                solution {
                    solutionFile.location = "vs/${name}.sln"
                    solutionFile.withContent { TextProvider content ->
                        content.asBuilder().insert(0, "# GENERATED FILE: DO NOT EDIT\n")
                        content.text = content.text.replaceAll("HideSolutionNode = FALSE", "HideSolutionNode = TRUE")
                    }

    - #### getSolutionFile

          @Internal

    - #### getLocation

          @Internal
          Provider<RegularFile> getLocation()

      Returns the location of the generated solution file.
      Specified by:
        `getLocation` in interface `IdeWorkspace`

    - #### getBuildDependencies

          @Internal
          TaskDependency getBuildDependencies()

      Description copied from interface: `Buildable`
      Returns a dependency which contains the tasks which build this artifact. All `Buildable` implementations must ensure that the returned dependency object is live, so that it tracks changes to the dependencies of this buildable.
      Specified by:
        `getBuildDependencies` in interface `Buildable`
      Returns:
        The dependency. Never returns null. Returns an empty dependency when this artifact is not built by any tasks.

    - #### getName

          @Internal
          String getName()

      Description copied from interface: `Named`
      The object's name.

      Returns:
        The name. Never null.

          @Internal
          String getDisplayName()

      Description copied from interface: `Describable`
      Returns the display name of this object. It is strongly encouraged to compute it lazily, and cache the value if it is expensive.
      Specified by:
        `getDisplayName` in interface `Describable`
      Returns:
        the display name
