ConfigBuilder Visual Studio Custom Code Generation Tool

ConfigBuilder Visual Studio Custom Code Generation Tool

"ConfigBuilder Visual Studio Custom Code Generation Tool

Our first submission comes from John Lewicki. Thanks! From his comments:

Some of you may be interested in a tool I recently posted to Workspaces, that is intended to make working with custom configuration sections as painless as possible.

Workspace: http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/Workspaces/workspace.aspx?id=d7cfbcd5-5963-45db-9755-17dc429164bb

Releases: http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/Workspaces/viewUploads.aspx?id=d7cfbcd5-5963-45db-9755-17dc429164bb

It takes as input a simple XML file that describes the schema of a custom configuration section, and it generates an IConfigurationSectionHandler implementation that will parse the custom section from the configuration file. Additionally it generates simple value classes that provide strongly typed access to the configuration data. After running the installer, look in the installation directory for the documentation.

The tool is a VS Custom Tool (like the MS data set generator that generates typed data sets), so it integrates quite nicely with Visual Studio (2003)."

Cool....
