Re: Execute macro only for one solution

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

It turns out that VS 2005 supports "Solution Add-Ins", which are add-ins that
are only loaded for a specific solution. By creating such an add-in, I can
extend the IDE to implement my custom version policy only for solutions that
reference the add-in.

The MSDN help topic is at this URL:

ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.VisualStudio.v80.en/dv_extcore/html/46c7aa5d-6cec-4723-bca2-4b20699cfc55.htm

Just one little itsy bitsy minor problem... Like almost all of the online
documentation covering IDE extensibility, the help topic referenced above is
misleading, incomplete, and just plain wrong.

FYI, I burned an MSDN tech support issue and started a support case. After a
few minutes of looking at the documentation and looking at the code produced by
the Add-in wizard, the support engineer came to the conclusion that the
documentation makes absolutely no sense at all. He's off trying to find out if
the IDE actually supports the concept of a "solution" add-in.
