csproj

In relation to this previous question I am trying to create a batch file which as part must remove and add a reference to an XML *.csproj file. I have looked at this , this , this and this previous question but as a powershell n00b am unable to get it working (so far). Can anyone help me with the following? I want to remove two specific references in a VS2010 csproj file (XML) and add a new reference. I opened the csproj and the reference can be found at the following location <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Project ToolsVersion="4.0" DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="http://schemas

I downloaded a Visual Studio project but I can't open it in my copy of Visual Studio 2010. Useless error message: The project type is not supported by this installation. What software do I need to open the project type? It doesn't say. I actually went and read the .csproj file, it tells me it's project type <ProjectTypeGuids>{786C830F-07A1-408B-BD7F-6EE04809D6DB};{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}</ProjectTypeGuids> Am I meant to recognise what software I need from this random string? This is absolutely ludicrous. I found a site that lists some known project type GUIDs for Visual Studio

In VS 2010, changing <MvcBuildViews>true</MvcBuildViews> in a MVC2 project's .csproj file causes an error if you are using Entity Framework. Could not load type 'System.Data.Entity.Design.AspNet.EntityDesignerBuildProvider'. C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\web.config 129 I want to build views while I'm debugging, and I also want my project to compile! You can resolve this MVC compile issue by adding the following element to your web.config file: <add assembly="System.Data.Entity.Design, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" /> This will tell

I've checked out a branch of C# code from source control. It contains maybe 50 projects in various folders. There's no existing .sln file to be found. I intended to create a blank solution to add existing solutions. The UI only lets me do this one project at a time. Is there something I'm missing? I'd like to specify a list of *.csproj files and somehow come up with a .sln file that contains all the projects. Here is a PowerShell version of Bertrand's script which assumes a Src and Test directory next to the solution file. function GetGuidFromProject([string]$fileName) { $content = Get-Content

I'm packaging example code for an SDK distribution. In the distribution, the relative path from code to the SDK assemblies is different from the build machine. For example: Distribution csharp/bin/assembly.dll example/ex1/ex1.csproj Build Machine foo/sdk/csharp/bin/assembly.dll bar/baz/quux/ex1/ex1.csproj Assume that I can't move anything. Is there a way I can instruct ex1.csproj to look in both ../../csharp/bin/ and ../../../../foo/sdk/csharp/bin/ for assembly.dll ? In C++ I'd put the dependency path in a standalone property sheet and distribute a different version with the SDK. But C# doesn

Anyone see this before? I have a large Visual Studio project that keeps adding [Subtype]Designer[/Subtype] to my .vcproj then removing it on the next open and close of the project. There is only one class defined in StoredImageControl.cs . Anyone know how to shut this off as it is really messing up my revision control. This is before: <EmbeddedResource Include="StoredImageControl.resx"> <DependentUpon>StoredImageControl.cs</DependentUpon> </EmbeddedResource> This is after <EmbeddedResource Include="StoredImageControl.resx"> <DependentUpon>StoredImageControl.cs</DependentUpon> <SubType>Designer
