      Can you guys be more specific on how to use this? Following the instructions on Make your plugin in less 10 minutes didn’t do me any good.

      • I’ve downloaded plugintemplate-3.zip into Downloads folder on Windows 8.1 64-bit. Then unzipped it there.
      • Found the file named NppPluginTemplate.vcxproj in the folder vs.proj and opened it (double-click or Open with -> Visual Studio) with Visual Studio Community 2017. Now all I see it just an XML file opened in the VS.

      I don’t see Solution Explorer or Properties window. Am I supposed to do the mentioned changes inside the VS?

      • If so, I don’t see the mentioned files listed in the VS window. How do I do it?
      • If not, let’s say I’ve done the changes using a text editor. How do I compile it? I need to compile, right?

      Someone, please, enlighten me. And prefably, do it step by step.

        I’ve also downloaded NppPlugin.NET.v0.5.zip and put it at
        C:\Users\%username%\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#, but it didn’t work. Is it not compatible with VS Community?

          See https://github.com/npp-plugins/plugintemplate/releases, latest template is 3.1. You have to load the vcxproj file as VS C++ project. In this case a VS project should show up and not just the underlying xml of the vcxproj file.

          For a plugin in C# see https://github.com/kbilsted/NotepadPlusPlusPluginPack.Net.

            Oh, I feel silly now. I did not have C++ installed, only C#. Gonna install C++ and try it again.

            I have also visited the C# Plugin page you linked and downloaded the latest release (NppPlugin0.94.00.zip) and again put it in the Templates folder. I don’t see the Notepad++ Plugin listed in the Templates when creating a new project. Either the plugin isn’t compatible with the latest VSC or my OS/VS installation is faulty.

            So, can someone with the (latest) version of VS Community 2017 (15.2, 26430.15) verify that the C# plugin works with this version?

              This is weird (or not). I’ve just installed C++ and now the C# Plugin showed up in the New Project window.
