I am trying to add color to the visual studio build output. So I am trying to get classifier of IClassifierProvider. But GetClassifier() is not getting called. What could be the problem? Source code sample is given below. When I am trying with VSColorOutput extension it getting initiated. Please tell me what i am missing?
[ContentType("output")]
[Export(typeof(IClassifierProvider))]
public class OutputClassifierProvider : IClassifierProvider
{
[Import]
internal IClassificationTypeRegistryService ClassificationRegistry;
[Import]
internal SVsServiceProvider ServiceProvider;
public static OutputClassifier OutputClassifier { get; private set; }
public IClassifier GetClassifier(ITextBuffer buffer)
{
MessageBox.Show("asd");
try
{
if (OutputClassifier == null)
{
OutputClassifier = new OutputClassifier();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw;
}
return OutputClassifier;
}
}
public class OutputClassifier: IClassifier
{
public event EventHandler<ClassificationChangedEventArgs> ClassificationChanged;
public IList<ClassificationSpan> GetClassificationSpans(SnapshotSpan span)
{
return new List<ClassificationSpan>();
}
}

Thanks Jason Malinowski I analyzed the manifest code and found MEF Content is missing there. After adding MEF to content tag, it is working now.
