This is really cool. Thanks for providing it. I've just written a NAnt
task to wrap it and I have a couple of questions. Is it OK to
distribute source or binaries for CollectionGen with NAnt ? In the
current design all the work is done in a subclass of
BaseCodeGeneratorWithSite. It would be nice to factor out the actual
generation code so that it can be called on systems without VS.NET. I
can't compile a call to BaseCodeGeneratorWithSite.GenerateCode( .. )
without a reference to Microsoft.VSDesigner.dll. It would also bi nice
to have a command line tool that could be used independent of visual
studio - a bit like XSD.exe.
I'd be happy to do all the work on this. Are you accepting patches for
CollectionGen ?
Thanks again for providing a nifty tool.
Ian
btw the NAnt task is of the form
<typedcollection language="CSharp" >
<fileset>
<includes name = "collections.xml" />
</fileset>
</typedcollection>
