Hi Stoyan, I've been working on an addin for VS.NET that lets you run unit tests (NUnit and JUnit) and arbitrary methods from inside the source editor. When an exception is thrown a new task is added and the stack trace is written to the output pane. There's a method called 'writeStackTrace' in 'VSTestListener.cs' that does this. You'll find it in SourceForge at...
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/nunitaddin/NUnitAddin/NUn itAddin/TestRunner/VSTestListener.cs?rev=1.1&content-type=text/vnd.viewc vs-markup (sorry about the line wrap) You can find more information about the addin on the project weblog here... http://dotnetweblogs.com/NUnitAddin/Category/177.aspx?Name=NUnitAddin You can download the addin installer from here... http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=64706 I hope you can find something of use in there. Let me know how you get on. Good luck, Jamie. -----Original Message----- From: Stoyan Damov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 25 March 2003 15:18 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] VS.NET add-in question Hi! I'm writing an add-in for VS.NET (2002, not Everett). I subscribe to the OnBuildBegin event, and want to output some errors on the task pane while a solution is being compiled. The tasks show up in the pane, but when I click on a task, it won't jump to the source file's line and column. How do I properly add tasks to the tasks pane in order to navigate from them to the source files? I remember that when a custom tool in VS6 should writes <file name>(line,column) : error message\n then when you click on the line, the IDE jumps to the file/line/column It works for VS.NET too, and I do output the formatted error message, but it won't generate a build error task in the task pane, so it's useless. I'm not in a hurry, as I do this for fun, so take your time:) Thanks, Stoyan P.S. I use the following code to add a task to the task pane: <snippet lang="C#"> Window window = applicationObject.Windows.Item (Constants.vsWindowKindTaskList); TaskList taskList = (TaskList) window.Object; taskList.TaskItems.Add ( vsTaskCategories.vsTaskCategoryBuildCompile, vsTaskCategories.vsTaskCategoryUser, "Some Message\n", vsTaskPriority.vsTaskPriorityHigh, vsTaskIcon.vsTaskIconCompile, false, fileName, ((CodeElement) att.Parent).StartPoint.Line, // ignore this... false, true); </snippet> =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor(r) http://www.develop.com You may be interested in Guerrilla .NET, 24 March 2003, in London and Boston http://www.develop.com/courses/gdotnet View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
