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.
