Hello,
please improve support for Platform Builder 6.0 R3 (based on VS2005 SP1). While coding-level aids work well, Open File in Solution shows SDK headers only (well almost).
Suggestion is to process all source files in the workspace. Also there should be an option to limit processing to the "Favorites" projects (the ones that the developer is presumably currently working on) for better performance. |

We don't officially support Platform Builder, and Personally I don't know anything about it. However, I am happy to help you to get the maximum out of Visual Assist.
In Visual Studio, Visual Assist parses all files in your solution. I guest solution is the VS equivalent of Workspaces.
Also, you can try turning on "VA Options -> File handling -> if Solution is empty" so when you open a file, VA will parse all the other files in the same directory as the file. This way, the files will appear in the dialog you had mentioned. |

Hello accord,
thank you for your help.
With the PB (which is basically a VS addon) there is a .sln which typically contains a single .pbxml file. The set of the relevant sources is based on directory structure and "whitelist" files named "dirs" and "sources" spread across the directories. The (deep) tree is shown in the normal Solution Explorer by some addon's own means. This is what I refered to as Workspace.
Your hint helped somewhat (what you had in mind is the "if Solution is not empty" option I suppose), still I suggest that VAX should define a (limited) set of features that are supported in PB environments. I am not sure how many APIs PB exposes though, so the set might be no larger than it is now. |

Yes I had :)
We have quite enough on our plate supporting current Visual Studios, and we have no current plans to support platform builder. We have a feature request regarding this:
case=1077
but don't hold your breadth. I understand that it is "only" an addon, but it modifies solution handling so it is not a "simple" compatibility problem. |

Hi guys, I'm working with Platform Builder 7.0 (Windows Embedded Compact 7), which is a plugin to VS2008.
I found that simply adding a plain "empty" project, and then dragging WINCE700 folders of interest to it (typically my BSP folder and platform/common) from Explorer made VAssist go scan the source code, Yey! Good times!

Thank you for the update, it is good to know this is working  Just to check, you are now using a normal VS2008 project, along side Platform Builder 7? It sounds like it, I just wanted to make sure I understand clearly, in case anyone else asks about this. |
