Create a minimal extension

An extension project for WindowSill is essentially a .NET Class Library. It can be used with Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code and JetBrains Rider.

This guide will walk you through the process of creating a WindowSill extension project using these editors.

Create a WindowSill extension project

  1. Open a command line prompt.
  2. Install the dotnet project template for WindowSill: 
    dotnet new --install WindowSill.Extension.Template
  3. Create a WindowSill extension project: 
    dotnet new windowsill-ext --name MyExtension

That's it! In the next section, we will cover how to build and debug this extension, and later one, we will understand what this code does and how to make your own sill.
