Is it possible to add a custom tab to a project properties page in the Visual Studio 2008? What I want to do is to be able to add a custom tab to properties page for the projects created from default project templates (WPF Application, WPF custom controls library, etc).

A: 

I've no idea, but Google found me the Visual Studio Extensibility Developer Center . There's an SDK for extending the Visual Studio IDE. Maybe it's possible with that.

I don't think you can add to those panels for existing .Net project types.

What would these custom tabs contain? All the other tabs edit the contents of .csproj (or .vbproj), what's in there that needs a custom editor?

Keith,

I'm working on VS add-in for WPF applications localization. I want to be able to manage project specific settings via "project properties" page. I did some research and it seems that it is not possible to extend existing projects in this way.

As I understand it works for project subtypes only. I was looking for a way to extend existing project types.
