Hello,
So I am building a WPF app and on one of the tabs would be an instance of the Integrated Shell. Basically it would be a stripped down version of Visual Studio, but fully functional (IDE, Debugger, IntelliSense, Source Control Management, etc) and support for languages like C#, IronPython, C/C++, assembly, and possibly others.
I haven't found any great documentation nor any really good tutorials on the subject of using Integrated Shells. If anybody knows of anything, please let me know!
To sum up....what I am asking is:
(1) is this even possible in the way I am describing?
(2) Is this something I can distribute as my own WPF application by including the necessary Visual Studio redistributables?
(3) Are there any licensing issues associated with this design?
The alternative to this I suppose, would be to attempt integration with SharpDevelop. However, I would rather use Microsoft's tools if I had the option.
Thanks!
Bill
