Visual Studio COM access

Question

Is it possible to control Visual Studio like you can control Excel through the Python COM API?

I'm trying to kick off a build through COM (don't ask!)

An example would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Yes. See the Visual Studio SDK.

There are C# wrappers for the COM objects, but the underlying technology is COM.
