- VSIP
The
Visual Studio Industry Partner (VSIP) Program (formerly Visual Studio Integration Program) allows third-party developers and software vendors to develop tools, components and languages for use in the MicrosoftVisual Studio .NET IDE. The program offers partnership benefits including co-marketing opportunities, andVisual Studio licensing options as well as extended access to Microsoft technical and premier support.The VSIP SDK (
software development kit ) facilitates development of integrated tools and includes development software and documentation that can be used directly within theVisual Studio .NET IDE directly. Extensions to the IDE, also known as "Add-ins", can be as simple as adding a custom server control to thetoolbox , or as complex as adding support for a new CLR-compliant language.External links
