Analog of Visual Studio Solution for my application

Question

I would like to make an analog of Visual Studio Solution for my application.

I mean to make a file similar to Microsoft Visual Studio Solution file (.sln), which includes links to all the other solution files.

Can anyone link to an article on this topic? I could not find anything about it.

Answer 1

If you need to build a series of Visual Studio solutions, then you need a build tool.

The two most commonly used in the .NET world are

• MSBuild (reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd393574.aspx)
• Nant (reference: http://nant.sourceforge.net/)

(It's not clear what you're asking, you may wish to clarify or give an example.)

Answer 2

I didn't really understand what you mean, but it seems that you need a building system, like CMake (www.cmake.org).
