VisualStudio VSIX: Adding an item to the ErrorList

gistfile1.cs

var vsixPackage 	= O2_FluentSharp_VSIXPackage.vsixPackage; // this is a reference to an Package object 

var ivsSolution 	= (IVsSolution)Package.GetGlobalService(typeof(IVsSolution));
var dte  		= (EnvDTE80.DTE2)Package.GetGlobalService(typeof(EnvDTE.DTE));
var errorListProvider 	= new ErrorListProvider(vsixPackage);
var errorText		= "this is a test item";
var errorCategory 	 = TaskErrorCategory.Error;

//Get first project details
var proj 		= dte.Solution.Projects.Item(1);
var projectUniqueName	= proj.FileName;	
var firstFileInProject 	= proj.ProjectItems.Item(1).FileNames[0];

//Get first project IVsHierarchy item (needed to link the task with a project)
IVsHierarchy hierarchyItem;
ivsSolution.GetProjectOfUniqueName(projectUniqueName, out hierarchyItem);

var newError = new ErrorTask() 
		{
			ErrorCategory = errorCategory,
			Category 	  = TaskCategory.BuildCompile,
			Text		  = errorText,
			Document 	  = firstFileInProject, 
			Line		  = 2,
			Column	 	  = 6, 
			HierarchyItem = hierarchyItem			
		}; 
		

newError.Navigate += (sender,e)=>
	{
		//there are two Bugs in the errorListProvider.Navigate method:
		//    Line number needs adjusting
		//    Column is not shown
		newError.Line++;
		errorListProvider.Navigate(newError, EnvDTE.Constants.vsViewKindCode.guid());
		newError.Line--;
	};

errorListProvider.Tasks.Clear();	// clear previously created
errorListProvider.Tasks.Add(newError);	// add item
errorListProvider.Show(); 		// make sure it is visible
			
return errorListProvider;

Dear Dinis,
I have referred your code for adding errors to Errorlist window of Visualstudio. Thanks you and appreciate.
Everything was fine but how can i add Error Id Which appears under Code column in Error list.

Hi,

I'm interested in how to fill Code field of an error too. I'm adding manually errors in error list but the Code field is empty.
In my extension I'm writing errors in VS output window in the next format :
filePath(line): type code : description

The type can be error, warning or message. In this way I can double click on an error from output window and VS allows me to navigate to the line of code where the error occurred. Is there any way to make VS error list to automatically get the errors from output window if them are written in the above mode?

Hi,

Another problem about VS Error List is the order of the messages. I want the messages to be sorted like this: Errors, Warnings, Messages. I sorted my collection and I added them in order but the order is not kept. How can I make the Error List to keep my custom order or how to make it to order my custom errors in the above format?

Which command did you use to write to VS output window ?
