Package Wizard Editor Updated

acangialosi — Sat, 24 Jun 2006 02:18:00 GMT

Over the last two sprints we updated the package wizard output for editor scenarios. In the June CTP we updated the wizard for generating C++ code that matched the new Reference Editor sample. During the June CTP we also completed the wizard changes needed to generate C# code that matched the Reference sample shipped. We found during our testing of the C# changes that this exposed a bug in VS's running document table that sometimes caused deadlock on slower machines. We decided to only ship the changes for C++ and use the next sprint to work around the bug found in the RDT.

We have completed the workaround for C# scenarios and also created a new set of tests targeting the new features that are now available with the Wizard's editor output. The new functionality will be available in the upcoming July CTP.
