Create an IDocument instance from a single .cs file

Question

Hi There,

I try to build a novel refactoring tool that performs refactoring on source code files that are not existing in the current work space. Is there a way I can create an IDocument instance from these source code files?

Thanks very much!

The document instances are part of the solution/project/document model, so you can only have a document instance if you manually add one to a solution instance.  So you can either take the solution that the workspace has and add your document to it (it will then be in a separate immutable branch of the solution that workspace doesn't directly know about) or you can create your own separate solution instance and add your document to that.

var solutionId = SolutionId.Create();
var projectId = ProjectId.Create(solutonId);
var documentId = DocumentId.Create(projectId);

var solution = Solution.Create(solutionId).AddProject(projectId, ...).AddDocument(documentId, ...);

var doc = solution.GetDocument(documentId);
