FileName : String,
Exclusive : boolean
) : Project
Parameters
FileName
Type: StringRequired. The full path and file name of the project file.
Exclusive
Type: BooleanOptional. Indicates whether the project loads in the current solution or its own solution; true if the current solution is closed and the project is added to a new solution, false if the project is added to the existing, open solution.
