vbproj file format? -- visual studio .net general

Does anyone(?) understand the format of the vbproj/csproj file(s) as
used by Visual Studio 2005?

As part of a controlled Build process, I'm trying to work out the
/physical/ location of each source file that's used in any VB or C#
project. My intention is to reject the build if I find any file not
from a "known" source.
In 'Studio 2003, this was fairly straightforward, but I'm struggling to
get my head around the "new" project file format.

Any ideas?

TIA,

Hi,

You might want to look at

Visual Studio Automation and Extensibility
Automation and Extensibility

I think you can get programmatic access to projects and configurations,
list properties, start builds etc.

Note however, that this requires the IDE, it's not to be confused with
doing command line builds using things like MAKEFILE's.
