VSCode to VS C++ Extension

This section provides an overview of the VSCode to VS C++ Extension.

This extension was created with the same idea as Cameron Kauffman's command line program to convert C++ projects into Visual Studio projects.

I (Zaden Connell) wanted to create a Visual Studio extension that allows you to convert a VSCode workspace into a Visual Studio solution. This extension is the result of that.

Installation

Install this extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace.

You can also install this extension from the GitHub releases.

Usage

To use this extension, open a VSCode workspace where your .cpp and .h, etc. files are located. Then, open the command palette and run Generate C++ Solution Files. This will create a Visual Studio solution file in the workspace's root.
