Tool Files (.tool) in VS .NET 2005 (Whidbey)

[AntonS]

Hi,

I have found that VC++ has new great feature in VS .NET 2005. I mean
customization of build process by adding new tools. It is really working for
tools which are similar to compiler, but I didn't found how I can add new
linker tool for example. Is it possible?

Regards,
Anton.

I don't think so.

You might want to ask in microsoft.private.whidbey.cplusplus.ide (see the
Visual Studio 2005 Beta developer center on MSDN for information on posting
to the private newsgroups). You may also want to post a feature request on
the MSDN Product Feedback Center (again, see the VS 2005 Beta developer
center).
