Visual Studio 200x Automation and Extensibility (Add Reference)

[Greg]

Greetings

Does anyone know how to get the current active (selected) project from
a Visual Studio solution that has more than 2 projects?

I can't seem to figure out how to accomplish this. I've exhausted the
VSLangProj, VSLangProj2, VSLangProj80 object models and still can't
seem to figure this out.

I would have expected an API such as DTE.Solution.GetActiveProject()

I've developed an AddIn that, when right-clicking on the Solution
Explorer's References root node, provides the ability to obfuscate the
binary, re-apply a strong-name, apply authenticode, and finally add's
the assembly reference to the project. This works if there is only one
project in the solution ,however, there is no way for me to know if
the user is adding an assembly reference for a (say 3rd) project in
the list.

anyone?

many thanks

Hi Greg,

Try doing something like this to get the active project.


Project project = (_applicationObject.ActiveSolutionProjects as object[])[0] as Project

This will give you the reference of EnvDTE project object and then do:

VSProject2 proj = (VSProject2) project.Object;

Hope this helps
