Get path of project created in experimental Instance of Visual Studio - visual-studio

Question

I am developing a Visual Studio extension package. Every time I test run, an experimental instance of VS opens up. I created a project in the experimental instance; how can I get the path of the project created in the experimental instance?

Answer 1

Given the IVsHierarchy object that represents the project hierarchy, you can use the VSITEMID_ROOT id when calling the GetProperty method with the VSHPROPID_ProjectDir / VSHPROPID_Name properties.
Alternatively, if you have an EnvDTE.Project, then you can use the EnvDTE.Project.FullName property.

Answer 2

The first thing you should import EnvDTE (in EnvDTE.dll). Then I declared property ProejectFullName
string ProejectFullName{ get; }
A string representing the full path and name of the project object’s file.
public void GetmyFilePath(DTE2 dte)
{
try
{ // Open a project before running this sample.
Project prj = dte.Solution.Projects.Item(1);
Projects prjs;
string msg, msg2 = "Global Variables:";
msg = "FileName: " + prj.FileName;
msg += "\nProejectFullName: " + prj.ProejectFullName;
msg += "\nProject-level access to " + prj.CodeModel.CodeElements.Count.ToString() +
" CodeElements through the CodeModel";
prjs = prj.Collection;
msg += "\nThere are " + prjs.Count.ToString() + " projects in the same collection.";
msg += "\nApplication containing this project: " + prj.DTE.Name;
if (prj.Saved)
msg += "\nThis project hasn't been modified since the last save.";
else
msg += "\nThis project has been modified since the last save.";
msg += "\nProperties: ";
foreach (Property prop in prj.Properties)
{
msg += "\n " + prop.Name;
}
foreach (String s in (Array)prj.Globals.VariableNames)
{
msg2 += "\n " + s;
}
MessageBox.Show(msg, "Project Name: " + prj.Name);
MessageBox.Show(msg2);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}
