Introduction

This article is the continuation of “Creating your first visual studio VSIX package” article of the series Visual Studio

Extensibility. The first part focused on creating a Visual Studio extension to locate a file or folder in windows explorer,

the second part was more about deploying the visual studio extension to staging server via continuous integration. This

article will illustrate how to add or embed the visual studio extension or visual studio package into a Visual Studio

Isolated Shell application. Visual Studio provides the flexibility to create our own IDE or a Visual Studio kind of product

altogether having custom extensions or some pre-defined functionalities of visual studio. Therefore one can get their

custom Visual Studio as a product which could be sold in the market.

In this article I’ll explain how one can customize the basic Visual Studio Isolated shell application and add a custom

extension to the shell application. Visual Studio can be completely customized from its launch screen to the advanced

functionalities which it provides.

Roadmap

Let me again revise the roadmap of this series of Visual Studio Extensibility. The series will be divided into three articles

as mentioned below, and we’ll focus more on practical implementations and hands-on rather than going much into

theory.

1. Visual Studio Extensibility (Day 1): Creating your first visual studio VSIX package

2. Visual Studio Extensibility (Day 2): Deploying the VSIX package on staging server and GIT via Continuous

Integration

3. Visual Studio Extensibility (Day 3): Embedding VSIX package in Visual Studio Isolated Shell

Prerequisites

The prerequisite for this article is a running application that was created in part one or second of this series. The source

code for the prior application having a vsix extension could be downloaded along with this article or from Github.

Visual Studio Shell

Visual Studio Shell has two modes, Integrated and Isolated. Following are the definitions for both the modes. One can

read more on MSDN.

Integrated Mode

“Integrated mode enables your users to use standard Visual Studio features along with your custom tools. The integrated

shell is intended primarily for hosting programming languages and software development tools.

Custom tools that are built on the integrated shell automatically merge with any other edition of Visual Studio that is

installed on the same computer. You can provide a redistributable version of the Visual Studio integrated shell if Visual

Studio is not already installed.

The redistributable version of the Visual Studio integrated shell does not include programming languages and the

features that support their respective project systems.”

Isolated Mode

“Isolated mode allows you to create custom tools that run side-by-side with other versions of Visual Studio. It is intended

primarily for tools that can access Visual Studio services without depending on all the standard Visual Studio features.

You can customize the appearance of applications built on the Visual Studio isolated shell. You can easily turn off the

features and menu command groups that you do not wish to appear together with your application.”

Visual Studio Isolated Shell

The definition from the MSDN says,

“The Visual Studio isolated shell allows you to create stand-alone applications that can run side-by-side with other

versions of Visual Studio. It is used primarily to host specialized tools that can use Visual Studio services but also have a

customized appearance and branding. Visual Studio features and menu command groups can be easily turned on and off.

Application titles, application icons, and splash screens are fully customizable.” Read more…

Like I described at the start of the article that using Visual Studio Isolated shell you can create/customize Visual Studio

like product. There is a lot of theory around this which could be read over internet on MSDN. This article will focus on

creating a simple Visual studio isolated shell application and integrating the pre-developed extension into it as the

complete theory part is beyond the scope of this article.

Create Isolated Shell Application

Step 1(Create new project): Open Visual Studio 2015, go to File->New->Project

Step 2(Choose Isolated shell): In the installed project templates, expand the node for Other Project Types and

choose Extensibility as project type. Choose Visual Studio Isolated Shell from the available templates under Extensibility

and give the application a name for e.g. ShellApplication and shown in below image. Extensibility project types will only

be available if you have extensibility features on while installing Visual Studio 2015, you can also modify visual studio

installation to make these features available. This is explained in first part of the series.

Step 3(Get the solution): When “OK” button is clicked, Visual studio installs the necessary nugget packages and

creates a solution with the same name as given earlier and this solution contains four projects. This is the basic structure

of Isolated shell application and could be extended as per requirements. In the main editor screen one can see the page

containing all the information and link to good visual studio isolated shell articles on MSDN.

Basic Isolated Shell Solution Structure

ShellApplication Project

This is the main project responsible for customized appearance of isolated shell application, all the customizations and

actions could be controlled from this projects. This project contains the folder named ShellCustomization which allows

on how the application would look like, what should be the start / launch screen and what features we can enable or

disable from the existing visual studio features. One can do this by customizing pkgdef or pkgundef file. Read more

about customization..

ShellApplication.AboutBoxPackage Project

This is a VSIX package project that helps us to customize Help\Aboutbox section. One can provide description, copyright

information of the product here.

Basically modify “About” section as per your need and desire.

ShellExtensionsVSIX Project

This is a small simple project containing a single file named “source.extension.vsixmanifest”. This file holds reference of

various components and modules that are to be used in Isolated shell application. So whatever visual studio extensions

or vsix projects are added in isolated shell application, their reference is added in the shellextensionvsix project and

specified in Assets section of the file like Aboutbox package is specified in following image.
