Hi,

Is there any way to find the dependent projects in the solution and build the projects accordingly sequentially.

The project with no dependencies will build first.
Then the other projects which are dependent on the first project and so on.

Can we do it programmatically with C# or PowerShell?
Are there any Visual Studio commands available?

What I have tried:

Using VS we can easily see the dependencies. But I could not find any way to achieve it programmatically with C# or PowerShell.

That's odd question considering VS does this automatically.
