The number of workspaces appear to be growing at a hell of a rate.
@chris-maunder do you have any shiny graphs to show the growth?
Are the active members of this site really generating that many or is there something else at play here?

Every time someone downloads a zip file from an article, a forked workspace is created.
Since I check attached files when approving articles, I am constantly deleting workspaces that are automatically forked to my account. I wish there was a user preference setting for that.

That must be like some kind of exponential self-destruct feature then!

Ew. Why fork unless someone specifically requests to fork a workspace? That is really bad implementation, IMO.

The reason seems to be that you get an exact copy of what you downloaded initially so when you need it again later and the article has been modified or isn't available anymore you still have a copy. Yet I would rather have an option that asks me if I want to fork or just download it.
Example:
-click on the link to the attached files to the article
-download page with 2 buttons ("just download", "fork and download")

That is what I thought, doesn't sound right to me...

There is: look under the Articles tab in your preferences.

Well every article generates one so I'm sure that has something to do with it!

Well, if someone yells at me, I think they are an a$$hole and ignore them.
Maybe the phone is doing the same thing 
|

Odd. I never bothers me when someone yells at you. Perhaps you overreact?

I don't see an appropriate forum.. Let me know if I need to move this...
Is it possible to automatically generate a .Net solution and some projects with it? Anyone know of tools to do this?
Thanks

Yes, but that example doesn't look very stable. And there's no download.

Templates are very stable - I use them to generate custom projects all the time: Adding your items to Visual Studio default files[^]
It's pretty simple - and you don't need a download: edit the existing ones to include the details you want.

1. I followed the instructions in your article. Very nice BTW .... How do I know when it's done at the command prompt since it's running in the background?
2. This isn't quite what I was asking... When I start a new project, I'm constantly create the solution and all the projects I need. I want to automatically generate a solution, a DAL project, a BL project, an Entities project, and so on....
I was wondering if there's a tool to do this.

Yes - just create a multi project template.
There are even instructions on MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms185308.aspx[^]

Ok, thanks!

OK - you might need to expand a bit on your requirement so.
What kind of thing do you want auto-generated? Are you looking for a quick prototyping environment like LightSwitch?
|
|
|
|
|
You could have a look at the cmake product. It is very popular with cross platform folk who want to generate vs projects, make files etc from the same project definition
