Quantcast SQL Azure Explorer Addin for VS2010 Beta 1

SQL Azure Explorer Addin for VS2010 Beta 1

by Neon Quach 1. October 2009 03:02

Johan Danforth and Dag König just released the alpha version of a (so far) small Codeplex project we’ve been working on for the last week or so – an SQL Azure Explorer Addin for Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1.

The reasons for this project are several, but mostly to learn more about VS2010, how to create addins for it, dig into SQL Azure and at the same time learn some WPF and XAML.

The addin is a VSIX package and easily installed in VS2010 by just downloading and double clicking it.

Here’s a sample screenshot of the explorer and the integrated SQL Editor:



If you got VS2010 Beta 1 and some SQL Azure databases you work with, please download and feedback. I’m sure Microsoft will eventually support SQL Azure in the built-in server explorer, but as I said, this is for fun (it’s great fun to code addins) and the code might be useful for other future projects :)
