The Instant Feature Builder is a personal project I built to see if I could make a drag/drop experience for Visual Studio that built simple (non-modeling/non-menu-exposing) Feature Extensions that would run on VS Pro (and above) and target VS Pro (and above).

If you've ever wanted to package a project/solution/item template with documentation and links to related websites, you've found the right tool: The Instant Feature Builder

Add document files, text files containing URLs, project/item templates and build... out the other end comes a VSIX that delivers your templates and documents within Visual Studio.

What do you want to see on endpoint.tv? ]]> http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Endpoint/endpointtv-Making-of-The-Lab-Intro-To-WF4 The new Hands On Lab Intro to WF4 is quickly becoming a hit. As I mentioned in the getting started video, this lab is a prototype designed to test the idea of producing a lab experience directly inside of Visual Studio. Since I released this, a number of people both inside and outside of Microsoft have asked me how I created it. In this episode, I'm going to show you the IntroToWF4 Feature Builder project, how it is implemented, and some hard lessons I learned along the way.Intro To WF4 Hands On Lab (Visual Studio Gallery)Intro To WF4 Hands On Lab (MSDN Code Gallery)Ron Jacobsblog        http://blogs.msdn.com/rjacobstwitter    @ronljacobsWhat do you want to see on endpoint.tv? 1718 http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Endpoint/endpointtv-Making-of-The-Lab-Intro-To-WF4 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 13:13:00 GMT http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Endpoint/endpointtv-Making-of-The-Lab-Intro-To-WF4 Ron Jacobs Ron Jacobs 1 http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Endpoint/endpointtv-Making-of-The-Lab-Intro-To-WF4/RSS FeatureBuilder WF4 Feature Builder 101 - Creating the "Map" In part 3 of the “Using Feature Builder” screencast series, Michael Lehman provides a step-by-step walkthrough of how to get started with creating interactive guidance using the Feature Builder Power Tool for Visual Studio 2010.

 

The “Map” refers to the easy-to-author-and-deliver interactive process guidance features provided in the Feature Builder. 

 

With Feature Builder you can deliver much more than just a “ReadMe” with your code and tools.  Ranging anywhere from simply an “Overview” to step-by-step instructions with decisions and parallel tasks, you use the UML activity designer to create interactive guidance and related documentation or links to relevant websites… which is then delivered to your use when they expand your code all from within Visual Studio.  In addition, if you choose, you can include hyperlinks within the documentation files which invoke Visual Studio automation you supply in your Feature Extension (see Using Feature Builder – The “Tools”).

 

On-going hints-and-tips along with FAQs can be found on Michael Lehman’s MSDN blog: Adventures in SoftwareLand.

Welcome to the Feature Builder  Power Tool for Visual Studio 2010 - Release 1.0 for Visual Studio 2010 RTM.

 

Feature Builder is an official Power Tool from the Architecture Tools team within the Visual Studio Product Group enabling the rapid construction of Visual Studio Extensions (VSIXs) that combine VS Extensibility (menus, etc.) , Project/Item/T4 templates and step-by-step guidance/documentation.

 

The output VSIX, called a Feature Extension, delivers all these things, including the guidance, directly within Visual Studio.

 

This screencast provides both a short conceptual introduction to the Feature Builder and a short demo which starts at 5 minutes, 30 seconds in.
