The extension delivers a multi-target C# (.NET 4.0, .NET 4.5 and .NET Standard) project template; imbACE – Advanced Console Environment, imbSCI – Coding for Science project and item templates, and:

• General code snippets
• Data annotation snippets (imbSCI)
• imbACE code snippets (Console application)

Item templates cover: namespace XML documentation, imbACE Advanced Console and Plugin classes, imbSCI Global configuration and imbNLP Transliteration definition file. Project templates contain custom MSBuild target, that makes copy of NuGet .nupkg file to local NuGet repository, after each build.

Project templates

Blank multi-target library project

C# Library project, targeting .NET 4.0, .NET 4.5 and .NET Standard 2.0.

The .csproj file contains:

• optional build instruction to copy .nupkg file into local NuGet repository
• declaration of compiler tags for each target
• other helpful things.

The main purpose of this template is to help you with setting up a multi-target project – a feature that is still only partially supported by the Visual Studio 2017 GUI (15.7.4). Other goals of the template design are to streamline Build/Pack/Local Deployement of the NuGet Packages, now integrated with the new Visual Studio Project structure – aka: the SDK project type / PackageReference / .NET Standard project.

imbACE Console Application multi-target

Project for imbACE console application, based on the "Blank multi-target library project", with custom: Advanced Command Console, State and Workspace classes.

Targets: .NET 4.0, .NET 4.5 and .NET Standard.

The imbACE framework is all about rapid console tool applications development. The project's goal is to provide completely automated UI/TUI/GUI generation, for multiple platforms - using data annotation and meta information. The concept is: you should code only your scientific contribution, wasting no time on the interface and reporting side of the project. The framework is made for scientists, researchers and technical professionals, developing custom software tools for their specific applications.
