I have a co worker who is trying to add WCF Test Client to the Tools Menu in Visual Studio.

She adds the tools in just fine (exactly the same as mine that are working) but the tools listed in external tools are not visible in the Tools Menu.

I seem to remember there is an option to make these show up in this list, but I don't know where it is.

Anyone out there know this one?


Since I did not believe my coworker until she showed me, here are some screen shots in case you don't believe me.

External Tools Window:

But even with all that filled in this is all that is in the Tools Menu:

A: 

Tools -> external tools -> Add

  1. change title to : WCFTestClient

  2. Command to : C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\WcfTestClient.exe

  3. Initial directory : $(TargetDir)

this is what you get :

We did that but they don't show up in the menu.

You should find them under the Tools menu

Yeah, that is the weird part. They are not there. (I will try to upload some screen shots.)

+2  A: 

Try this: Go to Tools > Customize.
On the Commands tab, select Tools from the menu bar drop down.
Select an item from the Controls list near where you want to add the command.
Then click the Add Command button.
In the Add Command dialog, select the Tools category.
From the Commands list, select External Command X.
Click Ok.
The external command should now show up under your Tools menu.
