如何用vim构建或编译VS2010 / XNA4项目？

Question

I've played with a few different plugins to get C# to compile in vim, namely Visual_studio.vim , vim-csharp and vim-csharp , but the only one that even starts to compile is OrangeT's vim-csharp , but when I'm working on an XNA solution, all the XNA references are not found:

The type or namespace name 'Xna' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Is there anything I can do to better work with C#/XNA with vim?

If it's relevant: Windows7x64bit VisualStudio2010 XNA4 Python2.7x64bit gVim73

@Reacher Gilt had the right idea, and so I want to give him the answer, but my final solution was to use the msbuild.exe which I've added to my PATH at some point, and combine it with this solution to make a build.bat file and :make from that.

1. in my *.sln folder I wrote a build.bat file that looks like: msbuild.exe "C:\\path\\to\\*.sln"
2. set makeprg=build.bat
3. OR let &makeprg='"C:\\path with spaces\\build.bat"' if you've got spaces in the file path. That's let not set with an apostrophe and then a double quote surrounding the path, along with no slashes before the space characters.
4. set errorformat=\\ %#%f(%l\\\\\\,%c):\\ %m to format the error messages.
5. :make on a file inside that directory
6. :cl to list all the errors.

edit: I'm not sure why, but putting the &makeprg in your vimrc doesn't seem to do anything. Hopefully someone can explain it to me. You have to "manually" enter it in: yy switch to current file <CR>0<Bksp><CR>

You're on Windows, so you always have the option to build on the commandline with msbuild. I'm sure you have the facility in vim to run a macro specifying a project relative to the current buffer's path.

The command line looks like

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\(version)\msbuild.exe "project file path"

This should pull in your project's references when building, so you'll avoid those errors.
