swerner Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Hi, is there a plastic beta version that supports Visual Studio 11 ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hi swerner, The VS 2011 is not tested yet, maybe you can give it a try with our latest 4.0 release and give us feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swerner Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 i tried to install the latest version, but the Plastic Add in does not show up as a source control option in VS 11. Do I have to activate it somehow? Thanks, Sebastian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Which option are you missing? The "Add to source control"? I'm afraid it could be an issue with VS 11, as I said is not supported yet. Can you try to Bind the project using the "File" menu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swerner Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 The project is actually already bound since i use Plastic In VS 2010. Since VS 11 doesn't know anything about Plastic, it asks me to open the project temporarily without Source control. Plastic does not show up under Tools->Source Control.

manu Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 In that case I guess that there is a bigger issue with VS 11, we will have to work on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 The issue here is that the Plastic installer does not register the visual studio package in VS11, as it's not tested yet. Swerner, could you please execute the following and try again? c:\<your_plastic_installation_folder>\client\tools\regpkg /root:Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0 /codebase "c:\<your_plastic_installation_folder>\client\plasticVSextensibility.dll" (I'm not sure whether the registry key for VS11 is Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11 or not, I just got the one for VS2008 and VS2010 and replaced :-)) C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 11\Common7\IDE\devenv" /setup (again, whatever the installation folder of Visual Studio 11 is). These steps are the ones the the installer executes for VS2005, VS2008 and VS2010, so this should work in VS11 to register the plugin.

swerner Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Hi Luis, the steps work perfectly. I have Plastic in VS 11 now. Thanks a lot for your help, Sebastian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swerner Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 so far everything looks and feels the same as in VS 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodingGorilla Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I tried to do this, and RegPkg crashes. I'm guessing swerner has vs2010 and vs11 installed side by side, so he still has vs2010 stuff available. I do not, I have vs11 installed on a virtual machine. RegPkg complains that Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell, Version=2.0.0.0 is missing. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Ummmm, yes it seems that library is not present in your installation or the RegPkr is referencing a wring library.

CodingGorilla Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I was able to find a copy of the Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.dll file and copy it into the ..\plasticscm4\client\tools along with the regpkg.exe and then follow your instructions. And now it's working. Only problem is you're going to have to get rid of all the color in tool windows to go along with the [horrible] grey theme in VS11.

CodingGorilla Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 http://screencast.com/t/uhacryRlS You can see, your blue locks in the SOLUTION EXPLORER are just adding way to much color, and let's not even talk about the Pending Changes window... (if you can't tell from my tone, I really really really dislike what they did to the UI in VS11) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 OMG!! Why is it like Windows 3.1????? It's horrible!! It's still a beta, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodingGorilla Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Yes. There's an issue at the VS user voice: http://visualstudio....-studio-11-beta It has like 4x the next closest amount of votes, and the funny part is the next closest suggestion is about how all the tool windows title ARE IN ALL CAPS. I suggest everyone go vote for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 hahahahhahahahaha the comments are hilarious: DaleW commented · Apr 04, 2012 · Flag as inappropriate The circle of life is now complete. I started 30+ years ago using monochrome CRT's that lead to eye-strain. After trying the new VS11, I get the same feeling. Sorry, but the all gray doesn't work.
