James E. King III commented on THRIFT-740:
------------------------------------------
This worked when I left it... you could place a .thrift file into Visual Studio
and it would regenerate the contents, amalgamate the output into a single C#
file which would show up as a child of the thrift file in the IDE.
> Visual Studio 2008 .thrift file complete integration

> I have developed a single file code generator for Thrift in Visual Studio
> 2008 which allows .thrift files to be treated as first-class citizens in the
> IDE. When you add a .thrift file to the IDE, it is compiled and then all the
> compiled code output is condensed into a single .cs file which shows up as a
> subordinate file to the .thrift file in the IDE. As you edit or save the
> file it regenerates the .cs code for full build dependency support. This is
> built directly into the existing C# project provided with the distribution,
> and the test project no longer needs a pre-build step in order to work
> properly. I also added an extensive readme on installation and provided a
> tutorial walkthrough on how to use it.
> I am waiting for Dell legal to approve release of the code as open source.
> Once that happens I will make a patch available. Until then consider this is
> a placeholder.
