Visual Studio Solution Configurator

ByteHide Shield's desktop configurator provides a powerful graphical interface to manage protection settings for entire Visual Studio solutions.

Overview

The ByteHide Shield desktop configurator is a standalone application available for Windows and macOS that allows you to:

• Configure protection settings at the solution level (.sln) instead of for each project
• Apply consistent protection settings across all projects in your solution
• Create, save, and manage Shield configurations visually
• Copy protection settings between projects
• Preview and customize JSON configuration files

Key Benefits

1. Solution-wide Protection

Rather than configuring each project separately, the desktop configurator lets you apply protection settings to your entire solution at once. This ensures consistent security across all your assemblies.

2. Visual Configuration

The intuitive interface makes it easy to:

• Enable/disable specific protections
• Configure protection parameters
• Set intensity levels
• Preview the impact of your settings

3. Project-specific Overrides

While maintaining global settings, you can still customize protection for specific projects within your solution when needed.

4. Easy Integration with CI/CD

Export your configuration to include in your build pipelines for consistent protection across all environments.

Getting Started

1. Download and install the ByteHide Shield desktop configurator
2. Load your Visual Studio solution file (.sln)
