OpenAll: VisualStudio add-in application
In the first release of project Allure, a sample add-in application named ‘OpenAll’ is included.
That add-in does a simple thing. When executed, it automatically parse the current solution and list all file items in that solution.
Then, user can type some partial words and filtered list of files that contains those words is shown in the list view.
By double-clicking a file or selecting with arrow-keys, that selected file is just opened by VisualStudio.
For more convenience, you can assign a keyboard shortcut for this add-in.

Hello Daniel,
your ‘Allure’ framework looks interesting, but I’m not sure if I really want to do a complete installation (a risky thing) just to play around with it a little… Could you please publish some more details about what exactly its strengths are? Why should one prefer it over the automation & extensibility API of VisualStudio? May be some code snippets?

Hi Alexander.
Thanks for your interest.
Its goal is to provide simplified and intuitive programming environments to programmers who want to have their own VS add-ins. Actually, I’m still working on Allure project and adding more features from raw VS APIs.
Regarding some code snippet, you can download source codes from codeplex hosting (http://allure.codeplex.com).
It would be very nice if you join us and improve our project.
