I am mainly a java programmer, using linux/os x for as long as i remember. I am extremely comfortable in emacs and usually prefer doing things through command line.

I need to create a internet explorer addon for our next project. I need to intercept url ie is about to download and if they meet certain criteria pass it to our application.

So my questions are,

  • How can i build a c# project through command line so i can integrate it with our current build process.
  • Current i have windows 2k installed in a virtual machine that i use for testing. Is there going to be any compatibility problems.
  • I am assuming i am going to be creating a dll and inject it to ie to intercept url’s. Am i on the right track?

    Responses to your questions:

    • If you use Ant maybe this will help. If you use Maven, maybe this will help. Otherwise, I’d just use MSBuild or NAnt.
    • Can’t say for sure. I would guess that the IE API would be the same on each of the platforms. YMMV.
    • I’m busy writing an IE addon at work and I’m using SpicIE. It’s very straightforward and simplifies the IE API drastically.

    I’ve read in the comments elsewhere that you’re not a fan of VS. I would probably use it (or MonoDevelop/SharpDevelop if they can create .csproj) to create the .csproj that can be used as an input to MSBuild. It might save you time rather than having to learn the syntax of the file.
