Microsoft: .NET: Visual Studio: Parameter: Command line: Which command
line parameters?
---
Steps: Overview:
1. -On an MSDOS command line type the following command:
"c:\program files\microsoft visual studio .net\common7
\ide\devenv.exe" /?
2. You will see then text similar to the following:
---
Usage:
---
devenv [solutionfile | projectfile | anyfile.ext] [switches]
---
You can invoke devenv with a first argument to specify a solution file
or project file. You can also invoke devenv with a first argument that
is any other kind of file that you just want to open in an editor. When
you supply a project file, the IDE opens it in the context of a
solution by looking for a .sln file with the same base name as the
project file in the same directory as the project file. If no such
.sln file exists, then the IDE looks for a single .sln file that
references the project. If no such single .sln file exists, then the
IDE creates an unsaved solution with a default .sln file name that has
the same base name as the project file.
---
Command line builds:
---
devenv solutionfile.sln /build solutionconfig [ /project
projectnameorfile [ /projectconfig name ] ]
---
Available command line switches:
/build build the specified solution configuration
/project specifies the project to build instead of solution
must specify /build to use /project
/projectconfig specifies project configuration to build
must specify /project to use /projectconfig
/out write build output to specified file
/rebuild like /build but forces a clean first
/clean clean up build outputs
/deploy build the specified solution configuration and then deploy it
/run run the specified solution configuration
/runexit run the specified solution configuration and then
terminate
/command executes the specified internal command line after
startup
/mditabs use tabbed documents interface
/mdi use MDI interface
/fn use specified font name
/fs use specified font size
/LCID use specified language ID
/noVSIP disables VSIP developers license key for VSIP testing
/safemode only default environment and services load for
stability
/resetskippkgs allow VsPackages once flagged for loading failures to
load again
---
Product-specific switches:
/debugexe Open the specified executable to be debugged. The
remainder of the command line is passed to this
executable as its arguments.
/useenv Use PATH, INCLUDE, LIBPATH, and LIB environment variables
instead of IDE paths for VC++ builds.
---
To attach the debugger from the command line, use:
vs7jit.exe -p <pid>
