Ensemble
An Adobe® Flex™ plugin for Microsoft® Visual Studio®

Tofino

Ensemble Tofino for Visual Studio is a plugin that enables .NET developers to create Flex front ends for their applications in the same IDE that they normally use. Instead of using a separate text or XML editor and manually invoking the compiler, they can move smoothly between MXML and .NET file types within Visual Studio, and invoke Flex build and run commands from Visual Studio menus.

Download Tofino 1.2008.12.31 including Flex SDK (80MB).
