Visual Studio 2019 support

Open NightOwl888 opened this issue 5 years ago • 5 comments

Same as #19, but for VS 2019.

Unfortunately, the workaround there of downloading and running the install manually doesn't work for VS2019, so we won't have a way to install it until the package is updated.

Visual Studio 2019 already has support for YAML. Is it worth it to update this package ?

Depends on what you mean by "support".

Yes, I can edit YAML files. But copying and pasting, hitting the enter key, etc. puts a lot of annoying tabs and spaces into the project that create invalid YAML, so must be vigilant about taking them out.

What is most annoying to me is that there is no support for bulk comment/uncomment of lines.

That is, unless I have missed a configuration option in VS2019. I am just using the default config options.

Then I must be confusing with VSCode. I'll try to update the extension next week.

I would be glad to help get this tool updated to work with Visual Studio 2019. I just need some pointers to get started.

The project will not build with Visual Stuido 16.8.x.

I was assuming I'd do the following:

  1. Update projects to the new .NET Core format
  2. Update NuGet references

I would probably do the work in my own GitHub account, not my UPMC account.

Any progress on getting the extension to work with VS2019? I tried forking the code and was able to get it to build, after upgrading it a bit, but I'm afraid this is a bit above my head.
