The SolutionConfiguration2 type exposes the following members.

Properties

  Name Description
Public property Collection Gets the SolutionConfigurations collection containing the SolutionConfiguration object supporting this property.
Public property DTE Gets the top-level extensibility object.
Public property Name Gets the name of the object.
Public property PlatformName Gets the target platform CPU for configuration.
Public property SolutionContexts Gets a collection of SolutionContext objects.

Methods

  Name Description
Public method Activate Moves the focus to the current item.
Public method Delete Removes the SolutionConfiguration object from the collection.

Remarks

For each project SolutionConfiguration also represents which project configuration and platform provide context for the build operation and design-time features in the environment, such as statement completion in the editor.

Examples

This example displays each solution configuration item's name and sets the first item's configuration name to "release". Open a project in the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE) before running this add-in.

For more information about how to run this example as an add-in, see How to: Compile and Run the Automation Object Model Code Examples.
