Dear coders!
Google has not been my friend on this one (surprise, neither has Bing).
I want to automate VS2008 externally (basically, start it, open a solution, rebuild it, and check for errors). Kind of my version of a build server.. don't ask, it kind of makes sense given other circumstances.
I came across the EnvDTE.DTE and the ExecuteCommand, but cannot find any documentation on it.
So.. is there documentation, and is there an easy-to-use way of using it? Like a macro recorder or something?
(I found this http://skysigal.xact-solutions.com/Blog/tabid/427/entryid/1550/Visual-Studio-Macros-Where-to-find-the-full-list-of-commands-available-for-DTE-ExecuteCommand.aspx which does not work for me - immediate window is dead, and only seems to recognize commands that are valid in the current context like when debugging.)
Best wishes
Andreas
