What does it mean when Visual Studio disables an addin

by Visual Micro 11. April 2010 21:56

If Visual Studio 2005/2008 encounters a problem with an addin it will disable it by altering the addin xml.

To enable the addin again ensure the addin xml is in the "\document\visual studio x\addin\" folder, as per the installtion guide, and ensure the following settings are in the .addin xml

 <LoadBehavior>5</LoadBehavior>

<CommandPreload>1</CommandPreload>

<CommandLineSafe>1</CommandLineSafe>

We can use different arduino engines to power our visual studio addin. However, please use the arduino 0022 engine until we have an arduino 1.0 solution.

The new version of Arduino for Visual Studio includes initial suport for the new arduino .ino file extension. You can not yet compile for arduino 1.0 but you can compile sketches containg a mix of .pde and .ino sketches.

Multiple sketch projects and windows projects can co-exist in a single solution. Fully integrated. F5 Compile and upload (startup project). Build Project, Build Solution
