for Languages & Tools. Created in response to requests from our partners, the Visual Studio Shell gives you the option of integrating your tools with Visual Studio or creating an isolated, custom-branded application.
I can only say WOW; finally extending VS will be much easier. :)
Meanwhile you can continue using VSIPFactory and of course a version running on top of Visual Studio 2008 Shell will be available in the future. :)
