Since both VSIX and ReSharper extensions support dependencies, both extensions are easy to install as a dependency to either your VSIX extension or NuGet based ReSharper extension. Using either method, a ReSharper extension can request a MEF interface exposed by a VSIX extension, and use this to enable communication and integration between ReSharper and VSIX extensions. by tracking when the code completion intellisense window is visible, or by adding quick-fixes and context actions, or providing Live Templates or Structural Search and Replace patterns. So, a VSIX can integrate with ReSharper, e.g. This allows VSIX extensions to optionally support ReSharper, if it's installed, by bundling plugins, settings or external annotations. The second project, vsix2resharper is a lightweight Visual Studio extension which exposes a service that other VSIX extensions can use to easily load bundled ReSharper extensions. This is intended to enable ReSharper extensions to also extend Visual Studio in ways that ReSharper doesn't currently support, perhaps by including project or item templates, or different editor extensions (highlights, adornments, folding, etc). The first project, resharper-vsix is a ReSharper extension that will install any VSIX files bundled inside one of ReSharper 8's NuGet based extensions. This repo contains two projects that enable better integration between Visual Studio's VSIX extensions and ReSharper.
