• Visual Studio Team System Implementing ExecuteDefaultAction

  I have inferred from the VSIP SDK documentation that if I wish to link work items to entities in my own application and have my own application be the "viewer" for these entities, my application needs to implement ExecuteDefaultAction. I am assuming that I would have to make Team Explorer "aware" of my implementation of ExecuteDefaultAction, in order that when a user clicks on the link in the work item, my application can be invoked. Unfortunately, I can find no clue in the documentation (or even in the API) about how to do that. Help is very much appreciated. Regards, Daniel ...Show All

• Visual Studio vsip projects and splash screen bitmaps

  I've got a C++ package created with the VSIP for 2003. I want to add my package bitmap to the splash screen. Similar posts say I should implement the IVsInstalledProduct and the VSIP samples do this using a class called CVxModule.
