Description
SolZip
SolZip is an awesome tool that helps you zip up your Visual Studio 2008 C# Solutions, Projects, and Items in three easy ways! You can use the command line, Guidance Automation (GAX), or Managed Menu Extensions. It’s super handy for developers who want to share their code quickly.
How Does SolZip Work?
The idea behind SolZip is pretty straightforward. It's all about making it easier to compress your Visual Studio Solutions and Projects. While other tools do something similar, what makes SolZip stand out are the unique tools and user interfaces it offers.
No Extra Fuss with Folders
One of the coolest features of SolZip is that it doesn’t just zip up folders. Instead, it reads your .sln file and .csproj files to figure out exactly which items should be zipped. This means you don’t have to worry about excluding unnecessary stuff like bin and obj folders or .svn folders from subversion.
The Real Value of SolZip
The real charm of SolZip isn’t just in compression; it’s about gathering all the important files you need while leaving out things like generated assemblies, PDB files, XML files, and other random junk. Every developer has faced the need to share their code effortlessly, and with SolZip, you can right-click on a solution in Visual Studio and create a zip file packed with all the relevant files!
User-Friendly Integration
SolZipMME, one of its features, uses Managed Menu Extensions to add right-click options directly on Visual Studio Solutions, Projects, and Items in Solution Explorer. This feature really highlights what SolZip is all about.
The Command Line Option
If you prefer working from a command line interface, there’s also SolZip.exe. It allows you to compress solutions right from a DOS prompt. This version offers similar Visual Studio integration as SolZipMME but uses Guidance Automation instead. However, it’s not as sleek since you'll need to enable the guidance package for every solution you want to compress.
