We're already using heavily modified .scproj files. Take a look. I think trying to approach it from this angle (so that we stick to a single solution) is the most promissing approach.
I'm strongly against having two parallel solutions.

What about modification of solution/project files - that's an interesting idea. I'll think about it more. It may be possible to locate differences and include/exclude them automatically.

We're using in some of our project conditional fragments in our msbuild files. An example:

<Choose>
<When Condition="$(PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE) == 'AMD64' Or $(PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432) == 'AMD64'">
<ItemGroup>
<Reference Include="System.Data.SQLite, Version=1.0.65.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=db937bc2d44ff139, processorArchitecture=AMD64">
<SpecificVersion>False</SpecificVersion>
<HintPath>..\Lib\x64\System.Data.SQLite.DLL</HintPath>
</Reference>
</ItemGroup>
</When>
<Otherwise>
<ItemGroup>
<Reference Include="System.Data.SQLite, Version=1.0.65.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=db937bc2d44ff139, processorArchitecture=x86">
<SpecificVersion>False</SpecificVersion>
<HintPath>..\Lib\x86\System.Data.SQLite.DLL</HintPath>
</Reference>
</ItemGroup>
</Otherwise>
</Choose>

Will think more about it...

    Valeriu,

    We've already tried keeping two versions of solution - one for
    .NET one for Silverlight and it didn't work. The problem was that
    keeping them in sync with regard to added/removed/renamed files
    and changes to the buildscripts/.scproj files was just a major PITA.

    That's why we went with single solution+multitargetting approach
    and it works well mostly.

    I'm wondering - perhaps we would be able to modify the .sln/scproj
    files so that Visual Studio can consume them, so that by switching
    build configuration we'd be able to switch target framework
    version in Visual Studio as well?

    Would that be possible/feasable?

    Everything compiles, all tests are green (both targets, NET4 &
    SL). A cleanup & removing some duplication at project/solution
    level is required. Also, build scripts should be reviewed.

    I've took traditional way for multi-targeting, where a second
    project (Silverlight) is created and all source files are linked
    to original project. To make things a bit more automated, I've
    used Project Linker tool. I've posted detailed description of the
    process in my blog - Multi-targeting with Project Linker by
    example: Castle.Core for Silverlight 4
    
<http://blog.caraulean.com/2010/10/13/multi-targeting-with-project-linker-by-example-castle-core-for-silverlight-4/>.

    I've committed all changes to my Castle.Core fork on GitHub:
    http://github.com/vcaraulean/Castle.Core
    Solution that contains new projects:
       Castle.Core-SL.sln
    I'll be very glad if somebody will review my commits. Any
    feedback and comments are welcome.

         Hi Valeriu,

        Yes, that's how I do Silverlight build - from command line
        with tests. That hasn't really been a problem for me thus far
        but if you have a way to make it easier to work with
        Silverlight target in Visual Studio that would certainly be
        beneficial for anyone who would want to do so.

        Perhaps Roelof can better answer this.

        Cheers,
        Krzysztof

            I'm interesting how people are working with sources when
            working with Silverlight target.
            From what I've seen, there is no way actually to have a
            solution/project in VS targeted for SL4. The binaries for
            Silverlight can be built only from command line. Tests
            can be run only from command line. Is that true?

            I'm asking this because the Silverlight 4 build is
            broken, I'll try to fix it. Also, I want to enable few
            tests for DictionaryAdapter that are ignored at this
            moment for SL.

            Thanks
