It's better to use include_external_msproject with C# projects. After fixing bug <a href="http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=13120">http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=13120</a> it's possible to use:<br>
<br>include_external_msproject(Configurator ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/MyCSProject.csproj<br> TYPE FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC<br> PLATFORM "Any CPU"<br> )<br><br>Additionally you can use configure_file to create file in $(SolutionDir) to pass information (like paths, configuration options, etc.) to msbuild and VS IDE.<br>
<br>The only drawback is that CMake sees these project as utility projects, so you can't use them in generator expressions. However you can link to them by adding dependencies.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Aug 22, 2012 at 3:03 PM, Gerhard den Hollander <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gdenhollander@fugro-jason.com" target="_blank">gdenhollander@fugro-jason.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Most fo the C++ code is being build using CMake,<br>
the C# code is build using the msbuild tools.<br>

I know that currently there is no C# support planned in CMake,<br>

various degrees of success using custom_command(..) or other CMake<br>
tricks to kick of C# builds using msbuild/devenv.<br>
<br>
For those who have succesfully build mixed code projects (so C# and<br>
C/C++ ), would you mind explainign how this is done ?<br>
<br>
Preferably with some example CMake files ?<br>
