[![Build Status](https://dev.azure.com/tom-englert/Open%20Source/_apis/build/status/VSIX-SdkProjectAdapter?repoName=tom-englert%2FVSIX-SdkProjectAdapter&branchName=master)](https://dev.azure.com/tom-englert/Open%20Source/_build/latest?definitionId=40&repoName=tom-englert%2FVSIX-SdkProjectAdapter&branchName=master)

[![NuGet Status](http://img.shields.io/nuget/v/VSIX-SdkProjectAdapter.svg?style=flat)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/VSIX-SdkProjectAdapter/)

Extends [Microsoft.VSSDK.BuildTools](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.VSSDK.BuildTools/) so you can use SDK style projects for your Visual Studio Extension.

---

### Preparation

- Ensure your VSIX project uses the latest tools: [Writing Visual Studio Extensions with Mads - Upgrading an old extension](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apPIuJCZhUk)

- Migrate your VSIX project to the SDK style project format. (e.g. using [Project Migration Helper](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=TomEnglert.ProjectMigrationHelper)). 

  In this state your project will build the binaries, but does not generate the `.vsix` container.

### Usage

- Add a PackageReference to [VSIX-SdkProjectAdapter](https://github.com/tom-englert/VSIX-SdkProjectAdapter.git)

- **Remove** the import to `Microsoft.VsSDK.targets` from your project:

```xml 

```

---

### Features

- These properties are set by default, so you don't have to include them in your project:

```xml

  true

  Menus.ctmenu

```

- The `VSPackage` resources and corresponding `.vsct` files are automatically included, so you don't have to include them in your project:

```xml

  

    Designer

  

  

  

    true

    VSPackage

  

  

  

    true

    %(FileName).resources

    VSPackage.resx

  

  <_VSCTLocalizedFiles Include="*.*.vsct" />

  <_VSCTNeutralFile Include="*.vsct" Exclude="@(_VSCTLocalizedFiles)"/>

  

  

    $(VSCTResourceName)

    Designer

  

  

  

    $(VSCTResourceName)

    Designer

    @(_VSCTNeutralFile)

  

```

- Provides a build target to set the version in your `source.extension.manifest` file; just use ` Version="|%CurrentProject%;GetVsixVersion|"` in your manifest file.

  Turn of the target by setting the property `` to `true`:

```xml

  

    

      $(Version)

    

    

```

- Disable all features at once by setting the property `` to `true`
