Automatically export a visual studio 2012 template -
i'm wanting way 'automatically' export templates visual studio 2012.
i'm aware can manually selecting file->export template , fill out wizard's questions each project have in solution, takes long time (typing... etc). want automate in code.
i've spent quite bit of time researching no avail; hence question here!
investigation 1: 'could' macros, bit ugly , not professional. (how list of projects have in solution way?)
investigation 2: apparently possible tapping visual studio's automation objects; can @ function export project, launches export template wizard resulting in having manually type in details anyway. see link
investigation 3: can execute file called 'projectgen.exe', helps creation of wizard's options (so don't have type them), apparently belongs company and, after contacting them, not willing give me file. (not that, designed earlier versions of visual studio , calling out-of-proc exe not nice) see link
there similar question @ visual studio 2012 - export template automation no real answer.
there must cleaner way this! id happy share knowledge have... thanks!
i ended creating codedui recording , modifications able automate whole multi-project export process.
