Hi!

I'm new to this group, so I hope I can find some help here.

My problem is that I want to create a tool window from my addin in
Visual Studio 2005. After some research I found out two ways: The
"old" way using a shim control and the "new" way using the
CreateToolWindow2 method. I really would like to use the second way,
but then I run into some problems:

The CreateToolWindow2 method uses (probably) reflection to create the
user control that I want to host. In my case, I already have the
UserControl-reference and I do not want to let VS create it. Is that
somehow possible?!

Any help is appreciated!

Regards
