Migrating DSL Tool from VS2010 to VS2012 RTM

Question

Is there a tool / tutorial / blog post / guide available to assist in the migration of a DSL Tool to VS 2012 RTM (it started out as a DSL tool under VS2008, then migrated to VS 2010) 

What are the known issues, bugs, new features, etc. as it relates to DSL Tools?

Answer 1

You'll find a dedicated tool DslProjectsMigrationTool.exe into %Program Files%\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VSSDK\VisualStudioIntegration\Tools\DSLTools\

You have to follow the same recipe as in the past, in waiting for an update of the documentation

How to: Migrate a Domain-Specific Language to a New Version

About new features, it seems that this version is focus on bug fix.

Answer 3

Hi,

I got the same problem. I used the migration guide at:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tfs/cc825931.aspx

But I stuck at point 5. The button "transform all templates" is not visible. Also the .DSL file won't open in the designer view.

Do you have any advice?

Thanks!

Answer 4

C'mon. No idea? :-)

Answer 5

"Transform All Templates" has moved to the "Build" menu. Have you tried to point the DevEnv to the Designer using "Open with" from the Contextmenu?

Hope this helps... ;-)
