Write visual studio project from code

Question

Is there any way to write a Visual Studio Project file easy or do i have to look at the xml format and write it by hand? Is there any lib for this in .net framework(3.5)?

Im using vb.net but c# would also work..

Answer 1

Visual Studio since version 2005 uses the MSBuild format to store C# and VB project files.

You could read this primer http://www.informit.com/guides/content.aspx?g=dotnet&seqNum=472 or search the Web for further examples.

For programmatic access you could use the classes in the Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine namespace. Probably the Project class is of most interest to you.
