Automate Yourself Out Of a Job With Roslyn
summary
Covers using Roslyn compiler-as-a-service to read, analyze and rewrite C# code: loads solutions via MSBuildLocator and Workspaces, inspects SyntaxTrees with the Visual Studio Syntax Visualizer, gets SematicModels and symbols to distinguish System.String vs custom types, and runs visitors and a CSharpSyntaxRewriter that modifies string literals. Shows a real project, VisualRecode WCF→gRPC, a NuGet legacy-workspace-loader to open old csproj files, and demonstrates applying changes back to the solution successfully.
