What problem does it solve?
This guidance helps extension authors share and consume Visual Studio IDE services across components, enabling decoupled, testable extensions and smoother integration with VS built-in services.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Centralized service provisioning and consumption across commands, tool windows, and editors.
- Access to built-in VS services (e.g., SVsSolution, SVsShell) from multiple extension parts.
- Cross-model compatibility with VisualStudio.Extensibility, VSIX Community Toolkit, and VSSDK patterns.
Quick Start
Define your service, register it in InitializeServices, and inject it into extension components to enable sharing and consumption of Visual Studio services.
