C# assemblies and + programs can be added just like common C++ targets using + the :command:`add_library` and :command:`add_executable` + commands. Referencing between several C# targets in the same + source tree is done by :command:`target_link_libraries` like + for C++. Referencing to system or 3rd party assemblies is + done by the target properties :prop_tgt:`VS_DOTNET_REFERENCE_` + and :prop_tgt:`VS_DOTNET_REFERENCES`. + +* C# as a language can be enabled using :command:`enable_language` + or :command:`project` with ``CSharp``. It is not enabled by + default. + +* Flag variables, target properties and other configuration + that specifically targets C# contains ``CSharp`` as a part of + their names. + +* More finetuning of C# targets can be done using target + properties. Specifically the Visual Studio related target + properties (``VS_*``) are worth a look (for setting toolset + versions, root namespaces, assembly icons, ...). -- cgit v0.12
