Developing add-ons/extensions for MS Project - add-in

I would like to write a quick UI addon for MS Project, but I don't know how to proceed. Ideally it should be fully integrated into Project. Just need to know how to get started. Thanks!

if using Visual Studio:
Check out Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO)!

Xamarin.Android SDK and Xamarin.iOS SDK missing during Xamarin Studio Installation - Windows 8

As well as Visual Studio 2013 extention Xamarin is missing.
Do need to track these down and install manually? I've been trying but I'm a bit lost!
Thanks.
UPDATE: I found Xamarin Studio in the Program Files. A search did not bring it up. It seems to be working fine.
I am glad you found it, also you may want to take a look at the Add/Remove Programs and there you will see both Xamarin.Android and Xamarin Studio. Xamarin.iOS can install but will not run without a Mac machine in the network it can connect to to build.
Good luck with Xamarin - it is the most exciting thing currently in cross platform mobile technology.

Cannot add System.Net.Http reference to Xamarin.iOS Library project

I am using Xamarin's Visual Studio pluggin. I have a Xamarin iOS Library project and it needs to use System.Net.Http in order to compile. However, I cannot seem to add it as a reference. I have updated my Xamarin Studio to the Alpha version, but still cannot see System.Net.Http in the Assemblies list when attempting to Add Reference.
Any help here would be GREATLY appreciated as I am inches away from getting this thing implemented, but am stuck on this one reference.
Is this available in Visual Studio (with Xamarin Pluggin installed), or is it only in Xamarin Studio?
Thanks in advance for your help !!
WOW !! What a work around.
Ok, here's the solution. Looks like the Visual Studio pluggin does NOT get updated when you update Xamarin Studio on your windows box. HOWEVER, when you go to your mac build server and update Xamarin to the Alpha version, then open a Xamarin Project in Visual Studio, it will prompt you that the build server and Pluggin are different versions and will allow you to upgrade. When you upgrade, after closing visual studio, then open visual studio again, VOILA!!! The System.Net.Http reference is now available under Assemblies when adding a reference.
So, the solution is to update your MAC Xamarin Studio to the Alpha version and then Visual Studio will prompt you for an update. Update it and you're golden !!
Seems like there should be an easier way, but this one worked.
i think you cant add The System.Net.Http reference.you should try this RestSharp
A simple REST client for consuming HTTP APIs..
RestSharp makes it easy to consume the wide array of services on the web over HTTP, like: Amazon, Facebook, or even Twitter...

how to set up windows phone develop environment and using F# to develop application?

I have already download the windows phone develop tools but I don't know how to using F# to developing the app, currently it's C#.
Installing a template for 'F# and Windows Phone' into Visual Studio makes life a little easier. If you open Visual Studio and go to Tools->Extension Manager it will open the Extension Manager dialog. From there, if you select the online gallery and type 'F# Windows Phone' into the search box you can find a couple of templates that should help you get started. Most of them were written by Daniel Mohl. His blog can be found here Daniel Mohl

TFS support (plugin, external tool, etc) from within MonoDevelop?

Is there an easy way to integrate TFS for version control into MonoDevelop? I have a new MacBook Pro and an trying to determine which things I can do with Mac native apps and which I will need to run using Parallels.
I downloaded the Microsoft Visual Studio Team Explorer Everywhere 2010 command-line client, and was able to create a workspace, map a working folder and get the latest code. However, it would be nice to perform a get latest from inside MonoDevelop. In the Options there are External Tools I can try and setup, but I thought someone might have already done this. Has anybody done this?
Also, I see the the opentf project lists an alpha-quality MonoDevelop addin in the Feb 4, 2008 Release Notes, but that is two years ago. Has anybody used this?
You can always use Svn Bridge. In order to use it you will need to install it on the TFS server itself. It will then allow your TFS server to communicate via SVN protocol.
I retry to post an answer (sorry for my english i'm french). I has the same problem than you, i make some software for WP7 from visual studio and i use TFS in my compagny and want to make iphone applications with monotouch.
I Try openTF but i need direct integration in monodevelop, i find nothing in the internet and i decide to make my addin.
I release a test version (free of course) than you can try, it's integrate directly in monodevelop with TFS, and work for me on my mac.
You can see my blog at teamaddins.com i think it's can help.

The least-bad solution I've come up with for Xamarin + TFS is to set up TFS through a Windows machine as normal, mount the TFS workspace as a SMB fileshare on the Mac, and manage checkouts manually in Visual Studio.
It's klugey, but there doesn't seem to be any reliable TFS tooling available for Mac.

Creating new ASP.Net MVC project - Unit Test Dialog does not show up

When I create a New Project of type ASP.Net MVC Web Application, I expect the dialog for unit test applications to show up, but it does not. I cannot find the Unit Test App among the product types I can create either. How do I set up my VS so that the dialog shows up?
I have installed Visual Studio 2008, .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 and ASP.Net MVC Framework (Beta).
As #MrJavaGuy says, you need to install at least the Professional, not Express, version of VS2008. Alternatively, you can install nUnit and/or TestDriven.Net and get unit testing capabilities. Info on nUnit can be found at http://www.nunit.org/ and TestDriven.Net at http://www.testdriven.net/. I recommend TestDriven.Net even if you have the testing capabilities of Visual Studio baked in.
Turns out one of the problems were that I hadn't installed Testing Capabilities with my VS installation - running the installer and adding the feature made everything roll smoothly =)
Had the same problem with Visual Web Developer Express, I found this blog.

I downloaded

and that worked for me.. Not sure if this will sort your issue though. Best of luck with it.
