Add a Right-Click Menu Item in Visual Studio using C#?

Question

How to write an add-in that allows me to right click on the files hierachy tree to do something that will display something?

This is exactly what I want (please see the 2nd part of the video):

Unfortunately, it is in VB; I need a C# version.

(the C# approach will be pretty much identical to the VB, once you have the VS SDK installed, no?) — Marc Gravell, Oct 23 '09 at 05:53
SDK installed already. But how is SDK useful? My VS already got the Extensibility section, and I don't need the extra stuff I think... — yeeen, Oct 23 '09 at 07:10

Writing VisualStudio plugins is a pretty terse task. What you are searching for has already been answered here.

You also might want to check out DXCore from Devexpress. It provides nice abstractions above the VS API that might help you getting things done faster.

I just need sth simple like the one shown in the video above. But I want it in C#. The 1st link u provide is all in visual basic. The 2nd link is not what I want. – yeeen Oct 23 '09 at 10:49
