Maybe it is just a dummy of the month post but…
I’ve installed the RC of Visual studio 2010 because in 2 weeks I am one of the speakers at a Developers conference and I have to speak of the new features of Visual Studio 2010 and C#.
When I develop things, even though they are just Demo projects I need to be comfortable with my environment, so I tried to understand how to be able to have my DxCore plugins also on the new Visual Studio.
I was using version 3.0.5 (if it works why do I have to upgrade?) but for Visual Studio 2010 I had to install the new Beta of version 10.0.0…
When I finished the installation I opened the Program Files folder and searched for the familiar Bin\Plugins folder, but it wasn’t there so I made it and copied the plugins into it but of course they are not working.
After a few minutes of disheartenment. I started searching around, and finally I found the community site for plugins here: http://code.google.com/p/dxcorecommunityplugins/ and after some more searching around I found out that:
Since version 9.1.1 the plugin folder is: C:\Program Files\DevExpress 2009.1\IDETools\Community\Plugins\ that means: Installfolder\IDETools\Community\Plugins\.
Since version 9.1.3 the plugin folder is: My docs\DevExpress\IDE Tools\Community\PlugIns that means:
Current User Documents\DevExpress\IDE Tools\Community\PlugIns
To avoid my fellows developers to loose two hours just to install a plugin I decided to post it here, in the hope of a better search engine indexing.
