ShapeAppAdvancedCSharp sample Add-in Debug

I tried the ShapeAppAdvancedCSharp sample with its add-in IDE debug experience, the default add-in macro project, which is loaded by the coding in the Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Samples.ShapeApp.AIMExtension.ShowIde() method, can bebugged in the same host application, which is the expected behaviour.

However, when I created a new add-in project or open an existing one using the IDE menu and debugged it, a new instance of the host application is launched. So how can I debug the new project or the opened project without starting a new instance of the ShapeAppAdvancedCSharp host? Any sample code around regarding this topic?

My feeling is that it needs to, somehow, hook some events like ProjectOpened/ProjectCreated and apply the same operation as that have done with the default project to the new/opened project.

H Roger,

I have confirmed this and will ask the VSTA team to improve this sample for the next version of the VSTA SDK.

Your intuition is also correct. In the meantime, I will provide you a sample that implements addin project seamless debugging along with the macro project seamless debugging.

Thanks Gary. A sample on this topic would help us a lot.  :)
