Remarks
The Solution object is a collection of all the projects in the current instance of the IDE and all solution-wide properties such as build configurations. The Solution object contains a project element for every project, whether it is a wrapped project, a subproject, or a top-level project.
Reference this object by using DTE.Solution. To refer to virtual projects, such as MiscFiles or SolutionItems, use Solution.Item(EnvDTE.Constants.vsProjectKindMisc) or Solution.Item(EnvDTE.Constants.vsProjectKindSolutionItems).
Examples
This example works only in Visual Studio .NET 2003. For more information, see How to: Migrate Code that Creates Projects by Using Templates.
Sub SolutionExample()
' This function creates a solution and adds a Visual Basic Console
' project to it.
Dim soln As Solution
Dim proj As Project
Dim msg As String
' Create a reference to the solution.
soln = DTE.Solution
' Create a new solution.
soln.Create("c:\temp2", "MyNewSolution")
' Create a new Visual Basic Console application project.
' Adjust the save path as needed.
proj = soln.AddFromTemplate("D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vb7\VBWizards\ConsoleApplication\Templates\1033\ConsoleApplication.vbproj", "c:\temp2", "My New Project", True)
' Save the new solution and project.
soln.SaveAs("c:\temp2\newsolution.sln")
msg = "Created new solution: " & soln.FullName & vbCrLf
msg = msg & "Created new project: " & proj.Name
MsgBox(msg)
