Easily Install your Components into Visual Studio

VSGlue is a set of tools that helps you integrate your components with Microsoft's Visual Studio. Currently, its primary focus is to help with the process of installing assemblies into the Add Reference dialog box. When you use the VSGlue assembly installer to register an assembly in a customer's Add References dialog box, you get the following advantages:

  • You can install dependency assemblies: each assembly installed with VSGlue only appears once in the Add References dialog box
  • Full designer support: Drag the assembly installer onto any custom install action design surface
  • Compiler maintenance and enforcement of your reference: Select a type once, using our active search, and the component model ensures your references stay fresh ever after

In addition to the assembly installer, it also comes with a rich implementation of UITypeEditor that makes editing Type properties simple and intuitive. With the type-finding editor you get a smooth, intuitive mechanism for finding types in the development environment and assigning them to properties of components.
