We use Visual Studio 2005 here, and in an attempt to improve the documentation of our source, we're looking for a Visual Studio add-in that will allow images to be viewed in line with source from within the IDE.

For example, the use case I'd like to fit is the following:

  1. In the directory in which my source lives, I save my image file my_image.png.
  2. In the source file, I write a comment of the form /// @image my_image.png
  3. The add-in allows me to toggle between seeing the text /// @image my_image.png and viewing the actual image within the code editing window, inline with whatever source surrounds it.

Does anyone know of an existing add-in for VS 2005? If not, does the VS add-in api allow for such functionality?

Thanks!
