Hi all,
I'm developing a fairly simple project system for VS using the https://github.com/Microsoft/VSProjectSystem and the next feature I'd like to develop is to have a custom UI for editing a particular file in the project. This file stores "manifest" information - i.e it's metadata for the project, similar to a "nuspec" file for nuget. The file in question will always end with ".dnn", and it's underlying format is XML. I'd like it so that double clicking on this file will open my custom UI for presenting (and modifying) the data in this file. (thinking windows form with some grids, buttons etc).
I am trying to find some information on what the most suitable extensibility point is. Custom editors seem to be for editing code (intellisense etc) and custom designers seem to be for design time editing of a class / type - neither of these seem to fit what I was after - I guess I am missing something. I have read this from: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb166329.aspx
Would appreciate a pointer in the right direction!
Cheers
