i took the XmlClassGenerator sample of the visual studio 2010 sdk.
in the visual studio 2010 experimental instance it’s working and generating c# file from xml file.
but in the normal visual studio 2010 this cutom tool does not work.i get a warning “Cannot find custom tool ‘XmlClassGenerator’ on this system”.
why?
In the experimental instance, your Extension is automatically registered with Visual Studio. In order to use it in the standard installation, you have to register it yourself. See this topic on msdn for more info.
