I have the need to send commands (I.e Build, Debug) to a running instance (process) of visual studio created by my application.
Is it possible/does visual studio accept receiving commands using Process.StandardInput and can i do what i want be using this method? I cannot find anything regarding this by googling.
Alternatively, if no such method exists, is there a standard way to interop with Visual Studio from an external application and how do i do this.
The one alternative i can think of is grabbing a reference to the Visual Studio window somehow and sending key commands, triggering shortcuts to do what i want. though this seems like a last resort..
