building xbuild into visual studio addin

im looking for a way to implement a addin that can convert a C# solution into a mono compiled exe, so i can use it on a linux and mac environment that have the mono framework installed.

If you're working with Visual Studio and Mono, you should compile against a Mono Profile, this helps minimizing potential errors.

If you're really looking for way to integrate XBuild into Visual Studio, you could

  • Add XBuild as Tool in Visual Studio (Tools / External Tools) or
  • If you are using VS2012 - you can use and try out MonoHelper, a little tool I created for learning purpose

There is no difference in a .Net exe and a Mono exe. Just compile your solution like you normally would in Visual Studio, then run you exe with Mono instead of .Net.
