Question

Is there a way to print all (*.cs) files in a solution at once, that is, without clicking on each of them and then hitting print?

Answer 1

From what I gather from a similar question asked elsewhere, this ‘feature’ is not build into Visual Studio.

However it looks like MSDN has a macro you can use to print all of your code; perhaps you can use this, or something like it:

Sub PrintItemsInSelectedProject()     Dim proj As Project     Dim objProj As Object()      objProj = DTE.ActiveSolutionProjects     If objProj.Length = 0 Then         Exit Sub     End If     proj = DTE.ActiveSolutionProjects(0)     PrintItemsInSelectedProject(proj.ProjectItems) End Sub  Private Sub PrintItemsInSelectedProject( _     ByVal projitems As ProjectItems)     Dim projitem As ProjectItem      For Each projitem In projitems         If (IsPrintableFile(projitem) = True) Then             If (projitem.IsOpen( _                     EnvDTE.Constants.vsViewKindTextView)) Then                 projitem.Document.PrintOut()             Else                 Dim doc As Document                 doc = projitem.Open( _                     EnvDTE.Constants.vsViewKindTextView).Document                 doc.PrintOut()                 doc.Close(vsSaveChanges.vsSaveChangesNo)             End If         End If         PrintItemsInSelectedProject(projitem.ProjectItems)     Next End Sub  Function IsPrintableFile( _         ByVal projItem As ProjectItem) As Boolean     Dim fileName As String     Dim extensions As _         New System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection     ' If you add a file to your project that is of      ' a type that can be printed,      ' then add the extension of that      ' file type to this list.     Dim exts As String() = {'.cs', '.vb', _         '.aspx', '.xsd', '.xml', '.xslt', _         '.config', '.htm', '.html', '.css', _         '.js', '.vbs', '.wsf', '.txt', '.cpp', _         '.c', '.h', '.idl', '.def', '.rgs', '.rc'}      extensions.AddRange(exts)     fileName = projItem.FileNames(1)     Return extensions.Contains( _         System.IO.Path.GetExtension(fileName).ToLower()) End Function
