I would like to run a script after files with certain extensions are saved in visual studio. I am wondering where the event handler for saving a file is located in the Visual Studio SDK API.
Can anyone point me in the right direction in terms of API documentation for visual studio extensions. I have found the Visual Studio SDK Reference but some direction or sample examples would be helpful.
I want to create partial designer files that are usually generated when the project is built (Mono for Android Project), my files will have temporary values, but are only intended to enable intellisense without building the entire project. I can run the process manually right now, but I would like to trigger the script when .xml or .axml files are saved.
It think I need to work with IVsRunningDocTableEvents.OnAfterSave method, but I'm not sure about how I get the handle on the running doc table, or how I filter the files I want to run the event for. This is my first attempt at using the Visual Studio SDK.
The event handler for saving files is:
Dte.Events.DocumentEvents.DocumentSaved
Note you need to keep a reference to Events and DocumentEvents in order for it to actually work. Here is some information on that: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/br/vsx/thread/0857a868-e650-42ed-b9cc-2975dc46e994
Here is a link to 30 sample projects that illustrate all kinds of functionality for Visual Studio Add-Ins:
