After you have created a plug-in based on the Microsoft Remote Tools Framework, and are ready to start debugging it, you can configure it to run in the Remote Tools Shell, and then start the shell from Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.

Configuring the Plug-in for the Remote Tools Shell

  1. After using Visual Studio 2005 to open a plug-in, in Solution Explorer, select Desktop-CSharp, and then, from the context menu, select Properties.

  2. In the Properties window, select the Debug tab.

  3. In the Configuration field, select All Configurations.

    This ensures that these configuration settings apply to both debug and release configurations.

  4. In the Start Action section, make sure that Start External Program is selected and that the full path to RemoteToolShell.exe is specified.

    In the Start Options section, make sure that the full path to your .cetool file is specified. Make sure that the .cetool file name is the same as the name that you entered in the Assembly Name field in the Remote Tools Framework Project Wizard.

  5. Save the changes that you have made.

  6. To run the plug-in in the Remote Tools Shell, in Visual Studio, from the Debug menu, select Start Debugging.
