    I used to complain that solution in all my previous work were too big. But now that I just joined EA Games, the solution I work on takes the cake by a big margin: 541 projects! :O Can't wait for VS2022! In fact.. already using the preview.. :laugh: save for a few minor bug, it ain't too bad...

    Good luck, sounds like a lot of work!

      I dunno how many man years there is in it.. but one thing I know for sure.. most people only understand the surface of what they do.. which is not ideal.. unavoidable, but not ideal.. :(

                        29. I actually had to knock up some code to find out ...

                                string basePath = @"D:\\Documents\\AA Backed Up\\My Projects";
                                string\[\] projects = Directory.GetFiles(basePath, "\*.csproj", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
                                var solutions = projects.GroupBy(p => ExtractSolution(p, basePath))
                                                        .Select(g => new { Solution = g.Key, ProjectCount = g.Count() })
                                                        .OrderByDescending(a => a.ProjectCount);
                                foreach (var solution in solutions)

                                    Console.WriteLine($"{solution.Solution} : {solution.ProjectCount}");
                                    }
                        

                        ...

                        {

                        result = result.Substring(0, result.IndexOf('\\'));
                        return result;

                                I used to complain that solution in all my previous work were too big. But now that I just joined EA Games, the solution I work on takes the cake by a big margin: 541 projects! :O Can't wait for VS2022! In fact.. already using the preview.. :laugh: save for a few minor bug, it ain't too bad...

                                That is crazy! Is that all just for the Frostbite engine? I assume it doesn't include any of the actual games? Is there a good reason for so many projects, or is it more a case of breaking things out to better control who gets access to what? I am currently on 27 projects. I guess if a product had lots of "off the shelf" plugins, that might be a good cause to grow the project count considerably, but other than that not sure how I would ever hit triple figures.

                                  A platform that supported multiple products, most of which could be combined in a superset build. Over 30M lines of source code in all. It should have been smaller, but that's the norm for legacy software.

                                    I used to complain that solution in all my previous work were too big. But now that I just joined EA Games, the solution I work on takes the cake by a big margin: 541 projects! :O Can't wait for VS2022! In fact.. already using the preview.. :laugh: save for a few minor bug, it ain't too bad...

                                    I think my biggest solution used to be somewhere around 20 projects... But 541 :omg: I'll raise you another one though, recently had to run a query on a database with around 41,000 tables X| My current biggest solution has six projects, but it's part of a larger environment with multiple solutions, which al have around five projects. It's microservicey, basically one monolith (which also isn't big, with five projects) with some smaller services around it. I think my solution with the most lines of code has a single project. It's a VB.NET project I inherited and it's by far the least maintainable. It has a form with over 4000 LOC, it calls services, databases, draws stuff, it does everything :omg: Not the largest code file I've ever seen, but probably in my top ten :laugh:

                                      That beats the 334 projects in one of the solution files I work with.
