Use custom Connector function in Visual Studio (when using the Power Query SDK)

Hi all,

This is one for the experts. I would like to access my custom connector functions when querying / coding Power M in Visual Studio (with the Power Query SDK). I added my connector file to the 

 

[Documents]\Power BI Desktop\Custom Connectors

 

 folder. And my connector and functions are available in Power BI (Power Query):

Yet, when I access my shared functions within Visual Studio, my extension is not listed?

Does anybody have a solution for this? 

Perhaps @ImkeF ?

 

Kind regards,

 

Steve.

hey!

 

It should show up. It might not be sorted in alphabetical order, but it should show up if everything is setup correctly. Below is an screenshot of a test I just did with the template project that the SDK creates when you create a new data connector project:

(it's shown as PQExtension2.Contents)

 

Hope this helps!
