Build View – Visual Studio 2008 addin for Windows 7

Build View is a Visual Studio 2008 Add In which will show the progress of the build using the new Windows 7 progressbar.

Build View

Unfortunately Visual Studio does not have an option to retrieve the progress of the build. Build View chooses the most approximate build time based on previous builds of the project and then shows the progressbar. Which means after 2/3 builds, progress bar will start displaying the animation effectively.

Download the installer and sourcode here.

    Is this only for Windows 7? I tried it on Vista with VS2008Pro, but i’m getting an exception caught message window.

    Yes it works only for Windows 7 as only Win 7 has the new progressbar.
