Automation Script for Visual Studio


This section presents a Windows Script Host script that uses VBScript and the Visual Studio 6.0 COM Automation model to create a project based on an XML definition. The script automates the process of creating Visual Studio projects for testing and debug purposes. It assumes that the application uses a batch build environment.

In this example, control script creates and populates a Visual Studio 6.0 project by using a project definition contained in an XML file. XML was chosen as a portable, self-describing data format that can be used in the command-line interface of any integrated development environment. As a result, the XML definition need not change even if the Automation interfaces for Visual Studio change.
