Examples

The following example displays the number of projects in an open solution.

Public Sub OnConnection(ByVal application As Object, _
 ByVal connectMode As ext_ConnectMode, ByVal addInInst As Object, _
 ByRef custom As Array) Implements IDTExtensibility2.OnConnection
    _applicationObject = CType(application, DTE2)
    _addInInstance = CType(addInInst, AddIn)
    ProjectsExample(_applicationObject)
End Sub

Sub ProjectsExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)
    ' This add-in displays the number of projects
    ' in a solution.
    ' Open a solution in Visual Studio before 
    ' running this example.
    Try
        Dim soln As Solution2 = CType(_applicationObject.Solution, _
        Solution2)
        Dim solnName As String = _
        System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(soln.FullName)
        MsgBox("Solution " & solnName & _
        " has " & soln.Projects.Count.ToString() & " projects")
    Catch ex As System.Exception
        MsgBox(ex.ToString)
    End Try
End Sub

using System.Windows.Forms;
public void OnConnection(object application,
 Extensibility.ext_ConnectMode connectMode, object addInInst,
 ref System.Array custom)
{
    _applicationObject = (DTE2)application;
    _addInInstance = (AddIn)addInInst;
    // Pass the applicationObject member variable to the code example.
    ProjectExample((DTE2)_applicationObject);
}
public void ProjectExample(DTE2 dte)
{
    // This add-in displays the number of projects in a solution. 
    // Open a solution in 
    // Visual Studio before running this example.
    try
    {

        string solnName =
 System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(soln.FullName);
        MessageBox.Show("Solution " + solnName + "has "

    }
    catch(SystemException ex)
