Day 9 - Jedi Visual Studio IRC Add-in

Tonights application allows you to put IRC chat right into Visual Studio. The add-in behaves like any other dockable window. Personally I prefer it docked left and pinned open.

I had never written anything for IRC, nor had I ever written a Visual Studio plugin so it was another late night.

To "install", copy the contents of the ZIP file to your "My Documents/Visual Studio 2005/Addins" folder (create if it doesn't exist). After opening Visual Studio, you should have an options screen (Tools/Options/Jedi VS IRC), and a way to launch the IRC window under your Tools menu.

Download the app here

Private messages ARE supported!

Issues:
- Only one channel is allowed, and can be set under options
- Only "/msg" and "/nick" are supported
- Colors can't be sent or received. They are received as control characters in the chat. Rub3X should appreciate this.
