I've uploaded VSpluginD beta 1.0 on svn download area.

I don't know if it works on no VS SDK enviroments.
Please test and report, who can install plugin.
VSpluginD require Visual Studio Standard Edition, or above edition.
no support for Express Edition.

Current VSpluginD implement only basic features and have many incomplete features and bugs. I would appreciated, if reported bugs, and feature request.

Issue:
VSplugin assume compiler path at C:\dmd\ and phobos source at C:\dmd\src\phobos\.
If dmd installed another dir. load package failure occur when create project. It'll be fixed next release.

Debugger don't works as like VS2003. It isn't stop at break point, though Function Break works correctly. so there are ploblems at breakpoint to source file mapping.

Rebuild and Clean Operation is not implemented.

If successfully plugin installed.
There is item "DProject" at menu [File]-[New]-[Project].
Create new project, and then open "main.d", the text should be SyntaxColorized by LanguageService.

if you type Ctrl-Space or period anywhere, Intellisense AutoCompletion appear.
It's not complete, but it can handle scope, local/global member completion
and phobos imported symbol.

I found mistake in VSplugin installer.
It cause DProject package loading failed, in no VS SDK Environment.
I have updated installer.

If already installed VSpluginD. please uninstall it.
and if you see package load failure, and select OK to skip load package.
need to type "devenv /resetskippkgs" in VS command prompt.

Please tell me, if it can be installed successfuly or not.

Looks good so far. I really want the closing braces to automatically line up with the top braces. (I use BSD style) Also, intellisense and syntax highlighting should eventually work like C# right? Or are there obsticles to this?

Thanks for your reporting this plugin works.

"Smart Indent" problem, It'll be fixed next release.
and, I found another bug, when type ENTER after if() while() that have no {} block. is not indented.

Intellisense should works as like C++, C#.
now, I'm working on this. it will be available Intellisense basic functionality in future.
-"Member Completion"
-"ParameterInfo" display ToolTip the signature of a method when type '('
-"Goto Declaration"

I'd like to contribute when you release the source.

you mentioned you were going to clean up the code a bit and then put it on svn. I am reluctant to change anything until you do. I like to keep all my projects on an svn server just so I have a log of what's changed and I can roll back changes if necessary.
I did look at the code. Some of the solution files don't work properly because apparently you had the source under different paths (at least not in the structure that is in the source zip file) on your computer. I was able to resolve that fairly easily by editing them.

Also I think I need a little help setting this up so it is debuggable. I have never worked with a VS addin before so I don't know how it works. What do I need to do to test new code after the dll has been built?
