MSVS solution file generator?

I'm looking for a simple tool, that accepts a path, scans folders, and creates a solution (sln) file with all the projects found. Setting project dependencies automatically would be a big plus for the tool from me. I know it is simple to write the thing, but there must be plenty of "little helper tools" out there that can do the job fo...

Redistributable compiler - DLLs for MS Visual Studio

I'm making a programming learning game for my senior project and I'm looking for a compiler that can compile a DLL that can then be dynamically loaded into a Visual Studio 2008 C++ application. The important idea here is that the compiler is redistributable. If VS was redistributable I'd be using that. So far I'm had some success using...

But all code in this projects would be written in C++. At fi...

Best practice to share projects between solution trees (MSVS 2008 & MSVS 2010)

We have 50+ projects divided into 2 solution trees managed by TFS (Version: Visual Studio 2008 / TFS RTM (9.0.21022.8)). 30+ projects are Visual Studio 2008 projects and others are Visual Studio 2010 New projects use some older assemblies via references to binaries. During developing new projects we have to make changes into older a...
