Examples
The following example modifies the linker's OutputFile property in the integrated development environment (IDE):
' add reference to Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine
Imports EnvDTE
Imports Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine
Public Module Module1
Sub Test()
Dim prj As VCProject
Dim cfgs, tools As IVCCollection
Dim cfg As VCConfiguration
Dim tool As VCLinkerTool
prj = DTE.Solution.Projects.Item(1).Object
cfgs = prj.Configurations
cfg = cfgs.Item(1)
tool = cfg.Tools("VCLinkerTool")
tool.OutputFile = "$(ProjectName).x"
End Sub
End Module
