Visual Studio 2013 Wizzard and add-ins transit

Hello everyone,

  I'm trying to transit between visual studio 2013 add-ins and 2015 version. My add-ins work well in 2013 version, but in 2015 version, add-ins was deprecated. But before asking few question, I'm going to make you the difference between theold simple style and the newautomated complex style.

Old Simple Version of 2013

C++ DLL Project
    CoreXWizard.h
        ifndef CoreXWizard_H
            public ref class CoreXWizard : public IDTWizard
            //CPP FUNCTION...
        #endif
    FuncDec.h
        ifndef FuncDec_H
            public ref class FuncDec : public IDTExtensibility2 , public IDTCommandTarget
            //CPP FUNCTION...
        #endif
    MyForm.h
        ifndef MyForm_H
            public ref class MyForm : public Form
            //CPP FUNCTION...
        #endif
End DLL Project

    In this version, we can see that we have a class for each function in package. The wizard class derived from IDTWizard and the command class derived from IDTComandTarget. To install it you must copy .Addins files inside Addins Folder and the .vsz inside Wizard Folder. You must also RegAsm the DLL to make it work.

THE .VSZ FILES
    VSWizard 7.0
    Wizard=VSSuperPack.CoreXWizard
    Param=First Items
    Param=Second Items


THE .ADDINS FILES
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" standalone="no"?><Extensibility xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AutomationExtensibility"><HostApplication><Name>Microsoft Visual Studio</Name><Version>14.0</Version></HostApplication><Addin><FriendlyName>Function Description</FriendlyName><Description>Auto comment function</Description><Assembly>VSSuperPack.dll</Assembly><FullClassName>VSSuperPack.FuncDescript</FullClassName><LoadBehavior>0</LoadBehavior><CommandPreload>1</CommandPreload><CommandLineSafe>0</CommandLineSafe></Addin></Extensibility>

   If you remark the add-ins and the wizard point to namespace.class. For IDTWizard class everything pass by Execute. For the Command class two function was important, the OnConnection and Exec. It's by the OnConnection function that you add your entry menu inside visual studio interface.

Verdict:

Wizard working in Visual Studio 2013 and 2105.

Command working only in 2013, no menu entry for 2105

    You can find the example on my git hub

Complex version of VSIX

C++ DLL Project
    CPP, DEF IDL pkgdef and automated GUID
End DLL Project
C++ DLL Project
    VSCT Files and Menu Entry for UI
End DLL Project
VSIX Project
    Reference of both preview dll
End VSIX Project

    On this form, we have a dll for the code and a dll for the menu enty. The vsix project was the auto-deploy result. Ok, for this moment, it's was simple. The problem is that a lot of element was linked to GUID number generated by the c# way. But I'm on c++ way and we can't add command menu or tool menu component. For the VSIX part, it's was great, because we don't need to create deploy solution.

Question:   GIT EXAMPLE

1. Wizard is not support in new extensibility c++ project. Does it's possible to modify VSIX manifest to deploy wizard?
2. Does it's possible to flush vsct to pass by OnConnection mode and add entry with c++ function or modify the vsct to connect on a namespace.class like old style?
3. If I want make a custom property for my wizard how I must process?

Thanks!
