Here is the code snippet from the code I used for automated compilation of CSharp code....
string _projectName = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(projectFilePath);
XmlDocument _project = new XmlDocument();
_project.Load(projectFilePath);
XmlNamespaceManager ns = new XmlNamespaceManager(_project.NameTable);
ns.AddNamespace("msbld", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003");
XmlNode _settings = _project.SelectSingleNode("//msbld:Project/msbld:PropertyGroup/msbld:AssemblyName", ns);
string _asmName = _settings.InnerText;
XmlNodeList _files = _project.SelectNodes("//msbld:Project/msbld:ItemGroup/msbld:Compile", ns);
ArrayList _sourceNames = new ArrayList();
// Add compilable files
foreach (XmlNode _file in _files)
{
string _codeFilename = _file.Attributes["Include"].Value.ToLower();
if ( _codeFilename != "assemblyinfo.cs" && !_codeFilename.EndsWith("vsa.cs") )
{
// Read the source code
int _idx = _sourceNames.Add(_file.Attributes["Include"].Value);
}
}
XmlNodeList _reference = _project.SelectNodes("//msbld:Project/msbld:ItemGroup/msbld:Reference", ns);
foreach (XmlNode _asmRef in _reference)
{
// Try to use the AssemblyName attribute if it exists
string _refAsmName;
if (_asmRef.Attributes["AssemblyName"] != null)
_refAsmName = _asmRef.Attributes["AssemblyName"].Value;
else if (_asmRef.Attributes["Name"] != null)
_refAsmName = _asmRef.Attributes["Name"].Value;
else
{
_refAsmName = _asmRef.Attributes["Include"].Value;
if (_refAsmName.IndexOf(",") > 0)
_refAsmName = _refAsmName.Substring(0, _refAsmName.IndexOf(","));
}
cp.ReferencedAssemblies.Add(_refAsmName + ".dll");
}
cp.GenerateExecutable = false; // result is a .DLL
cp.IncludeDebugInformation = true;
String[] _sourcefiles = (String[])_sourceNames.ToArray(typeof(string));
CompilerResults cr = provider.CompileAssemblyFromFile(cp, _sourcefiles);
if (cr.Errors.Count > 0) //if (_compErrs.Length > 0)
{
bool _error = false;
foreach (CompilerError _err in cr.Errors)
{
// Error or warning?
if (!_err.IsWarning)//( _err.ErrorLevel != Microsoft.CSharp.ErrorLevel.Warning )
_error = true;
if(_error)
swrLog.WriteLine("CompileAndDeploy:CompileComponentAssemblies: Error compiling " + _projectName + ".\nPlease rectify then redeloy.");
else
swrLog.WriteLine("CompileAndDeploy:CompileComponentAssemblies: Warning compiling " + _projectName + ".\nPlease rectify then redeloy.");
swrLog.WriteLine( _err.ErrorText);
}
if (_error)
{
swrLog.WriteLine("Compile errors occurred. Rectify first.");
throw new Exception ("Compile errors occurred. Rectify first." );
}
}
method 2: msbuild
//string projectFileName = @"C:\Temp\E4SE\src\SMEC\Epicor.SMEC.IInterfaces.csproj";
BuildManager manager = BuildManager.DefaultBuildManager;
ProjectInstance projectInstance = new ProjectInstance(path);
var result = manager.Build(new BuildParameters()
{
DetailedSummary = true
},
new BuildRequestData(projectInstance, new string[] { "Build" }));
var buildResult = result.ResultsByTarget["Build"];
var buildResultItems = buildResult.Items;
mswrLog.WriteLine("Building: " + path + " Result: " + buildResult.ResultCode);
