Modifying Specific Projects Example...

#3

Shows how to modify a Solution, I am looking for how to modify a Project... e.g. Change the $OutDir property and update the (.vcxproj in this case) file...

IXProject in 2.x wraps an msbuild, so you can simply use it separately or such as

IXProject xp = ...
xp.SetProperty("OutDir", "new-value");
xp.Save();

MvsSln/MvsSln/Core/IXProject.cs

Lines 186 to 191 in 9ce5885

	/// Sets or adds a property with the given name and unevaluated value to the project.
	/// </summary>
	/// <param name="name">The name of the property.</param>
	/// <param name="unevaluated">The new unevaluated value of the property.</param>
	/// <returns></returns>
	PropertyItem SetProperty(string name, string unevaluated);

easy to group like

xp.SetProperties(new Dictionary<string, string>()
{ 
    { "name1", "value1" },
    { "name2", "value2" },
    { "name3", "value3" }
});

  <PropertyGroup>
    <name1>value1</name1>
    <name2>value2</name2>
    <name3>value3</name3>
  </PropertyGroup>

etc.

Close but a related problem has come up... This is covered in Issue #39...

I think it's time to play with new Discussions for the similar general questions like this.

@DynConcepts Please use Discussions for cases like this instead of opening new Issues. We'll test it together. Thanks.
