The syntax is deliberately identical to "protoc". What does the error message say, exactly?

protogen.exe myProtoFile.proto --csharp_out=.\

I am having difficulty as well. I cannot even get a single .proto to be read an code generated from it.

Directory not found:
Paths should be relative to the import paths, not rooted
Parameter name: name
   at Google.Protobuf.Reflection.FileDescriptorSet.Add(String name, Boolean includeInOutput, TextReader source, FileDescriptorProto fromFile)
   at protogen.Program.Main(String[] args)

Ok, I got it to at least read a single file, I have multiple imports that are not found. How do I get protogen to find the imports? They are arranged like this, currently:

• _ProtoBuffers
  • Message1.proto
  • imports1dir
    • SubMessage1.proto
    • SubMessage2.proto
  • imports2dir

If i use the following protogen.exe --proto_path=C:\Source\Test-Protbuf-net\Test-Protbuf-net\_ProtoBuffers **\*.proto --csharp_out=..\Messages

It lists all the .protos under root, but says file not found for each.
