ExportVisualStudio

Author: Lasse Järvensivu a.k.a. Statement

What it does

• Creates Visual Studio projects (2005, 2008, 2010 CTP) to allow Unity3D coders to benefit from intellisense.
• Automatic documentation download for missing documentation (all you need to do is extract the contents).
• Launches Visual Studio project for you.
• Includes .cs .js .boo .shader files out of the box and easy to mod!

Installation

Add this script file into a folder called "Editor", and allow for unity to compile it.

Usage

• 1) In Unity, select from the the menu "File/New Visual Studio Project/" the version of Visual Studio C# project you want to create. Please note that 2005 and 2008 versions are untested at the time of writing.
• 2) In case Xml documentation is missing, this script will attempt to download it. To successfully install the documentation you need to extract the Xml files into the opened directory.
• 3) If all went well, the script will offer to open the project for you.

C# - ExportVisualStudio.cs

// ExportVisualStudio.cs
 
// Created by Lasse Järvensivu (no email please, but I might be on IRC as 'Statement').
// Feel free to modify code, make money from it, or claim it is yours.
// I don't care. 'I hold no ownership to this document'. I hope you enjoy.
 
 
// What it does:
// * Creates Visual Studio projects (2005, 2008, 2010 CTP) to allow Unity3D coders to benefit from intellisense.
// * Automatic documentation download for intellisense inline documentation (all you need to do is extract the contents).
// * Launches Visual Studio project for you.
 
 
// Installaton:
// 1) Add this script file into a folder called "Editor", and allow for unity to compile it.
 
 
// Usage:
// 1) In Unity, select from the the menu "File/New Visual Studio Project/" the version of
//    Visual Studio C# project you want to create (Note that 2005 and 2008 versions are untested).
// 2) In case Xml documentation is missing, this script will attempt to download it. To successfully
//    install the documentation you need to extract the Xml files into the opened directory.
// 3) If all went well, the script will offer to open the project for you.
 
 
// Troubleshooting:
// If you want to silence the nagging compability warning, simply remove the first two lines of code in
//   ExportVisualStudio.GenerateVisualC2005 and ExportVisualStudio.GenerateVisualC2008.
//
// If downloading the documentation locks up unity, remove the call to DocumentationHelper.CheckAndDownload
//   in ExportVisualStudio.GenerateVisualC2005, ExportVisualStudio.GenerateVisualC2008 and
//   ExportVisualStudio.GenerateVisualC2010.
//
// Finally, don't be afraid to change the code to suit your needs. Start in ExportVisualStudio functions
//   and then work your way around the calls to figure out how the code works. It is not complex, it just
//   contains a lot of xml generation.
