Game.Modding.Toolchain.Dependencies.VsWhereCatalog

Assembly: Game.Modding.Toolchain (inferred)
Namespace: Game.Modding.Toolchain.Dependencies

Type: internal class

Base: System.Object

Summary: Simple plain-old CLR object (POCO) used by the modding toolchain to hold information returned by the vswhere tool. It stores the human-readable product display version and the corresponding build/version string. These values are typically used to detect and compare installed Visual Studio instances when resolving toolchain dependencies.

Fields

  • public string productDisplayVersion = string.Empty; Human-readable product/version string reported by vswhere (for example "Visual Studio 2022"). Defaults to an empty string.

  • public string buildVersion = string.Empty Machine/build version reported by vswhere (for example "17.4.33225.371"). Defaults to an empty string.

Properties

  • None. This class exposes plain public fields rather than properties.

Constructors

  • public VsWhereCatalog() The default parameterless constructor is provided implicitly. It initializes the two string fields to empty strings.

Methods

  • None. This is a simple data container with no behavior.

Usage Example

// Direct usage:
var catalog = new VsWhereCatalog();
catalog.productDisplayVersion = "Visual Studio 2022";
catalog.buildVersion = "17.4.33225.371";
Console.WriteLine($"Detected VS: {catalog.productDisplayVersion} ({catalog.buildVersion})");

// Or when deserializing JSON output from vswhere (example using Newtonsoft.Json):
// string json = /* JSON returned by vswhere for a single instance */;
var catalogFromJson = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<VsWhereCatalog>(json);
Console.WriteLine($"Detected VS: {catalogFromJson.productDisplayVersion} ({catalogFromJson.buildVersion})");
