Namespace: EnvDTE80
Assembly: EnvDTE80 (in EnvDTE80.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Function AddFromFile ( _
FileName As String, _
Exclusive As Boolean _
) As Project
Project AddFromFile(

)
abstract AddFromFile :
FileName:string *
Exclusive:bool -> Project
function AddFromFile(
FileName : String,
Exclusive : boolean
) : Project
Parameters
- FileName
Type: System.String
Required. The full path and file name of the project file.
- Exclusive
Type: System.Boolean
Optional. 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.
Return Value
Type: EnvDTE.Project
A Project object.
Implements
_Solution.AddFromFile(String, Boolean)
Remarks
You can use the LaunchWizard method rather than AddFromFile to execute a wizard if you want to suppress its user interface (UI) during execution. LaunchWizard has a parameter that allows you to disable the UI.
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 shows how to create a solution and add an existing project to it.
