Visual Studio Add-in Updates

The Visual Studio Add-in is included in the Ice installer for Windows, but incremental updates to the add-in may be published in between Ice releases.

Version 3.5.0.1 of the Visual Studio Add-in corrects the following issues:

  • When changing the output directory for Slice-generated files, the add-in removed the previous output directory if it did not contain any files. However, the add-in would also remove the previous output directory if it contained no files but did contain subdirectories, causing unintentional data loss. We still strongly recommend that you designate a project subdirectory as the output directory and do not use that directory for any other purpose.
  • If the output directory for Slice-generated files is not a project subdirectory, the generated files might not be added to the project until the next rebuild.
  • Fixed a bug where the tab focus would remain on the Errors list even after Slice errors have been fixed.

An installer is available on the download page.
