Get solution folder name in TFS 2010 - visual-studio-2010

Question

I am struggling to get solution folder names in the TFS drop locations.
I have a .NET solution file in the following hirerchy:
Solution File
--> Solution Folder A --> Project A
--> Solution Folder B --> Project B & Project C
Now I want my drop location should be customized like the above project hierarchy.
means : in the Drop Location it should be : SolutionName -> SolutionFolderName -> ProjectName -> {build output}
By implementing customize output directory in my build template , i.e. $(TeamBuildOutDir)\$(SolutionName)\$(MSBuildProjectName), I am getting Solution Name -> Project Name -> Build outputs..
But I am not getting Solution Folder names to structure my outputs. Can anybody suggest how to get this so that I can read from my project files.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You could set a property in the projects that corresponds to the solution folder name (e.g. $(SolutionFolder)). Then you could set the output directory to $(TeamBuildOutDir)\$(SolutionFolder).

Answer 2

public static TeamProject[] GetAllProjects(TfsTeamProjectCollection prjCollection)
{
var versionControl = prjCollection.GetService<VersionControlServer>();
return versionControl.GetAllTeamProjects(true);
}
public static ProjectCollection GetAllIterations(TfsTeamProjectCollection prjCollection)
{
var wiStore = prjCollection.GetService<WorkItemStore>();
return wiStore.Projects;
}
/// <summary>
/// function to get all system project name
/// </summary>
private void IterateFolder()
{
try
{ var selectedProject = "EMRConversion";
Project detailsOfTheSelectedProject = null;
var projCollections = GetAllIterations(prjCollection);
foreach (Project project in projCollections)
{
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(selectedProject))
{
if (project.Name.ToString().Contains(selectedProject))
{
detailsOfTheSelectedProject = project;
break;
}
}
}
if (detailsOfTheSelectedProject != null)
{
cmbSystemName.Items.Clear();
foreach (Node area in detailsOfTheSelectedProject.AreaRootNodes)
{
if (!(area.HasChildNodes))
{
cmbSystemName.Items.Add(area.Name);
}
foreach (Node item in area.ChildNodes)
{
cmbSystemName.Items.Add(item.Name);
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
}
