Inspired by MSBuild.NodeTools by kmees

Installation

NuGet

MSBuild.Tsd is available as a NuGet Package with the same name. This package contains all the available tools.

Install-Package MSBuild.Tsd

NuGet will automatically add the MSBuild targets to the .csproj file.

Manually

Download the files in the build/ folder and put them in your project folder. Then open the .csproj file in an editor and do the following changes.

<Project ToolsVersion="14.0" DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
    <!-- Put this at the top of the Project node -->
    <Import Project="..\path\to\MSBuild.Tsd.props" Condition="Exists('..\path\to\MSBuild.Tsd.props')" />
    <!-- Import *.props file for the tool(s) that you need -->

    <!--
      other stuff goes here...
    -->

    <!-- Put this at the bottom of the Project node -->
    <Import Project="..\path\to\MSBuild.Tsd.targets" Condition="Exists('..\path\to\MSBuild.Tsd.targets')" />
    <!-- Import *.targets file for the tool(s) that you need -->
</Project>

Note that the MSBuild.Tsd.props and MSBuild.Tsd.targets is required by all the tools and must always be included.

There are various configuration properties you can overwrite in the .csproj file after importing MSBuild.*.props but before importing MSBuild.*.targets.
