Add support for reflection based creation

[shmuelie]

This is great for code I write, but what if I want definitions for code I only have the DLL of?

Interesting. How should this work? What's the user experience for this? Any thoughts?

[shmuelie]

UX could be from the context menu for References?

+1 this is a good idea

so you would add it to the client....where all the files are really needed anyway.
Via Reflection would be easy but would need a way of selecting the Classes to generate.

Sounds like a new Extension.

if someone is willing to set up the Extension Hooks.....I would be willing to do the actual Generation Code.

Experience should start similar to Add Reference or maybe like EF for existing database.
Would need a way to update when DLL updates.
Should this be part of the build experience?
Should these files be ignored by SCM since they are auto-generated?

Anyone want to team up on this?
