For Arduino beginers like my self...

Please, consider to support using "example" folders like Arduino IDE. 

Regards!

Yes I have been trying to think of how to implement this in a nice way.

+ The current system of adding libraries and boards to the menus needs to change because we want to add support for other boards such as chipkit etc.

I think we need a "Platform Explorer" tree view tool window window showing examples, libraries etc for the currently selected platform. 

A tree view would be really quick to refresh when the board is changed, it would also provide options for installing new libraries and platforms.

For example
Arduino
ChipKit
Maple etc..

This would mean that when you switch board only the tree view needs to change. Adding removing menu items in VS is REALLY slow, so adding the examples to menus is something we should avoid.

In the meantime, you should be able to open a blank visual studio (no solution open) and use windows file explorer to drag/drop any Arduino example pde/ino onto Visual Studio.

[b]You will find the arduino examples under each library folder in windows explorer

Thanks again for the prompt. You were right it makes a big difference having reference and examples on hand.

There is a new "micro explorer" help tool in the next version that provides these features. You can read a little more about it here if interested.

Thanks again

Thanks, a few days I hope. The delay is always making and testing the vs 2008 version.

If I run out of time I will make a quick 2010 interim release. Are you following visualmicro on codeplex?

Sad   Gee, I didn't... Just once a while come here. Could you write me a link please.
Last two weeks I'm developing some HW and negotiating with China supplyers. Quite busy, didn't had time to open VS since then. But, lot to work ahead in VS and VisualMicro. ( I can't wait   Wink )

Cheers !
