Clide is an intuitive API to automate and extend Visual Studio.

Installing

Clide is distributed as a [NuGet][1] package and can be installed from Visual Studio by searching for the "Clide" package or running the following command from the Package Manager Console:

install-package Clide

Next, to ensure Clide is installed when your extension is installed, edit your .vsixmanifest file, and add the following prerequisite:

	<Prerequisites>
		<Prerequisite Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Merq" Version="[15.0,)" DisplayName="Common Xamarin internal tools" />
	</Prerequisites>

You can then just import via MEF the main interfaces like IDevEnv and ISolutionExplorer.
