What happened to the prism project linker in Visual Studio 2010?

Question

How do I share files between WPF and Silverlight projects in Visual Studio 2010?

Answer 1

The project linker download can be found here at the bottom of the page in the "Files in this Download" section:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=fa07e1ce-ca3f-4b9b-a21b-e3fa10d013dd&displaylang=en

And just in case you were also asking about its usage, here is a link to the usage information:

Answer 2

You can download Project Linker for Visual Studio 2010 in the Extension Manager. Just search for "Project Linker". It works perfectly!

Answer 3

It doesn't appear to have been released as a self installer for VS2010. However, the code does appear to have been updated to allow the plugin to run in VS2010.

Have a look at this discusson thread. About two thirds of the way down the tread, it gets to the point where they give that link and discuss the steps for making it work. Here is the link to the source code updated for VS2010.

The steps to use the code to generate an installer that will work for you are (ripped from the linked thread):

open solution in vs2010
compile as release
add a new VSIX project (template located under c#>Extensibility).

In the VSIX project you need to add two "content" items
- a "VS Package type" as the output of the project linker project,
- a "Custom Extension" Type - as a file and browse to the compiled project linker helper dll
