Making IDE with Visual Studio .net

Hi!
I would like to make my own ide with Visual Studio.
Are there any libraries that can help me out on the way? Something similar
to Eclipse framework, that can speed this up? In Eclipse there are predefined
editor classes, plugins for interaction with source code control systems
etc...

Instead of writing something from scratch, have you considered extending the
Visual Studio IDE with the features you are missing?
VS can be customized in an unbelivable number of ways, using macros and
plug-ins you can create completely new things.
In many ways Visual Studio is the framework you are looking for, why do you
want to create a new one when you already have one?

Have a look at the book "Inside Microsoft Visual Studio .NET" by Brian
Johnson, Craig Skibo and Marc Young.

Hello Chris,

Basic problem with VS for the purpose I have in mind is that it should not
have any functionality for .net languages. I do not need any refernce to C#,
VB or anything similar.
Also, there is a licence problem, I would need to pay VS Studio licences for
any copy of my software that I would like to distribute...

Thanks,

Look at SharpDevelop. It is a complete IDE, and you can extend from there.
I do not know much about its licensing, though.
