Hi,
I am new to this area. Like to know what is the best practice to add a language service to the Visual studio.
I saw someone use Babel Framework, Iron Framework and now in 2015, there is the example to use MPF (managed package framework) to create the language service. So, if I like to create a new language service in Visual Studio, what is the best practice? which way is best from Microsoft development team. Don't tell me either one is good.
Second, is there a good example to show how to create a language service and integrate into Visual Studio? I followed the example showed in create a Language Service (MPF) https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb165744.aspx,
I expected my language should show up in the list of project type when I run as debug, but nothing show up, So i realize there must something else I haven't done yet. So is there any thing like VSpackage, I could create a langaunage service package and everything is connected, the only part left is lex, parser, and debug or some method I have to implemented. Just create the whole framework for me. Is this possible? or is there anywhere we could find a document or exmple could follow?
By the way, when I create a VSPackage, I didn't find anyplace I could enter the company name, Menu command, etc. So i believe i must did something wrong. I don't know what I did wrong? It stops me moving forward. I found a lot of this kind of problem in the document. I don't know what to say.
Someone could help me?
Thanks!
