How Do I use It (Workflow)

a Workflow I just made up

• create your original project. You probably already did this.
• decide you want to build a different version of it
• create a solution folder in the root called _Builds. I do this so it's at the top of the Solution Explorer and easy to find. Also, it's out of the way of the main project.
• Run the GUI app, create the destination Project.
• drop CodeLinker.exe in the Solution root. It's not massive so don't panic.
• run CodeLinker.exe
• add references and fix things in your destination Project.
• carry on with your original project
• rinse & repeat
• decide on a strategy for keeping the destination Projects up-to-date by...

a couple of suggested ways to run this

• Visual Studio Project post-build process, add the command line(s) with args to your source project's Build Events tab in the Project Properties window, in the Post-build event command line: text box. If you add it to the source project it updates its destinations whenever you build it. The targets don't have to be loaded in Visual Studio, actually life is (sometimes) easier if they aren't because VS will want to reload them if/when they change.
• Set up a .cmd or .bat with a command line or few and run it when you think it all needs a refresh.

Diff all the things after a recycle to make sure I haven't eaten a kitten by mistake.
