Examples

For information on how to run this add-in code, see How to: Compile and Run the Automation Object Model Code Examples.

The following example displays all the properties of an open solution.

    _applicationObject = CType(application, DTE2)
    _addInInstance = CType(addInInst, AddIn)
    PropertiesExample(_applicationObject)
End Sub

Sub PropertiesExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)
    ' This add-in lists all the properties for a solution.
    ' Open a solution in Visual Studio before 
    ' running this example.
    Try
        Dim soln As Solution2 = CType _
        (_applicationObject.Solution, Solution2)
