Customising VS 2013 Start Page

Hi to all,

I have recently started to use Visual Studio 2013 Professional and I am in the process of upgrading the custom start page project from Visual Studio 2010 as per the instructions on the MSDN page http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj991932.aspx [How to: Upgrade a Visual Studio Custom Start Page].

I have a couple of problems to resolve so that I can compile the project.

1. I keep getting this error:

The name "VSCommands" does not exist in the namespace "clr-namespace:Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell;assembly=Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Immutable.12.0".

I followed the instructions pretty well to the ladder and have gone over it several times but at this stage I am unable to find the answer to this error.

2. I am also getting this error:

The type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.ServiceProvider' exists in both 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 SDK SP1\VisualStudioIntegration\Common\Assemblies\v4.0\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.10.0.dll' and 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VSSDK\VisualStudioIntegration\Common\Assemblies\v4.0\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.12.0.dll'

it would be appreciated if somebody could please point me in the right direction so that I may resolve these two issues.

All help is greatly appreciated
kind regards
Trevor
