Parameters

itemidLoc
Type: System.UInt32
[in] Identifier of the container folder for the item being added. Should be VSITEMID_ROOT or other valid item identifier. See the enumeration VSITEMID. Note that this parameter is currently ignored because only adding items as children of a project node is supported. Projects that support the notion of folders will want to add the items relative to itemidLoc.

dwAddItemOperation
Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.VSADDITEMOPERATION
[in] Operation applied to the newly created item. Can be VSADDITEMOP_OPENDIRECTORY only if VSADDITEM_ShowAddFolderButton is passed to the method AddProjectItemDlg. See the enumeration VSADDITEMOPERATION.

pszItemName
Type: System.String
[in] Name of the item to be added.

cFilesToOpen
Type: System.UInt32
[in] Number of items in rgpszFilesToOpen. Can be zero. This must be 1 if dwAddItemOperation is VSADDITEMOP_CLONEFILE or VSADDITEMOP_OPENDIRECTORY. If VSADDITEMOP_RUNWIZARD, it must be 1 or 2.

rgpszFilesToOpen
Type: array<System.String[]
[in, size_is(cFilesToOpen)] Array of pointers to OLESTR file names. If dwAddItemOperation is VSADDITEMOP_CLONEFILE or VSADDITEMOP_OPENDIRECTORY, the first item (rgpszFilesToOpen[0]) in the array is the name of the file to clone or the directory to open. If it is VSADDITEMOP_RUNWIZARD, the first item (rgpszFilesToOpen[0]) is the name of the wizard to run, and the second item (rgpszFilesToOpen[1]) is the file name the user supplied (same as pszItemName).

hwndDlgOwner
Type: System.IntPtr
[in] Handle to the Add Item dialog box.

pResult
Type: array<Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.VSADDRESULT[]
[out, retval] Pointer to the VSADDRESULT enumeration indicating whether the item was successfully added to the project.

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.
