Well I'v been hard at work hacking 0's and 1's trying to get them to integrate and have 2 major problems.
1) Can't figure out what the XDK is specifically looking for when it scans your system.
2) I have uncovered that VS 03 and VS 05 have different names for a hand-full of their components. In other words the way that the xdk integrates into VS 03 won't work in VS 05. The objects and reg entries don't exist or don't match. Some are simple like changing the memory type from int to floating point, but some are complex strings that make no sense at all. Just a few though.
So the only ways that I can think of is to either wait for a new version of the XDK form M$, which looks grim. Maybe there was a private update or patch that didn't go public, proly not. Or continue hacking away at the XDK. If I could find out how the xdk calls for data from VS 03 I could find similar areas on VS 05 and just infer the difference between those specific values.
So has anyone else tried this yet. I'm not that good of a programmer so I might be on the wrong track.
