Hello, are you going to release Elements extension for Visual Studio 2026 ?
We’ll be looking into this, yes. As i understand , this wa sliterally just announced, and there was no prior beta/preview cycle (though its unclear from what i see whether the current “Insiders” release is to be considered beta or not…)
If interested all one needs to do is copy the extensions RemObjects folder from VS 2022 to the same place in VS 2026 install folder run devenv /setup and devenv /installvstemplates and then open a RemObjects project created by VS 2022.
Then the project templates should show up and work.
I saw an interview with someone who said the new 2026 vsix engine is smart enough to use older templates so I tried and it worked.
There is one issue and I don’t know of any others but Lines numbers won’t show up. Everything else seems ok.
Wow. I assumed the templates would work, but surely the IDE integration code will need to be compiled against the newer version of the VS libraries, to load in VS18 successfully?
That said, we are working on this, and have official (preview) support, very soon.
Yeah, I don’t know much of how such integration works, but it does pretty much work with what I have tried. Console program, WPF and Forms with the designer for Framework all working.
I integrated MonoGame with an Oxygene project so I could play around writing an XNA game in Oxygene. Debugger seems to work ok too.
Any more progress on the syntax highlighting in VS?
Not currently, no
Ok, is it still on the list to be looked at?
Yes, but to be perfectly honest, changhing the syntax highlighting for VS not a top priority, right now.
Ok, understandable.
On another note, I have been poking around with Oxygene for a while now getting the hang of some basics in Island and Island with RTL. I found, I think, a few code errors in Linked List implementations and one of the Convert.ToString methods. I was wondering what the best way to address these would be. If interested?
Cool. You can report/post them here, or if you want, submit a pull request on github!
Ok I’ll start a new topic under Oxygene and show what I found
