How to get list of projects in current Visual studio solution?
See the question and my original answer on StackOverflowHere are a various set of functions that allow you to enumerate projects in a given solution. This is how you would use it with the current solution:
// get current solution
IVsSolution solution = (IVsSolution)Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Package.GetGlobalService(typeof(IVsSolution));
foreach(Project project in GetProjects(solution))
{
....
}
....
public static IEnumerable<EnvDTE.Project> GetProjects(IVsSolution solution)
{
foreach (IVsHierarchy hier in GetProjectsInSolution(solution))
{
EnvDTE.Project project = GetDTEProject(hier);
if (project != null)
yield return project;
}
}
public static IEnumerable<IVsHierarchy> GetProjectsInSolution(IVsSolution solution)
{
return GetProjectsInSolution(solution, __VSENUMPROJFLAGS.EPF_LOADEDINSOLUTION);
}
public static IEnumerable<IVsHierarchy> GetProjectsInSolution(IVsSolution solution, __VSENUMPROJFLAGS flags)
{
if (solution == null)
yield break;
IEnumHierarchies enumHierarchies;
Guid guid = Guid.Empty;
solution.GetProjectEnum((uint)flags, ref guid, out enumHierarchies);
if (enumHierarchies == null)
yield break;
IVsHierarchy[] hierarchy = new IVsHierarchy[1];
uint fetched;
while (enumHierarchies.Next(1, hierarchy, out fetched) == VSConstants.S_OK && fetched == 1)
{
if (hierarchy.Length > 0 && hierarchy[0] != null)
yield return hierarchy[0];
}
}
public static EnvDTE.Project GetDTEProject(IVsHierarchy hierarchy)
{
if (hierarchy == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException("hierarchy");
object obj;
hierarchy.GetProperty(VSConstants.VSITEMID_ROOT, (int)__VSHPROPID.VSHPROPID_ExtObject, out obj);
return obj as EnvDTE.Project;
}
