如何使用NuGet从Visual Studio Project文件读取/写入设置？

Question

I'm interested in creating a NuGet package for a documentation tool I'm writing. Ideally, I'd like the user to not have to configure my tool in anyway. In order to do this, I need to be able to read some settings from the Project's .csproj or .vbproj file to get the path of the Xml documentation file generated by the compiler. I also need to add a post-build step to the project.

I've looked through their documentation but I haven't seen any mention of being able to do this. Is this possible? If so, is there any documentation or examples of this available?

Using PowerShell script, you can access the rich VS DTE object model. This allows your package to do all kind of things that NuGet doesn't have specific features for. Look at this help topic for some info on using init.ps1 or install.ps1 .
