Enabling EPiServer CMS 6 VS Integration in Visual Studio 2010

In this blog entry Fredrik Tjärnberg described how to enable EPiServer CMS 5 R2 VS Integration in Visual Studio 2010.

I’m happy to report that this trick works just as well with EPiServer CMS 6 VS Integration. You just need to replace all references to 5.2.375.226 in the blog with 6.0.530.0 instead.

If by some chance you only have Visual Studio 2010 installed and not 2008 then of course CMS 6 VS Integration cannot be installed (as it only officially targets 2008). In this case you can download the components you need here. Copy the contents of the zip file to the %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ folder on the target computer.

Please note that this information and the accompanying zip file are provided ‘as is’ without warranty or guarantee. EPiServer CMS does not officially support VS Integration in Visual Studio 2010 or running EPiServer CMS applications in a  .NET 4 runtime environment.
