Program Generator: A solution generator for Visual Studio 15, 17 and 19

Types of solution generated

The program generator is supplied as a single executable: proggen.exe. However, when this program is copied to an executable whose name matches one of the names below, the executable generates one of the following types of solution.

  • cpp15.exe Generate a minimal C++ console application for Visual Studio 2015.

  • cpp17.exe Generate a minimal C++ console application for Visual Studio 2017.

  • cs15.exe Generate a C Sharp console application for Visual Studio 2015.

  • cs17.exe Generate a C Sharp console application for Visual Studio 2017.

  • pg15.exe Same as cpp15.exe.

  • pg17.exe Same as cpp17.exe.

  • pgwpf.exe Generate a very simple WPF solution for Visual Studio 2017.

  • proggen.exe Generic solution generator. Generates any of the solutions specified here.

  • quickie Generate a simple c# solution with just a static class Program and Main. No namespace and no try..catch block.

  • WebAPI17.exe Generate a .net core web api solution.

  • wpf15.exe Generate a very simple WPF solution for Visual Studio 2015.

  • wpf17.exe Generate a very simple WPF solution for Visual Studio 2017.

  • wpf19.exe Generate a very simple WPF solution for Visual Studio 2019.

Command line switches

Command line switches start with a dash and not a forward slash. Current switches are:

  • -makeg build all the known generators - we simply copy proggen.exe to a number of different executable files. (Proggen detects which generator to run by looking at its own name).

  • --version Print out the version and the build date.
