Hello eveybody,

I'm currently implementing an add-in for VS.Net. I usually develop all
my software with unit tests. I already separated all the non-VS.Net
specific code and moved it into a separate DLL. Now I would like to
develop unit tests for the VS.Net specific code. The problem is that
this DLL is hosted by VS.Net and provides the EnvDTE object to the
add-in, the root object for the extensibility model.

Therefore I guess I will have to start an devenv process and somehow
get the EnvDTE object to create and run tests. Does anybody know how
to do that?

Thanks a lot,

I am not sure if this will help or not but this .vbs script file creates a
new instance of VS.NET and returns a DTE object. You can tweak it to meet
your needs:

Dim objDTE

' Create a reference to an instance of VS.NET
Set objDTE = CreateObject("VisualStudio.DTE")

' Show its version
MsgBox objDTE.Version

' Tell the IDE not to close when this reference is released, but when the
user closes it
objDTE.UserControl = True

' Make the IDE visible
objDTE.MainWindow.Visible = True
