Hi,
Long time VS developer, first time VS extender. Problem: my company uses a horrible old text editor to create and maintain these equally horrible Ruby scripts. The old text editor uses a proprietary "project file" used to track what Ruby file belong to which project. The format of this project file is quite simple. I'd like to be able to have VS load up this old "project file" (which has a distinct file extension), convert it to the VS project file format, and associate the Ruby scripts to the-now-Visual-Studio-based project. To summarize, I'd like to see the old text editor get killed off by Visual Studio
I've looked through all the documentation and videos I could get my hands on. Seems like crating a custom project would be the way to go (I think). However, all of the examples I have seen though generally deal with creating a static set of files within a project, then exporting those files. I have yet to see a way to check and process file a file as it gets loaded into VS (provided if this is even possible).
Let me know if there are any examples I should be looking at, or if I'm completely off track on how to accomplish this.
TIA
