Integrating with Visual studio

Hi,

I want to get out of a visual studio project all the C/C++ source files

that make up the project and the command line objects to preprocess

each file. Which list should I post a question like this at?

Thanks,

Bob Rossi

I should have mentioned. I would like to be able to do this from

outside of Visual Studio. Does microsoft provide some API or SDK to do

this sort of thing?

Thanks,

Bob Rossi

I am writing an application that requires our customers to have them tell us all the C/C++ files there program is made up of, and all the information necessary (includes/defines) needed in order to preprocess there files. In order to make there life easy, I would like for them to simply point us at a visual studio project file, and have our tool use some microsoft SDK or API to automatically grab all of this information for them.

Is this possible? What SDK or API would I use? Any examples for this? Is there a msft number I should call to follow up on this?

Thanks,
Bob Rossi

What you probably want to consider is extending visual studio as it exposes functionality to work with solutions and projects.

Hi Mr B Rossi,

My university lecturer said we should keep all files associated with a PROJECT / SOLUTION

in the BIN folder of a PROJECT ( She has had formal MS training ), anyway doing this saves

having FULL paths in file operations such as > "c:\my documents\etc\whatever\myfile.txt"

This keeps all solution related files together.

Maybe one thing you could ask your customers to do is the same and simply send you a directory view printout or screenshot giving you all the file names?

(Easy done if they hit the PRINTSCREEN key and PASTE the pic into MSPaint or similiar, SAVE the pic and email it to you.)

This at least would be a start?

Regards,

S_DS.
