What problem does it solve?

Protocol handlers enable deep linking into Visual Studio extensions from external sources. They let browsers or emails launch VS and pass context to the extension for processing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Register a URI scheme with Windows via a protocol manifest to enable one-click open actions in VS.
  • Use ProvideAppCommandLine to surface a command-line switch that loads your package when the protocol URL is invoked.
  • Route actions inside VS (e.g., open a file, jump to settings) based on the URI host/path and query parameters.

Quick Start

Install the VS extension or skill, register a protocol.json manifest, implement ProvideAppCommandLine, and test by navigating to a myext://open/resource URI.
