Adding custom menu on right click to project in solution explorer (Visual studio 2010)

I have been trying to add another option in the right click menu (just above Add references) to build some come packages.

I am using VSPackaging (VS 2010) for this. The problem is I am not able to get the correct Guid with which I can get the button in its right place.

I tried the following:

<Menu guid="guidSHLMainMenu" id="IDM_VS_CTXT_ITEMNODE" priority="0x0000" type="Context">

but this only gets as far as getting a control at an item level and not at the project level.

I tried out the combination of {guidSHLMainMenu, IDG_VS_CTXT_PROJECT_ADD} with priority set to 0x2000 and it worked.

May be this is too old thread but in case if someone reach here you can find the answer

We have to use a different Id if we have to add a new menu item to the Project level content menu

Please replace IDM_VS_CTXT_ITEMNOD with IDM_VS_CTXT_PROJNODE

You can follow a different approach which is the most suitable method if you don't know the Id for a particular menu.

Please check the link to see the solution VSIX: Adding a Menu Item to the Visual Studio Editor Context Menu
