Project Description

MSBuildShellExtension lets you build .NET projects without ever opening Visual Studio or the command prompt. MSBuild targets can be executed from your favourite file system tool like Windows Explorer or Total Commander. The possibility to extend MSBuildShellExtension with your own targets and editors, makes it a very flexible and useful tool for all .NET developers.

Which new features would you like to see in MSBuildShellExtension? Comment this page or create a new discussion/issue.

May 9, 2008
As you propably noticed, I haven't had a lot of time updating this site or the project recently. This is caused by:

1. I use MSBuildShellExtension each day, and it works pretty good already.
2. I'm working on a lot of other ideas.
3. I do a lot of UI code at my job, so it isn't really that fun coding UI in my sparetime.
4. The weather is GREAT in Denmark right now!

So if any of you guys wan't to help extending MSBuildShellExtension in the future, please send me a mail.

This is a great and handy tool. First installed you will miss it, when you don't have it. It speeds development. You edit a small change with notepad, then right click to build and last start the unit testing. You do not have to wait on the looooong startup of VS2008. Thanks Thomas for this great tool.
