Host a DSL in a WinForms App - given VSShell and DSLTools are installed

Hi there,

i saw a third party host the WF Designer in a Winforms App.

Is this possible for all DSLs?

If so how is it possible?

Thank you so much

Tim,

I am not sure if this scenario is allowed by the license agreement and if it does, it is definitely an non-supported scenario and therefor probably takes some effort to impelement it yourself.

I think your best option for hosting the your DSL outside VS.NET is the totally new "Visual Studio 2008 Shell"

As Edward says, this isn't a supported scenario I'm afraid.

You can use the IMS (i.e. your underlying model data) from a custom app, but we don't support the scenario of using the design surface in an arbitrary application.

We will fully support hosting in the Visual Studio 2008 Shell.
