Configuration.Type Property

Gets a constant indicating the object type.

Namespace:  EnvDTE
Assembly:  EnvDTE (in EnvDTE.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
ReadOnly Property Type As vsConfigurationType

vsConfigurationType Type { get; }

property vsConfigurationType Type {
    vsConfigurationType get ();
}

abstract Type : vsConfigurationType

function get Type () : vsConfigurationType

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)
{   // Make sure you have a solution loaded into Visual Studio
    // before running the following example.
    try
    {
        Project prj;
        Configuration config; 
        ConfigurationManager configmgr;
        if (dte.Solution.Projects.Count > 0)
        {
            prj = dte.Solution.Projects.Item(1);
            config = prj.ConfigurationManager.ActiveConfiguration;
            // Returning the Configuration type constant.
            MessageBox.Show(config.Type.ToString());
            // Returns the ConfigurationManager containing the active configuration.
            configmgr = config.Collection;
            // Returns the application containing this active configuration.
            MessageBox.Show(config.DTE.Name);
        }
    }
    catch(Exception ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
    }
}
