Create custom menu item in Object Explorer

Question

Basic question is how to create custom menu items in Object Explorer in Sql Server Management Studio ?

Actually what I want to implement is create menu item which will perform as:

1. Create CRUD stored procedures for the table on which the user had done right-click.
2. Possibly other stuff like remove duplicate records.

The executing module could be external written in C#.NET

I have checked SSMS Addins but I think it is different than what I am looking for.. (please correct me if I am wrong)

I hope I am clear enough now !

Contradance

Its not hard to do using a SSMS Addin, there is some help out there but not much because SSMS-Addins are not supported by Microsoft. The implementation is slightly different for each version of SSMS - this is the key starting place. (Dont confuse the version of SSMS with the version of the database engine you connecting to) – Gigantean
