I have a bunch of projects I have to open and recompile in a particular order if
I make a change to one of the base dll's. Is there some way I can batch compile
from a command prompt?

TIA,
Bob
 
Bob,
if you are interested in a tool that is designed to do precisely what you
describe, have a look at VisualMake http://www.visualmake.com
It will take you a few minutes to install the trial and run a build. Compile
order is established automatically, so you don't have to worry about that...

Interesting product. Nice toolbar. Is it third-party or your own?

VisualMake fails to resolve a third-party control reference (C1.Win.FlexGrid)
that VS finds, so I'm not sure I can use it yet.

Some feature requests: I'd like to see a GAC auto-registration option for
selected project outputs. Also the file browser should show and allow
navigation with shortcuts, and default to 'Visual Studio Projects'.

Thanks,
Bob
 
Bob,
the toolbar is the ActiveBar by Data Dynamics.

Thanks for pointing out the problem with FlexGrid, will have a look...

GAC auto-registration is on the "coming soon" list.

I am not sure what your last note means ("file browser should show and
allow..." ), would you mind elaborating a bit...

Click to expand...

I'm referring to the dialogue that pops up from Add Multiple Projects \ (Look
In) Browse... I dislike having to navigate to the Visual Studio Projects folder
for my account in Documents and Settings from C:. It would be nice to have the
dialgue default to this location, or to another that the user specifies, and
allow it to see and use shortcuts.

Bob,
thanks for clarification. I will log this as an enhancement request.
May I ask you to get in touch with me privately at the e-mail address in the
message header? I just need to ask you a couple of quick questions and don't
want to clutter the newsgroup with off-topic posts.

TIA,
Gagik
