During a Visual Studio build, I need to have an XML file generated from another XML file. It is obvious to me an XSLT template and transform is exactly what I need.
The way I prefer to accomplish this is to use the "Custom Tool" property found on project files. Is there already a built-in tool I can use for this purpose? My next option might be to use a pre-build step of the csproj. Again, is there a (Visual Studio or MSBUILD) pre-existing or pre-installed tool that I can invoke from a pre-build step to do this?
Finally, if need be, I could have modify the .csproj file itself to add a MSbuild Task which performs the transform (I think MSBuild comes with such a Task - if not I know they are available for download).
Overall, I'd just like to know the easiest way to get this done, and how to do it. I already know how to write XSL templates. :)
