vsCommandEvent was based on vsSolutionBuildEvent engine to continue the mission of providing flexible customization for your environment and its automation.

Yet another advanced handlers of the most events but unlike the first it was focused on advanced manipulations with Visual Studio IDE and its runtime.

• Examples - scripts, solutions, syntax etc.,
• vsSolutionBuildEvent engine
• Processing modes
  • Script Mode
  • Targets Mode
  • C# Mode
  • EnvCommand
• SobaScript
• E-MSBuild
• Wiki

The development environment of any users can be flexibly changed according to your needs in a few steps.

This is possible because vsCommandEvent may override a lot of things from IDE. It also provides flexible actions due to the fact that it was based on vsSolutionBuildEvent.

You can even override the 'Exit' (including [X] and Alt + F4 hotkey) for Visual Studio IDE on the fly depending on some state of the document etc.

Why not look at some similar solutions from vsSolutionBuildEvent.

Although it cannot be same as for vsCommandEvent (since it was based on another technologies), let's try to look closer. Can we achieve the same result?

vsCommandEvent initially may work with commands from VS. Thus, you can catch commands when starting the any Build operations still for the entire solution or individually for each project separately.

This is it ~

Still available versioning as you prefer. Moreover, with the vsCommandEvent you can handle versioning for most operations of Visual Studio. Just try as you need.

Disturbs [Warnings] and [Errors] ?! no problem, manage it:

vsCommandEvent provides most of the action types from vsSolutionBuildEvent engine:

• Files Mode, Operation Mode, Interpreter Mode, Script Mode, Targets Mode, C# Mode, and more such as EnvCommand Mode etc.

Supports advanced MSBuild & SBE-Scripts engine for powerful usage. And lot of other features for the convenience of your work with the build, tests, versioning, IO operations, and so on. See the documentation.

A few modes for you:

You can even work with MSBuild Targets / Tasks and other 'as is' (classic compatible mode).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">

    <Target Name="Init">
        <!-- your awesome code ... -->
    </Target>
    
</Project>

You can also choose this as an preferred action type.

namespace vsCommandEvent
{
    public class CSharpMode
    {
        public static int Init(ICommand cmd, ISolutionEvent evt)
        {
            // your awesome code ...
        }
    }
}

Through E-MSBuild engine.
