'Declaration
Property AdditionalLibraryDirectories As String
'Usage
Dim instance As VCLinkerTool 
Dim value As String 

value = instance.AdditionalLibraryDirectories

string AdditionalLibraryDirectories { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: System.String
A string representing the path name.

Remarks

AdditionalLibraryDirectories exposes the functionality of the linker's /LIBPATH (Additional Libpath) option and the librarian's Managing a Library option.

An example of a valid path name is "c:\additionaldirs." Use semicolons to delimit a list of more than one path.

        Dim tool As VCLinkerTool

        prj = DTE.Solution.Projects.Item(1).Object
        cfgs = prj.Configurations
        cfg = cfgs.Item(1)
        tool = cfg.Tools("VCLinkerTool")
        MsgBox("Additional Lib Directory: " & _
