ErrorListProvider in VS2010 throws InvalidOperationException about IVsTaskList
- by Ben Hall
I'm trying to hook into the ErrorListProvider in VS2010 to provide some more feedback from my VS2010 extension addin.
The code is as follows:
try
{
ErrorListProvider errorProvider = new ErrorListProvider(ServiceProvider);
ErrorTask error = new ErrorTask();
error.Category = TaskCategory.BuildCompile;
error.Text = "ERROR!";
errorProvider.Tasks.Add(error);
}
catch (InvalidOperationException)
{ }
However the following exception is thrown:
System.InvalidOperationException was caught
Message=The service 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IVsTaskList' must be installed for this feature to work. Ensure that this service is available.
Source=Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.10.0
StackTrace:
at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.TaskProvider.get_VsTaskList()
at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.TaskProvider.Refresh()
at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.TaskProvider.TaskCollection.Add(Task task)
Does anyone have any ideas why?
