How do you get the current solution directory from a VSPackage?
If using the IVsSolution
interface, you can use GetSolutionInfo
to obtain the path of the solution, the solution filename, and the solution user options (SUO) filename:
this.solution.GetSolutionInfo(
out string solutionDirectory,
out string solutionFile,
out string userOptsFile);
You can get a DTE object from one of these functions:
public static DTE GetCurrentDTE(IServiceProvider provider)
{
/*ENVDTE. */DTE vs = (DTE)provider.GetService(typeof(DTE));
if (vs == null) throw new InvalidOperationException("DTE not found.");
return vs;
}
public static DTE GetCurrentDTE()
{
return GetCurrentDTE(/* Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell. */ServiceProvider.GlobalProvider);
}
After that, you can get active Solution
from DTE.Solution
and Solution
path from DTE.Solution.Path
property.
I found the answer to the specific question. The VisualStudio.DTE object can be retrieved via the GetService()
method as follows:
// Get an instance of the currently running Visual Studio IDE
DTE dte = (DTE)GetService(typeof(DTE));
string solutionDir = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(dte.Solution.FullName);
