LightSwitch Extensibility Toolkit for Visual Studio 2012

Since LightSwitch has upgrated to 3.0 that included in VS update 2. This tookit doesn't work when I created new LightSwitch extension project in VS update 2.

Hi NiceWk,

You need to install the Visual Studio 2012 SDK before installing the LightSwitch Extensibility Toolkit. You can download it here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30668

Then to install the toolkit:
To install the LightSwitch Extensibility Toolkit:

1. Extract the download (click on the exe and extract to a known location)
2. Double click on Microsoft.LightSwitch.Toolkit.vsix 
3. Copy the Microsoft.LightSwitch.Toolkit.targets file into:
   - For 32-bit systems: %ProgramFiles%\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\LightSwitch\v2.0
   - For 64-bit systems: %ProgramFiles(x86)%\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\LightSwitch\v2.0

If you're having specific issues building an extension, please ask in the forum: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us/lsextensibility/threads

I cannot install this extension, I always get this error:

"
Install Error : Microsoft.VisualStudio.ExtensionManager.MissingReferencesException: This extension cannot be installed because the following references are missing:
- Microsoft Visual Studio SDK
"

I have vs2012 + update 1 + update 2 ctp2.

I forgot to mention that "vs2012 sdk" in installed too.

Me neither. I can't install it, i got an error "This extension is not installable on any currently installed products."
PD. I have VS2012 SDK installed.

It seem the SDK installer I used was corrupted (e.g. there was no projects template under visual C# => extensibility). I re-downloaded the sdk from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30668

then uninstall sdk. then install the new one, that worked for me.

Hi! I've trying to create a small project of the "Screen template extension" (as shown in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh304432 ) but obtained only warnings and errors when compiling.
Even if I try to compile "LightSwitch Screen Template Extension Sample for Visual Studio 2012" (from http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/LightSwitch-Screen-dcb81410 ), there are same errors.
(my errors: http://pastebin.com/frZDpaCP )
Please note: other samples for LightSwitch 2012 compiled without any problems(!!!).
I tried to reinstall VS11, vs11 SDK, LightSwitch 2012 Toolkit, but it does not help.
Am I alone with such problem?

sorry to bother, I've reposted my problem to http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/lsextensibility/thread/c273dd00-38c3-4dcf-b3ac-7497db27e324

Hi, I have VS2012 RC and the VS SDK installed - following the read me in the download my system doesn't know what to do with the VSIX file extension. Can ayone help Ta!

In view of the differences between VS2012 RC public and the version in the HTML Client VHD, can you give an indication of the scale of changes to the toolkit and the likely impact on custom extension providers. (eg. the VHD has no advanced business types such as Money, Percent, WebAddress...).

Are there any plans for new categories, even a Toolkit to produce a custom 'Client' or any specifically for the HTML Client?

Many thanks
Dave

Hi,

I posted on MSDN forums here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/lsextensibility/thread/f7cd9f70-012e-4df9-8f55-b3576075f3b8/#f7cd9f70-012e-4df9-8f55-b3576075f3b8
Please note last 'PS'-section of my post regarding the link I downloaded from and the link that was installed.

Any help would be appreciated.

You need to install VS11 beta and the VS11 SDK beta first. There is a very good overview of all the content on Beth Massi's blog so go and read it :)
