README for VisualStudio.NET users

Gendarme now includes a two VS.NET solutions.

1. gendarme.sln

This solution is compatible with MonoDevelop and includes the projects
needed to build/test Gendarme on Linux.

2. gendarme-win.sln

This solution include projects to compile Mono.Cecil.Pdb (instead of 
Mono.Cecil.Mdb) and to build the win32 installer. Otherwise it's 
identical to gendarme.sln.


\/\/\/ DISCLAIMER \/\/\/

This is NOT the main build tool used for Gendarme development (autofu +
Makefiles are). So it's likely that the solution and projects will 
sometimes be out of sync and not usable without some changes [1].

These are unsupported, for your convenience, files. Use at your own risk!

Requirements

* The minimal requirements are VS.NET 2008 [2];
* You need to check some modules from Mono SVN repository
	* 'mcs' (or mcs/class/Mono.Cecil) to get Mono.Cecil
	* 'cecil' to get Mono.Cecil.Pdb
	* 'mono-tools' for Gendarme latest sources
* You need ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll to compile Gendarme.Rules.Portability [3]
* You need NUnit 2.4.x to build/run the unit tests


Notes

[1] Please report such issues and they will, eventually, be fixed when
someone gets to work with VS.NET. Remember this is not the primary 
development platform for Gendarme.

[2] Older version won't work since Gendarme uses C# 3 features.

[3] Get it from Mono mcs SVN repository or from download it from
http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SharpZipLib/
