Hi, so I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and for my current project I'm building a C# Add-In to handle the weaving of aspects for AspectC++. It's simple enough to gather the aspect and source files and feed them into the aspect compiler, but this generates new (modified) source files. I'm trying to emulate the standard AspectC++ Add-In: htt...

I was wondering if there was a way to validate XML files as part of a pre-build event, so that I can go back and fix the problem before the app starts up. I'm aware of (and use) code to validate XML files on application startup as part of serialization (XmlReaderSettings with ValidationEventHandler), but I'd like some way of validating ...
I'm busy automating our builds to include the svn revision number. We're using Delphi 2010. I added a pre-build event calling a batch file that injects the the svn revision number (read from the entries file in the .svn directory) and a specified version number into aVersionInfo.rc that is compiled with my project. The pre-build event ...
I'm trying to use a pre-build event in Visual Studio (VS 2005 to be specific) to run a Python script which will automatically generate a .cpp file. The trouble I'm running into is that the compiler doesn't seem to know that this file is dirty and needs to be rebuilt until after the build has finished, which means that I need to build th...
I have a solution in Visual Studio which contains several projects. I'd like to run a command at the very beginning of every build - no matter which projects are involved and whether or not they are up-to-date. Essentially I need something similar to a solution-wide pre-build event, but unfortunately VS does not appear to support these....
Hi all I'm attempting to replace a pattern in all my .aspx and .ascx file when I Publish my Webapplication. When I am running the application locally, I don't care about the replace. But as soon as I need to Publish the solution I need a sequence of characters, let's say "ABC", replaced with "DEF" in all my .aspx and .ascx files. How ...
Hi Guys, I am trying to add a prebuild event which essentially sets Build Action = None For a list of files before the solution is packaged up for release. How would I go about adding this & what command would I use to exclude a number of files in the web solution ? i.e. \script\some-script.js [Set Build Action = None] etc \script\...
Is there a way to modify Visual Studio 2008 or 2010 project pre-build events from within your code in C#? Does C# have such preprocessor directives that would allow one to configure what gets run before project compilation and build? The purpose of this is to scan the project for shader effect files (.fx) and recompile them without edit...
Hi, I have a project in c# which uses bindings to use some c++ code. The c++ code consists of multiple DLL's which are compiled using a makefile. Currently I'm trying to run the makefile using a pre build event which calls nmake. However to get it to find nmake I need to have a line in it like the following: "$(DevEnvDir)..\..\VC\vcvar...
