Tofino

Ensemble Tofino for Visual Studio is a plug-in that enables .NET developers to create Flex frontends 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.

This version enables Tofino to work with the latest Flex SDK 4.5 (Hero) and provides some minor bug fixes.
