Hi,

I have a project which builds a custom tool menu item in Visual Studio i.e an extension add-in project to visual Studio 2005.

Now I need to upgrade this project so that it should behave as plugin/extension for VS2017.

My first question is, Do we have possibility to upgrade this project type from Vs2005 to Vs2017 extension. I did little bit of google and I can see every blog saying to play with VSIX project type to build an extension. But in VS2005 days such extension project doesnt exist.(This is my guess)

2) I tried to upgrade the project some how and building installer. But after installation I cannot see any plugin visibility in tool bar to Vs2017 , which is expected.


Please give your inputs and it will be great if any solution do exist
