Hello I have a managed package that provides the code for a custom C++ build toolchain. I have a custom platform Toolset.targets that loads some custom properties:
<ItemGroup><PropertyPageSchema Include="$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)projprops.xml" /></ItemGroup>
projprops.xml looks like the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Rule Name="MyGeneralProperties" Order="9" DisplayName="MyRule" Description="General" PageTemplate="generic" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/build/2009/properties"><Rule.Categories><Category Name="General" DisplayName="General" Description="General" /></Rule.Categories><Rule.DataSource><DataSource Persistence="UserFile"/></Rule.DataSource><DynamicEnumProperty Name="BuildMachine" DisplayName="Build Machine" Category="General" EnumProvider="BuildMachines" Visible="True" Description="The machine that building and debugging will take place on."/></Rule>I have my enum provider in the same DLL as the package and it looks like this:
An instance of
[Export(typeof(IDynamicEnumValuesProvider))] [DynamicEnumCategory("BuildMachines")] public class BuildMachineEnumProvider : IDynamicEnumValuesProvider { // the implementation }
BuildMachineEnumProvider is
never created by the runtime however the property shows up in the VC project properties right where it's supposed to. The package loads as it should when a solution is loaded via [ProvideAutoLoad(UIContextGuids80.SolutionExists)].
According to everything I've read MEF should recognize my enum provider class when the package is loaded and everything else should just work - except it doesn't.me vs Visual Studio .NET 2005 SDK - round 249873 - FIGHT!
