Paco,
I want to add my thanks to your efforts to develop a mono addin for VS. I'm currently buried developing several company projects in the W2K/WinXp environment, but expect to have some time in the future to get more involved in evaluating mono on Linux and Unix systems.
The ability to work on mono projects in the VS environment will greatly increase the acceptance by those of us who use (and appreciate) the tools that VS affords.
Your work is really appreciated.
Regards
Bob in Lone Oak, Texas USA

As a little update to the development status of my Add-in, I have
completed the first Alpha release of it. It is contained in an MSI
file. I will likely change it to a NSIS installer package later on. If
you or anyone decides to install it, you can expect this.:
- A new pop-up menu called prj2make placed at the top of the
Visual Studio .NET 2003 Tools menu.
- Create Makefile should generate acceptable nmake.exe
Makefile.Win32 files targeting csc.exe and the .NET runtiime.
- All other menu options are to be treated as "Under
Construction" (I have kept them there as a preview of where I am going
with this).
You can find the MSI on the 'files' section of the Novell Forge project
page for prj2make-sharp:
http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1395
should be near the bottom of the page. Or you can fetch it out of the
Forge ftp site using:
http://ftp.novell.com/pub/forge/prj2make-sharp/Windows/v0.95/vsprj2makeSetup.msi

The initial work on this Add-in (going on 43 hours) has lead me to
believe that the biggest contribution that this effort can give the
community right now is the core mechanics on how to write a VS Add-in in
the first place. If nothing else you can always look at the code in CVS.

The Add-in could have been a lot further along in terms of capabilities
and functionality, but no one has collaborated with me in the issues
that I posed on a posting I submitted on Jun 19 to the [Mono-devel-list]
with Subject: Visual Studio Addin.
I realize that everybody is very occupied right now with Mono 1.0
release issues, but I can't help to feel a bit sadden by the fact that
aside from you and Urs, I have not received any comments (good or bad)
on this effort.
Best regards.
Paco
