.net projects and .config files

[StephaneG31]

.net projects (in windows) use .config files which are in XML Format. It will be great if cloc can count this kind of files

The unfortunate thing is that .config is so generic and could contain anything and used by many different programs. I wonder why Microsoft couldn't just stick a .xml extension at the end?

In any case you can force cloc to treat .config files as XML files two different ways. First with

cloc --force-lang=XML,config   your_dotnet_proj/

and second, with a custom language filter, ref https://github.com/AlDanial/cloc#create-custom-language-definitions-

The dotnet project files have .csproj and .fsproj extensions for C# and F#. There is also VB but I don't remember the extension.

[AlDanial]

.csproj and .fsproj are already recognized:

» cloc --show-ext csproj
csproj          -> MSBuild script

» cloc --show-ext fsproj
fsproj          -> XML

Difficult to say which association is most applicable: dotnet, XML, C#, F#, MS Build
