How to create solution with multiple projects programmatically?

I want to create solution with multiple projects.

I think I have three options:

  1. EnvDTE
  2. Microsoft.Build
  3. Manually create *.sln and *.csproj files

I googled but didn't found good examples for 1 and 2 options (I mean how to create solution, add projects, add refereces, add new or existing project items, etc...)

third option, I think, is easier but if there are good options, I don't need to create projects manually.

So my questions are:

Is there any other options to create projects programmatically?

and Which option is better?

Thanks.

Just manually create the sln and csproj files (and other required files) manually, the formats are very simple. You can make this an easy task by creating a new solution with two projects in Visual Studio, and just inspecting the contents of the sln and csproj files. The idea here is that you are just making yourself a template.
