CodeDOM: Parsing and Generating C#

[John Wood]

Is it possible to use CodeDOM to parse a project's C# source files, and then
use it to generate the source from the given structures in order to reformat
all your code?

 

[John Wood]

Ignore that, it seems that CreateParser isn't implemented in this ver of
..net so that won't work.

Hi John,

You are right - the parser is not exposed to the general public (but it is
of course implemented - how the C# compiler would work otherwise? ;-) )

Hi John

If you intend to use this information at design time you can use the VS
CodeModel. This only works through VS however.

This C# reformatter can reformat all your code without going through all
that hassle:
