How to: Create a SharePoint Project Extension

  • Artikel

Create a project extension when you want to add functionality to any SharePoint project that is open in Visual Studio. For more information, see Extending the SharePoint Project System.

To create a project extension

  1. Create a class library project.

  2. Add references to the following assemblies:

    • Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint

    • System.ComponentModel.Composition

  3. Create a class that implements the ISharePointProjectExtension interface.

  4. Add the System.ComponentModel.Composition.ExportAttribute to the class. This attribute enables Visual Studio to discover and load your ISharePointProjectExtension implementation. Pass the ISharePointProjectExtension type to the attribute constructor.

  5. In your implementation of the Initialize method, use members of the projectService parameter to define the behavior of your extension. This parameter is an ISharePointProjectService object that provides access to the events defined in the ISharePointProjectEvents interface.

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to create a simple project extension that handles most of the SharePoint project events that are defined by the ISharePointProjectEvents interface. To test the code, create a SharePoint project in Visual Studio and then add more projects to the solution, change project property values, or delete or exclude a project. The extension notifies you of the events by writing messages to the Output window and Error List window.

This example uses the SharePoint project service to write the message to the Output window and Error List window. For more information, see Using the SharePoint Project Service.

For examples that demonstrate how to handle the ProjectMenuItemsRequested and ProjectPropertiesRequested events, see How to: Add a Shortcut Menu Item to SharePoint Projects and How to: Add a Property to SharePoint Projects.

Compiling the Code

This example requires references to the following assemblies:

  • Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint

  • System.ComponentModel.Composition

Deploying the Extension

To deploy the extension, create a Visual Studio extension (VSIX) package for the assembly and any other files that you want to distribute with the extension. For more information, see Deploying Extensions for the SharePoint Tools in Visual Studio.
