从VS扩展中调用MSVC编译器

Question

Is it possible to invoke cl.exe, the MSVC++ compiler, from inside a Visual Studio extension? I'm using VS2010 and not bothered about maintaining compatibility for 2008/2005. I've hunted through MSDN and had a poke through my DTE object, but not found anything of use. The documentation on what you can do with this stuff is kinda sparse.

Answer 1

如果您只是设置适当的环境变量，则当然可以从普通命令行调用cl.exe。

Answer 2

I agree that the documentation for VSX can be confusing. I'm a bit unclear about what you're trying to do, are you trying to execute cl.exe directly, or do you just want to compile the current project/solution?

If you're just looking to build the current solution, from an Add-In you can do something like this:

_applicationObject.Solution.SolutionBuild.Build()

Let me know if I misunderstood your question.
