SolutionBuild2 Interface

Represents the root of the build automation model at the solution level.

Namespace:  EnvDTE80
Assembly:  EnvDTE80 (in EnvDTE80.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<GuidAttribute("C2516E4B-5D69-459D-B539-C95A71C4FA3D")> _
Public Interface SolutionBuild2 _
    Inherits SolutionBuild
'Usage
Dim instance As SolutionBuild2
[GuidAttribute("C2516E4B-5D69-459D-B539-C95A71C4FA3D")]
public interface SolutionBuild2 : SolutionBuild
[GuidAttribute(L"C2516E4B-5D69-459D-B539-C95A71C4FA3D")]
public interface class SolutionBuild2 : SolutionBuild
public interface SolutionBuild2 extends SolutionBuild

Remarks

The SolutionBuild object provides access to all solution configurations and their properties, the project build dependencies, and startup projects.

The counterpart to the SolutionBuild object at the project and item level is the ConfigurationManager object.

Examples

This example sets the first solution configurations item to "release" and then builds the solution. Open a project in the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE) before running this add-in.

For more information about how to run this example as an add-in, see How to: Compile and Run the Automation Object Model Code Examples.
