An isolated shell lets you determine which Visual Studio functionality you need to interact with your domain-specific language and how that solution should appear. For more information about the Visual Studio isolated shell, see Customizing the Isolated Shell.

To set a Visual Studio Shell as the deployment target:

  1. In the DslPackage project, open source.extension.tt.

  2. Under <SupportedProducts> insert:

    <IsolatedShell Version="1.0">MyIsolatedShell</IsolatedShell>

    Replace MyIsolatedShell with the name of your isolated shell package.
