I'm probably looking right past it, but is there a way to get the strataframe menu added to Visual Studio 2012 environment?

Technically you could, but if you run into issues we won't technically support it until we push out a build.  We will have a new build fairly soon that will support both.  As you noticed already, it is easy to make SF work with VS 2012 even without a build.  So there won't be a ton of changes that are required to move forward.

I tried your solution and I get Strataframe to show up on the VS12 menu and when I click on the Create Strataframe Toolbar Tab I get the following error?

ArgumentNullException
  Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: sp

Source     : Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell

Stack Trace:

   at MicroFour.StrataFrame.Extensibility.ExtensibilityBasics.get_CurrentVsServiceProvider()
   at MicroFour.StrataFrame.AddIns.MenuBasics.ᜀ(DTE2 A_0)


What did I do wrong? TIA

Honestly, I am not sure.  The stack trace doesn't show anything StrataFrame related.  Are you getting the error right when you click on StrataFrame or when you click on something once the StrataFrame menu opens?

I click the StrataFrame Menu and go down it and click on the Create Strataframe Toolbox Tab. Then instantly I get the error.

That is a change that we will have to make.  You can still use the BO Mapper, DDT, localization, etc.  But the toolbox items have to be created differently in VS2012.

OK. Thanks.

One other thought...you know that you can manually add them to a toolbox, right?  The menu item just makes it easier, but you can manually create a toolbox tab and then select the MicroFour StrataFrame UI.dll and the MicroFour StrataFrame UI Expanded.dll to bring in all of the SF controls to the toolbox.

Cool. That will get me thru using my laptop until the new Version 2 comes out and I can do it the correct way.

It worked. Thanks....
