I have multiple versions of visual studio on my development system. The problem I have is that if I double-clicked on a solution or project file, my computer would often open the wrong version of Visual Studio for that project. (Usually the latest installed version. ) I wrote a simple command line application that parses the solution/project files, and launches the appropriate version of Visual Studio.

In addition, my utility can be used to build solutions/projects from the command line (like MsBuild), using the appropriate version of Visual Studio for that project.

This utility currently supports:
- Visual Studio 2012
- Visual Studio 2013
- Visual Studio 2015
- Visual Studio 2017

This project was developed using the Poco open source libraries.

Features

  • Visual Studio version auto selector
  • Visual Studio batch build tool
