Integration with Visual Studio

Modified By admsteck on 7/16/2008 12:41:47 PM)

I was just wondering if anyone has done any work on integrating bugnet directly into Visual Studio? I saw an add-in for Eclipse recently that allowed the developer to view tasks in a seperate pane inside the IDE and then view the details in what looked like a web browser in the IDE. I was looking at Visual Studio's extensability and it looks like it would be possible to replicate the same functionality using the existing "Task" pane. If anyone has already started something similar please let me know. Otherwise I will probably start a SourceForge project with what I have been messing with the last day or two.

Re: Integration with Visual Studio

Hi Admsteck,

What a great idea!!! Davin will be chuffed at this! There is nothing like this at the moment.

Which IDE versions are you thinking about targeting (if you have even given this some thought)?

It is probably best if you don't register a new sourceforge project, send an email or private message to Davin (admin) and ask him to add your sourceforge login to the main BugNET project on SF. However this is up to you.

Let us know when you have something to show.

Re: Integration with Visual Studio

Integration with VS would be very cool. As Stewart suggested, I could add you to the projects svn and create your own source tree so that you can work on it without impacting the main project. Also fine if you want to create your own project and manage it that way.

Re: Integration with Visual Studio

Sounds good. I registered for a SourceForge project yesterday but it is still pending approval. On the plus side I have been working on this for the past few days and I have the worst part working for the most part. Right now I am working in Visual Studio 2008 with the 2008 SDK and haven't tried anything with 2005. I've been using the "CodeSweep" example from the SDK for a good portion of the code. I haven't really looked at BugNet 0.8 so I'm not sure how much of the web services are working so I've been using the RSS feed from the BugList.aspx in version 0.7 which is saved along with the Visual Studio project. I am using the existing Task window in Visual Studio and adding "BugNet Tasks" to the drop down list. That's as far as I got so far, but I would like to add the ability to bring up a web browser in VS and view the bring up the BugDetails.aspx for the task. I would also like to be able to "activate" a task and record the time spent working so when you "deactivate" the item it can create a time tracking entry for the task in BugNet (hopefully the web service will support this). If anyone has any ideas please let me know and I will be sure to let you know when the SourceForge project is up and running. Just as a teaser, below is a screen shot of what I have so far showing the task pane and the window to enter the feed url.
