DotnetHelper examples

Using GetDotnetDirectory() to find the directory path of dotnet.exe / dotnet - depends on the operating system

DirectoryInfo dotnetDirectory = DotnetHelper.GetDotnetDirectory();

Using GetDotnetExecutable() to find the file path of dotnet.exe / dotnet - depends on the operating system

FileInfo dotnetFile = DotnetHelper.GetDotnetExecutable();

DotnetBuildHelper examples

Using BuildAndCollectErrors(..) to build and collect errors

This method build and collect errors if any - 0 errors is the same as a successful build.

Dictionary<string, int> buildErrors = await DotnetBuildHelper.BuildAndCollectErrors(workingDirectory);

var workingDirectory = new DirectoryInfo(@"c:\code\myproject");
var runNumber = 5;
var buildFile = new FileInfo(@"c:\code\myproject\mylib.csproj"),
var useNugetRestore = true,
var useConfigurationReleaseMode = true,
var timeoutInSec = 20,
var logPrefix = "BUILD-PREFIX";
var cancellationToken = CancellationToken.None;

Dictionary<string, int> buildErrors = await DotnetBuildHelper.BuildAndCollectErrors(
    workingDirectory,
    runNumber,
    buildFile,
    useNugetRestore,
    useConfigurationReleaseMode,
    timeoutInSec,
    logPrefix,
    cancellationToken);

DotnetCsProjFileHelper examples

Using PredictProjectType(..) to find the DotnetProjectType in a file

var file = new FileInfo(@"c:\code\myproject\mylib.csproj"),

DotnetProjectType projectType = DotnetCsProjFileHelper.PredictProjectType(file);

Note: PredictProjectType use GetProjectType but extend the determinations with surrounded files analytics as looking into the Program.cs.

Using GetProjectType(..) to find the DotnetProjectType in a file or file-content

var file = new FileInfo(@"c:\code\myproject\mylib.csproj"),

DotnetProjectType projectType = DotnetCsProjFileHelper.GetProjectType(file);

DotnetNugetHelper examples

Using GetAllPackageReferences(..) to find package-references in a file or file-content

var file = new FileInfo(@"c:\code\myproject\mylib.csproj"),

List<DotnetNugetPackageMetadataBase> packages = DotnetNugetHelper.GetAllPackageReferences(file);

var file = new FileInfo(@"c:\code\myproject\mylib.csproj"),
var fileContent = File.ReadAllText(file.FullName);

List<DotnetNugetPackageMetadataBase> packages = DotnetNugetHelper.GetAllPackageReferences(fileContent);

VisualStudioSolutionFileHelper examples

Using GetSolutionFileMetadata(..) to find VisualStudio metadata in a file or file-content

var file = new FileInfo(@"c:\code\myproject\mylib.sln"),

VisualStudioSolutionFileMetadata metadata = VisualStudioSolutionFileHelper.GetSolutionFileMetadata(file);

var file = new FileInfo(@"c:\code\myproject\mylib.sln"),
var fileContent = File.ReadAllText(file.FullName);

VisualStudioSolutionFileMetadata metadata = VisualStudioSolutionFileHelper.GetSolutionFileMetadata(file);
