Assembly:  EnvDTE (in EnvDTE.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
ReadOnly Property Type As vsConfigurationType

vsConfigurationType Type { get; }

property vsConfigurationType Type {
    vsConfigurationType get ();

abstract Type : vsConfigurationType with get

Property Value

Type: EnvDTE.vsConfigurationType
A vsConfigurationType constant, specifying the type of configuration.

Remarks

For configurations, Type returns a constant indicating whether the collection of configurations is a row of configurations for a specific configuration name, or a column of configurations for a given platform. If the window belongs to an environment tool, then Type identifies the tool. If the window is for a package-supplied tool or document window, then Type is either vsWindowTypeToolWindow or vsWindowTypeDocument, and the ObjectKind property indicates package-specific type information.

Examples

public void CodeExample(DTE2 dte, AddIn addin)
{   
    try
    {   // Make sure you have a solution loaded into Visual Studio
        // before running the following example. Make sure the "Any CPU" 
        // option is marked in the Configuration Manager dialog box.
        Configurations configs = null;
        if (dte.Solution.Projects.Count > 0)
        {
            configs = dte.Solution.Projects.Item(1).ConfigurationManager.Platform("Any CPU");
            // Show the type of configuration.
            MessageBox.Show(configs.Type.ToString());
        }
    }
    catch(Exception ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
    }
}
