IDE Integration

Generate solutions for your favorite IDE

IDE Integration

CSBuild includes functionality to generate solution files for many popular IDEs, including Visual Studio, Qt Creator, and SlickEdit. If your favorite IDE isn't represented, CSBuild also provides a simple mechanic to extend it to generate solution files for almost any environment imaginable.

Timeline View

Get a high-level view of your whole build process

Timeline View

By showing you not only what's happening now, but everything that has happened since the beginning of your build, CSBuild provides in-depth insight into your build process, which can help you understand what projects are heaviest to compile, and re-arrange your build order to further optimize your build time.

Line-By-Line Build Profiling

Why stop at profiling runtime performance?

Line-By-Line Build Profiling

CSBuild provides an unprecented ability to optimize your builds by providing line-by-line build profiling, allowing you to see in every file which lines of code are slow to compile, and which headers are particularly expensive to include, letting you know when a refactor to remove a header is truly worth it.

Integrated GUI

CSBuild lets you see what you're building

GUI

With real-time gui output, CSBuild gives you unprecedented understanding of what's being built and when - understanding you can use to improve your build process.

Error and Warning View

See problems with your build in a readable, parsable way

Error and Warning View

In addition to parsing the warnings and delivering them to you legibly, CSBuild also filters the warnings by project and even by file, enabling you to narrow down what set of problems you want to tackle.

Better Command Line

More readable, more understandable build output

Better Command Line

The simplest case for any build system is building on the command line. While CSBuild provides a powerful GUI, it doesn't foresake the command line, either: CSBuild provides readable, understandable, and relevant output for your build process.

Integrated Code Editor

No IDE? No problem.

Integrated Code Editor

Working on a cross-platform target often means building on a system where you don't have an IDE set up. No worries; with its built-in code editor, CSBuild lets you resolve your build issues by simply double-clicking them in the GUI's output view.
