I was just trying to think of something that wouldn’t get messed up
again.
I was up till 4am last night at eRubyCon, and this is just me thinking
outloud…
I’ve had it in my mind to write a msbuild plugin for Rake, instead of
maintaining the csproj files directly, how about maintaining them in
rake
files that can generate csproj files on demand? That way we’re not
beholden
to VS strong armness?
Just a random crazy thought.
You could yes, my assumption would be that pregenerated csproj + sln
files
would be there already though for people that don’t have a ruby
installation
already.
Just so I understand, if I wanted to load the files in Visual Studio,
I would run a rake file which would generate me the csproj + sln and
launch VS?

That’s the way I hoped it would work after clicking send

Nope. The files in the distribution have the correct layout. The
Rakefile is only used by us to transform our internal dir layout into
the external-facing one.

I don’t think this would really work in practice, since files are added
by folks who use the IDE all the time.

The assumption would be that the project layouts don’t change that
often,
certainly less often the the cs files which is what is really being
maintained in the IDE most of the time.
