Some time ago I proposed a syntax to allow the ultimate customization of
<solution> task.
It was something like:
<solution configuration="Release" outputdir="${output.dir}"
includevsfolders="false" showcommands="true">
<projects>
<includes name="${build.dir}/**/*.csproj"/>
</projects>
<override project="*.csproj">
<param name="VisualStudioProject/CSHARP/Build/Settings/@DelaySign"
value="True" />
<override file="File1.cs">
<param name="@BuildAction" value="Compile" />
</override>
</override>
<override project="**/Project1/*.csproj">
<compiler-args>/codepage:1250</compiler-args>
</override>
</solution>
Each <override> would be processed after the project is loaded into memory
and it matches the "project" attribute. The algorithm would be:
1. For each <param>, find the XML node specified by "name" XPath attribute
2. Set the value of this node as specified in "value" attribute
The idea is simple, yet allows for ultimate extensibility. Perhaps we might
even think about adding / removing items specified by XPath.
For parameters, that aren't there in the *.csproj file we'd have special
tags, like <compiler-args> mentioned above.
Applications:
1. To override some flag in all C# projects, you use: <override
project="**/*.csproj" />
2. To override some flag in all VB projects, you use: <override
project="**/*.vbproj" />
3. To override some flag in all VB projects, you use: <override
project="**/*.vcproj" />
4. To exclude some file from compilation, use:
<override file="File1.cs">
<param name="@BuildAction" value="Content" />
</override>
What do you think ?
