Having issues trying to get my eventhandler to run before or after a built in command

[jimlocigno]

I have tried many things, searched google, looked at Mads extension library - found something kind of close there - but this still isn't working for me at least.

I eventually have certain commands in mind that I want to execute my own code either before or after but no matter what approach I take my custom code does not seem to execute? I'm an experienced developer but very new to VSIX.

Everything I find, points me to a different way of executing custom code before or after a given command but nothing seems to work?

I set breakpoints in my eventhandlers below and they never get hit.

Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated!

Here is my latest try:
`
namespace VSIXProject13
{
[PackageRegistration(UseManagedResourcesOnly = true, AllowsBackgroundLoading = true)]
[InstalledProductRegistration(Vsix.Name, Vsix.Description, Vsix.Version)]
[ProvideMenuResource("Menus.ctmenu", 1)]
[Guid(PackageGuids.VSIXProject13String)]
public sealed class VSIXProject13Package : ToolkitPackage
{

    public const string PackageGuidString = "bcf67d7a-8e10-4fe5-af47-2fa32560656a";
    private DTE2 _dte;


    protected override async Task InitializeAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken, IProgress<ServiceProgressData> progress)
    {
        await this.RegisterCommandsAsync();

        await JoinableTaskFactory.SwitchToMainThreadAsync(cancellationToken);




        _dte = (DTE2)await GetServiceAsync(typeof(DTE));
        Assumes.Present(_dte);
   
        // Hook up event handlers for before and after command execution
        _dte.Events.DTEEvents.OnBeginShutdown += OnBeginShutdown;
        _dte.Events.CommandEvents.BeforeExecute += OnBeforeCommandExecute;
        _dte.Events.CommandEvents.AfterExecute += OnAfterCommandExecute; _dte = (DTE2)GetService(typeof(DTE));



    }


private void OnBeforeCommandExecute(string Guid, int ID, object CustomIn, object CustomOut, ref bool CancelDefault)
    {
        var sw = new StreamWriter(@"c:\test\vsix.log");
        sw.AutoFlush = true;
        sw.WriteLine("here-1\n");
        sw.Close();
        // Add custom code to run before the built-in command execution
        // Example: Console.WriteLine("Before executing command: " + _dte.Commands.Item(Guid, ID).Name);
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Event handler for after command execution.
    /// </summary>
    private void OnAfterCommandExecute(string Guid, int ID, object CustomIn, object CustomOut)
    {
        // Add custom code to run after the built-in command execution
        // Example: Console.WriteLine("After executing command: " + _dte.Commands.Item(Guid, ID).Name);
        Debug.Print("We are in the OnAfterCommandExecute event");
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Event handler for when the IDE begins to shut down.
    /// </summary>
    private void OnBeginShutdown()
    {
        // Clean up resources and unregister event handlers
        _dte.Events.DTEEvents.OnBeginShutdown -= OnBeginShutdown;
        _dte.Events.CommandEvents.BeforeExecute -= OnBeforeCommandExecute;
        _dte.Events.CommandEvents.AfterExecute -= OnAfterCommandExecute;
    }
}

}`

You need to add the [ProvideAutoload] attribute to the package class. Otherwise the InitializeAsync method will never be executed by VS
