Questions tagged [visual-studio-macros]

A macro is a series of commands and instructions that you group together as a single command to accomplish a task automatically. Macros allow you to automate repetitive actions. Visual Studio includes the Macros integrated development environment (IDE), which is used solely for creating, manipulating, editing, and running macros. The Macros IDE is separate from the Visual Studio IDE.

The Visual Studio Macros integrated development environment (IDE) has the same look and feel as the Visual Studio IDE, but is separate from it. The Macros IDE includes the Code Editor and several tool windows. These windows function the same as their Visual Studio counterparts, except that they apply specifically to the code and projects within the Macros environment.
