The VSIP SDK for Visual Studio 2005 Beta 1 provides the necessary interfaces and samples to add rich new features into the Visual Studio 2005 IDE. This is the first version of the VSIP SDK to fully incorporate support for development of extensions using managed code languages.

New Features
Framework for building managed packages. A new set of managed objects is provided for easily creating and registering packages, tool windows, project systems and more. The package wizard and managed samples have been updated to use the new framework.
MS Build support. The project object in the managed package framework includes support for the new MSBuild feature.
Project aggregation. Packages can now extend existing project systems by adding new behaviors, but maintaining the existing language functionality. For example, you can add a special deployment behavior to a Visual Basic windows application project.
Source code control. The common Source Control Interfaces in Visual Studio have been updated and additional interfaces have been added to allow for deeper integration into VS.
Additional new features. There are many new extensibility points in Visual Studio 2005 including support for import/export user settings, new debugging functionality, enhanced support for language services and much more.
