I plan to migrate from VC6 to VC++2005 express in order to take part at the benefits of the vastly improved compiler.
Since Visual Assist has always been an indispensable tool, I am totally unhappy to read, that the express-edition of VC++2005 isn't supported. Why that? Is there any reason to keep people like me out in the future?
Thanks

Some add-ins work with Express Editions but not ones as extensive as VA X. MS doesn't provide the same level of extensibility in the Express Editions as it does with other editions.

The Microsoft hotline man told me, that add-ins work with express-editions. So visual assist should also work with them. But why does it not then?

this is a decision on Microsoft's part, presumably part of why VS2005 Express is so cheep, actually free if i remember correctly.
check out the line "Extensibility" on the following page:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/products/compare/default.aspx
basically this means there is no support for any addin's. all you can do is manually call an external tool on the current file via a menu item you yourself setup. in order to function VA requires the addin framework since it links into the IDE quite deeply. |
