Why the application styling doesn't show up in vs2008
posted

I have installed the version 8.2, I can see the application styling show up in the vs2005 but I didn't see it in the vs2008. Any idea?

    Hey guys,

    Addin's in visual studio can be kind of finicky, usually if it's not showing up in one version of VS it's because the non-functioning version isn't being targeted as the HostApplication. If you open up the addin file the top portion should looks something like this:

    <HostApplication>
    <Name>Microsoft Visual Studio</Name>
    <Version>9.0</Version>
    </HostApplication>
    <HostApplication>
    <Name>Microsoft Visual Studio</Name>
    <Version>8.0</Version>
    </HostApplication>


    If it's missing <Version>9.0</Version> that would be the problem. If that's there then I'm not sure what the problem is, but if you'd like to zip up your .addin file and dll from \Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Addins and post them I could take a look for you.
