Not compatible with VS 2022

As the title says, it's not compatible with VS 2022 even though it states it is.

Please see the following link for help on porting the extension.

How to configure naming convention

I use a naming pattern where Windows have a "Windows" suffix, and the view-model has a "VM" suffix, for example "MainWindow", and "MainWindowVM". I'm unable to figure out how to configure this pattern in your tool.

When I am in the view-model, trying to navigate to the view opens a dialog making me choose from "MainWindow.xmal", or "MainWindow.xaml.cs" (shouldn't navigating to the view only show xaml files?).

When I am in the view, trying to switch to the view-model just gives the error "Couldn't find any matching views or view models".

Is it possible for me to make my pattern work with your extension?

Add Support for Subfolders?

Hello. Thanks for making this extension!

I have my project organized such that my viewmodels and views are organized by "screen". Example:

projectroot/Views/ScreenA/[many views]
projectroot/ViewModels/ScreenA/[many viewmodels]
projectroot/Views/ScreenB/[many views]
projectroot/ViewModels/ScreenB/[many viewmodels]

Doing it this way, I can't seem to get the extension to find the corresponding View or ViewModel. Is there any way to get this to work with this folder structure?

For what it's worth, I use Stylet as my MVVM framework and that package looks for the corresponding View/ViewModel by taking the current path of the V/VM and replacing the word "View" with "ViewModel" (and vise versa) and looking in that directory. That method seems to work well.

Can't get it to work

If I have file open with a View or ViewModel ending (i.e. FooView.xaml, FooViewModel.cs, etc) I get the following error:

The type initializer for 'MvvmTools.Utilities.SettingsUtilities' threw an exception.

When I tried "Tools->Options->MVVM Tools" I get:

An error occurred loading this property page

If I open a file that doesn't have View or ViewModel in the name I get the expected error dialog that says:

Couldn't find any matching view or view model classes

I would love to use this extention. It would be very usefull, If I can get it to work. I'm using Visual Studio 2013 With Caliburn.Micro.

Not working in VS 2015 update 3

It is working fine in VS 2017, but not in VS 2015 Update 3.

Package did not load correctly

I'm getting this error while switch between View and ViewModel. I tried uninstall and reinstall the VSIX again. Still facing same issue. I'm using VS 2017. ActivityLog file attached. ActivityLog.zip

"Please load a solution" Error while in a solution

Using latest version of VS2019 Enterprise, I get this when I go to the "Solutions and Projects" options page for the extension MVVM Tools:

Even though I have a solution open. Tried with a few different solutions and same result each time. Any ideas?

And the functionality does not work, Ctrl E,V is indeed assigned to MVVM Tools shortcut but does nothing, presumably because of the aforementioned.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Great idea, but possible expansion to non xaml/wpf?

Navigating around MVVM like this is an excellent idea, but at the moment the configuration (seems) needlessly constrained to only C# / xaml projects.

I was looking for something like this, but for Kendo/Javascript MVVM projects.

I suspect a little flexibility with the configuration would enable this to work on more projects.
