Well, not very accurate title. In fact, we cannot place a macro itself on the toolbar or menu. Instead we can create a button for it. But let's start from the beginning.
You have created your super macro which saves you a lot of work in Visual Studio .NET (see how to create macro). It works perfectly, you love it and you want to use it as often as possible. But locating it in Macro Explorer and double-clicking its (sometimes quite long) name isn't the best idea. What you obviously want is to have a button on VS .NET toolbar or an entry in main menu which runs your macro when clicked. And of course you want to add some nice icon to your button. Today I'll show you how. It is even possible to add your macros or commands to right-click context menu. But this is more difficult and I'll show you this next time.
