Hi ,
On Unix system we could do a mass compilation using shell scripting . Getting the Program names from a single location and passing them to the cob command for compilation.
How do i implement that in Visual COBOL Powershell Environment . How do i compile my various Projects under D:\\Visual Studio 2013\\Projects i one go.
In Unix i could get my program name dynamically from a particular directory as source pgms are at one location, but using MSBUILD i need to go inside the Project folder containing the .cblproj for each project
Thanks,
Zoeb
Why are you not simply using msbuild.exe on the solution file or files? It's not clear what problem you're trying to solve.

I want to compile multiple projects in one go ... without passing the project name manually.

You just use batch file that has a recursive for, for example:
buildall.bat that contains:
setlocal
cd /D "D:\\Visual Studio 2013\\Projects"
for /R %%i in (*.sln) do msbuild %%i

Thanks I wrote one Powershell scripts to do that.
