Some time ago I wrote my first T4 template which generates a solution (*.sln
) file out of a number of C# project (*.cspoj
) files, located in a folder and all descendants. Although it turned out not to be necessary to solve the task I was working on, and assuming it’s quite simple, I still decided to share it for further reference. May someone can find it useful. So, below is the entire T4 template, with no extra comments:
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00
# Visual Studio 2010
<#@ template language="cs" hostspecific="false" #>
<#@ output extension=".sln" #>
<#@ parameter name="Folder" type="System.String" #>
<#@ assembly name="System.Core" #>
<#@ assembly name="System.Xml" #>
<#@ assembly name="System.Xml.Linq" #>
<#@ import namespace="System.IO" #>
<#@ import namespace="System.Linq" #>
<#@ import namespace="System.Xml.Linq" #>
<#
if (Directory.Exists(Folder))
{
var csprojFiles= Directory.GetFiles(Folder, "*.csproj", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
foreach (var file in csprojFiles)
{
ProjectFileMetaData metaData = new ProjectFileMetaData(file, Folder);
WriteLine("Project(\"{3}\") = \"{0}\", \"{1}\", \"{2}\"", metaData.Name, metaData.Path, metaData.Id, ProjectFileMetaData.ProjectTypeGuid);
WriteLine("EndProject");
}
}
#>
<#
public class ProjectFileMetaData
{
public static string ProjectTypeGuid = "{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}";
public ProjectFileMetaData(string file, string root)
{
InitProperties(file, root);
}
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Path { get; set; }
public string Id { get; set; }
private void InitProperties(string file, string root)
{
XDocument xDoc = XDocument.Load(file);
XNamespace ns = @"http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003";
XElement xElement = xDoc.Root.Elements(XName.Get("PropertyGroup", ns.NamespaceName)).First().Element(XName.Get("ProjectGuid", ns.NamespaceName));
if (xElement != null)
{
this.Id = xElement.Value;
}
this.Path = file.Substring(root.Length).TrimStart(new char[] { '\\' });
this.Name = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(file);
}
}
