SharpDevelop Community

Hello,

    I am working on an open-source project that is a script engine for the .NET Framework 2.0.  I currently have it being hosted on Google Code.

http://code.google.com/p/windowsscripthostdotnet/

    This script engine supports C# and VB.NET plus a couple of others.  What I would like to do is to setup SharpDevelop as an IDE for the script engine.  I have the script engine associated with different file extensions (NCS for C# and NVB for VBNET) to avoid any conflict with regular coding files.  How can I add this association to SharpDevelop and have it treat the files as code?

 TIA...

Create an NScript.addin file as shown below and put it in SharpDevelop AddIns folder. 

 <AddIn name        = "NScript binding"
       author      = ""
       copyright   = ""
       url         = "http://icsharpcode.net"
       description = "Binding for the NScript.">
    
    <Manifest>
        <Identity name = "ICSharpCode.NScriptBinding"/>
        <Dependency addin = "ICSharpCode.CSharpBinding" requirePreload = "true"/>
    </Manifest>

    <Runtime>
        <Import assembly = "$ICSharpCode.CSharpBinding/CSharpBinding.dll"/>
        <Import assembly = "$ICSharpCode.VBNetBinding/VBNetBinding.dll"/>
        <Import assembly = ":ICSharpCode.TextEditor"/>
    </Runtime>

    <Path name = "/AddIns/DefaultTextEditor/CodeCompletion">
        <CodeCompletionBinding id = "NCSharp" extensions = ".ncs" class = "CSharpBinding.CSharpCompletionBinding"/>
    </Path>

    <Path name = "/AddIns/DefaultTextEditor/CodeCompletion">
        <CodeCompletionBinding id = "NVBNet" extensions = ".nvb" class = "VBNetBinding.VBNetCompletionBinding"/>
    </Path>

    <Path name = "/AddIns/DefaultTextEditor/Formatter/NC#">
        <Class id ="CSharpFormatter" class = "CSharpBinding.FormattingStrategy.CSharpFormattingStrategy"/>
    </Path>

    <Path name = "/AddIns/DefaultTextEditor/Formatter/NVBNET">
        <Class id ="VBNetFormatter" class = "VBNetBinding.FormattingStrategy.VBFormattingStrategy"/>
    </Path>

    <Path name = "/Workspace/Parser">
        <Parser id    = "NC#"
                supportedextensions  = ".ncs"
                projectfileextension = ".csproj"
                class = "CSharpBinding.Parser.TParser"/>
    </Path>

    <Path name = "/Workspace/Parser">
        <Parser id    = "NVBNet"
            supportedextensions  = ".nvb"
            projectfileextension = ".vbproj"
            class = "VBNetBinding.Parser.TParser"/>
    </Path>

    </Path>

    <Path name="/SharpDevelop/ViewContent/DefaultTextEditor/SyntaxModes">
        <SyntaxMode id="VBNet.SyntaxMode"
                    extensions=".nvb"
                    name="VBNET"
                    resource="ICSharpCode.TextEditor.Resources.VBNET-Mode.xshd"/>
    </Path>
</AddIn>

Thanks, dude!

Now, is there a way to set the File Mode for these file types (NCS → C#, NVB → VBNet)?

Before you answer RTFM could you point me to a tutorial site with the answer(s)?

TIA...
