Solution2 Interface
Represents all projects and solution-wide properties in the integrated development environment (IDE).
Namespace: EnvDTE80
Assembly: EnvDTE80 (in EnvDTE80.dll)

Public Interface Solution2 _
Inherits _Solution
'Usage
Dim instance As Solution2
[GuidAttribute("FA238614-FBB1-4314-A7F7-49AE8BB6C6BA")]
public interface Solution2 : _Solution
[GuidAttribute(L"FA238614-FBB1-4314-A7F7-49AE8BB6C6BA")]
public interface class Solution2 : _Solution
public interface Solution2 extends _Solution
Remarks
Solution2 contains a collection of all projects in the current instance of the IDE and all solution-wide properties, such as build configurations. It contains a project element for every project, whether it is a wrapped project, a subproject, or a top-level project.
You can find the open solution by using the DTE.Solution property. To refer to virtual projects, such as MiscFiles or SolutionItems, use Solution.Item(EnvDTE.Constants.vsProjectKindMisc) or Solution.Item(EnvDTE.Constants.vsProjectKindSolutionItems).
Examples
For information on how to run this add-in code, see How to: Compile and Run the Automation Object Model Code Examples.
The following code creates a new console application solution in the given path.
Public Sub OnConnection(ByVal application As Object, _
ByVal connectMode As ext_ConnectMode, ByVal addInInst As Object, _
ByRef custom As Array) Implements IDTExtensibility2.OnConnection
_applicationObject = CType(application, DTE2)
_addInInstance = CType(addInInst, AddIn)
SolutionExample(_applicationObject)
End Sub
Sub SolutionExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)
' This function creates a solution and adds a Visual Basic Console
' project to it.
Try
Dim soln As Solution2 = CType(DTE.Solution, Solution2)
