Create a project for an add-in in Visual Studio 2019
Answered
I read in the documentation:
"Step 3: Create a New Project
- In Visual Studio, click File > New Project..., then go to Other Project Types/Extensibility/Shared Add-in"
https://www.mindmanager.com/en/pages/developers/api/20/#Step3CreateNewProject.html
Questions.
1. Where is the "Project Types/Extensibility/Shared Add-in" in Visual Studio 2019?
2. What are the alternative ways to create an add-in DLL project?
I use
- MM 20;
- VS 2019;
- Win 7x64;
Hello Ivan
The online documentation still refers to old versions of Visual Studio. It was possible to hijack the project wizard to create an add-in project for Microsoft Office, then replace Office application references with MindManager references. As far as I know, this Wizard is no longer supported in Visual Studio 2019.
Until there is a template Add-in project that can be installed in VS2019, you can create and configure a new Add-in project by hand. I have written up the steps in this map. It looks worse than it actually is.

I would welcome feedback and corrections.
