Code generator as a VS.NET Add-In

Hello there,

I have written a code generator for our internal use. Right now it is
implemented as an independent application. The generated code (which is
really a block of code containing 4-5 procedures enclosed in #Region/#End
Region tags) sits in a .txt file and we manually copy and paste/replace the
code in our application project files. We would prefer to totally automate
the insertion/replacement process. For this to happen, it seems that I will
need to tap into extensibility object model that VS.NET environment provides
and package the code generator as an Add-In. Unfortunately, I so far have
failed to find a complete example of how to develop such a component. VS's
help information is too brief to find it useful.

Thanks for any suggestions anyone may have,

I can suggest two books that have been useful to me as I
have been figuring out Add-ins: "Inside Visual
Studio .NET 2003", published by MS Press, and "Mastering
Visual Studio .NET", published by O'Reilly.

There is also a Yahoo! group dedicated to extending
Visual Studio .NET:

In the "Other projects" category in VS, there's an add-in project type that
will get you started.
