Check it out if you’re interested in distributing custom content (not necessarily code) as a Visual Studio extension.

    Hi Yury,This isn't a feature I'm very familiar with. Have you followed the steps in this doc topic exactly? It seems that this should still work in 2010:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zy61y8b8.aspxIf the steps there don't work, can you please file a bug report on Microsoft Connect so that this issue gets addressed in a hotfix or service pack? https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Thanks,Aaron
