Walkthrough: Managing Universal Windows Projects

Article
04/28/2015

Universal Windows apps are apps that target both Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1, allowing developers to use code and other assets on both platforms. The shared code and resources are kept in a shared project, while the platform-specific code and resources are kept in separate projects, one for Windows and the other for Windows Phone. For more information about universal Windows apps, see Universal Windows Apps. Visual Studio extensions that manage projects should be aware that universal Windows app projects have a structure that differs from single-platform apps. This walkthrough shows you how to navigate the shared project and manage the shared items. Universal Windows apps were introduced in Visual Studio 2013 Update 2.

Prerequisites

To follow this walkthrough, you must install the Visual Studio 2013 SDK.

To update Visual Studio 2013, see Visual Studio 2013 Update 4. If you already have the Visual Studio SDK installed, it will get updated at the same time

Navigate the shared project

Create a project named TestUniversalProject with the Visual Studio Package template (in the New Project dialog, C# / Extensibility / Visual Studio Package).
Select Menu Command on the Visual Studio Package Wizard Select VSPackage Options page.
Add a reference to Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.DesignTime.12.1.dll (in the Extensions section). This assembly is installed as part of Visual Studio 2013 Update 2.

Open TestUniversalProjectPackage.cs and add the following using statements:

using EnvDTE;
using EnvDTE80;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.PlatformUI;
using Microsoft.Internal.VisualStudio.PlatformUI; 
using System.Collections.Generic; 
using System.IO;
using System.Windows.Forms;

In the TestUniversalProjectPackage class add a private field pointing to the Output window.

public sealed class TestUniversalProjectPackage : Package
{
        IVsOutputWindowPane output;
. . .
}

Set the reference to the output pane inside the Initialize method:

protected override void Initialize()
{
    Debug.WriteLine (string.Format(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, "Entering Initialize() of: {0}", this.ToString()));
    base.Initialize();

    // Add our command handlers for menu (commands must exist in the 
.vsct file)
    OleMenuCommandService mcs = GetService(typeof(IMenuCommandService)) as OleMenuCommandService;
                if ( null != mcs )
    {
        // Create the command for the menu item.
        CommandID menuCommandID = new CommandID(GuidList.guidTestUniversalProjectCmdSet, (int)PkgCmdIDList.cmdidMyCommand);
        MenuCommand menuItem = new MenuCommand(MenuItemCallback, menuCommandID );
        mcs.AddCommand( menuItem );
    }

    // get a reference to the Output window
    output = (IVsOutputWindowPane)this.GetService(typeof(SVsGeneralOutputWindowPane));
}

Remove the existing code from the MenuItemCallback method:

private void MenuItemCallback(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{
}

Get the DTE object, which we will use for several different purposes in this walkthrough. Also, make sure that a solution is loaded when the menu button is clicked.

private void MenuItemCallback(object sender, EventArgs e)
{ 
    var dte = (EnvDTE.DTE)this.GetService(typeof(EnvDTE.DTE));
    if (dte.Solution != null) 
    {
        . . .
    }
    else 
    {
        MessageBox.Show("No solution is open");
        return; 
    }
}

Find the shared project. The shared project is a pure container; it does not build or produce outputs. The following method finds the first shared project in the solution by looking for the IVsHierarchy object that has the shared project capability.

private IVsHierarchy FindSharedProject()
{
    var sln = (IVsSolution)this.GetService(typeof(SVsSolution));
    Guid empty = Guid.Empty;
    IEnumHierarchies enumHiers;

    //get all the projects in the solution
    ErrorHandler.ThrowOnFailure(sln.GetProjectEnum((uint)__VSENUMPROJFLAGS.EPF_LOADEDINSOLUTION, ref empty, out enumHiers));
    foreach (IVsHierarchy hier in ComUtilities.EnumerableFrom(enumHiers))
    {
        if (PackageUtilities.IsCapabilityMatch(hier, "SharedAssetsProject"))
        {
            return hier;
        }
    }
    return null;
}

In the MenuItemCallback method, output the caption (the project name that appears in the Solution Explorer) of the shared project.

private void MenuItemCallback(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var dte = (DTE)this.GetService(typeof(DTE));

    if (dte.Solution != null)
    {
        var sharedHier = this.FindSharedProject();
        if (sharedHier != null)
        {
            string sharedCaption = HierarchyUtilities.GetHierarchyProperty<string>(sharedHier, (uint)VSConstants.VSITEMID.Root,
                 (int)__VSHPROPID.VSHPROPID_Caption);
            output.OutputStringThreadSafe(string.Format("Found shared project: {0}\n", sharedCaption));
        }
        else
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Solution has no shared project");
            return;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show("No solution is open");
        return;
    }
}

Get the active platform project. Platform projects are the projects that contain platform-specific code and resources. The following method uses the new field VSHPROPID_SharedItemContextHierarchy to get the active platform project.

private IVsHierarchy GetActiveProjectContext(IVsHierarchy hierarchy)
{
    IVsHierarchy activeProjectContext;
    if (HierarchyUtilities.TryGetHierarchyProperty(hierarchy, (uint)VSConstants.VSITEMID.Root,
         (int)__VSHPROPID7.VSHPROPID_SharedItemContextHierarchy, out activeProjectContext))
    {
        return activeProjectContext;
    }
    else
    {
        return null;
    }
}

In the MenuItemCallback method, output the caption of the active platform project.

private void MenuItemCallback(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var dte = (DTE)this.GetService(typeof(DTE));

    if (dte.Solution != null)
    {
        var sharedHier = this.FindSharedProject();
        if (sharedHier != null)
        {
            string sharedCaption = HierarchyUtilities.GetHierarchyProperty<string>(sharedHier, (uint)VSConstants.VSITEMID.Root,
                 (int)__VSHPROPID.VSHPROPID_Caption);
            output.OutputStringThreadSafe(string.Format("Shared project: {0}\n", sharedCaption));

            var activePlatformHier = this.GetActiveProjectContext(sharedHier);
            if (activePlatformHier != null)
            {  
                string activeCaption = HierarchyUtilities.GetHierarchyProperty<string>(activePlatformHier,
                     (uint)VSConstants.VSITEMID.Root, (int)__VSHPROPID.VSHPROPID_Caption);
                output.OutputStringThreadSafe(string.Format("Active platform project: {0}\n", activeCaption));
            }
            else
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Shared project has no active platform project");
            }   
        }
         else
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Solution has no shared project");
            return;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show("No solution is open");
        return;
    }
}

Iterate through the platform projects. The following method gets all the importing (platform) projects from the shared project.

private IEnumerable<IVsHierarchy> EnumImportingProjects(IVsHierarchy hierarchy)
{
    IVsSharedAssetsProject sharedAssetsProject;
    if (HierarchyUtilities.TryGetHierarchyProperty(hierarchy, (uint)VSConstants.VSITEMID.Root,
        (int)__VSHPROPID7.VSHPROPID_SharedAssetsProject, out sharedAssetsProject)
        && sharedAssetsProject != null)
    {
        foreach (IVsHierarchy importingProject in sharedAssetsProject.EnumImportingProjects())
        {
            yield return importingProject;
        }
    }
}

In the MenuItemCallback method, output the caption of each platform project. Insert the following code after the line that outputs the caption of the active platform project. Only the platform projects that are loaded appear in this list.

output.OutputStringThreadSafe("Platform projects:\n");

IEnumerable<IVsHierarchy> projects = this.EnumImportingProjects(sharedHier);

bool isActiveProjectSet = false;
foreach (IVsHierarchy platformHier in projects)
{
    string platformCaption = HierarchyUtilities.GetHierarchyProperty<string>(platformHier, (uint)VSConstants.VSITEMID.Root,
        (int)__VSHPROPID.VSHPROPID_Caption);
    output.OutputStringThreadSafe(string.Format(" * {0}\n", platformCaption));
}

Important

If the user has opened a C++ universal Windows app project in the experimental instance, the code above throws an exception. This is a known issue. To avoid the exception, replace the foreach block above with the following:

var importingProjects = sharedAssetsProject.EnumImporingProjects();
for (int i = 0; i < importingProjects.Count; ++i)
{
    yield return importingProjects.Item(i);
}

Change the active platform project. The following method sets the active project using SetProperty.

private int SetActiveProjectContext(IVsHierarchy hierarchy, IVsHierarchy activeProjectContext)
{
    return hierarchy.SetProperty((uint)VSConstants.VSITEMID.Root, (int)__VSHPROPID7.VSHPROPID_SharedItemContextHierarchy, activeProjectContext);
}

In the MenuItemCallback method, change the active platform project. Insert this code inside the foreach block.

bool isActiveProjectSet = false;
string platformCaption = null;
foreach (IVsHierarchy platformHier in projects)
{
    platformCaption = HierarchyUtilities.GetHierarchyProperty<string>(platformHier, (uint)VSConstants.VSITEMID.Root,
         (int)__VSHPROPID.VSHPROPID_Caption);
    output.OutputStringThreadSafe(string.Format(" * {0}\n", platformCaption));

    // if this project is neither the shared project nor the 
current active platform project, 
    // set it to be the active project
    if (!isActiveProjectSet && platformHier != activePlatformHier)
    {
        this.SetActiveProjectContext(sharedHier, platformHier);
        activePlatformHier = platformHier;
        isActiveProjectSet = true;
    }
}
output.OutputStringThreadSafe("set active project: " + platformCaption +'\n');

Now try it out. Press F5 to launch the experimental instance. Create a C# universal hub app project in the experimental instance (in the New Project dialog box, Visual C# / Store Apps / Universal Apps / Hub App). After the solution is loaded, go to the Tools menu and click My Command name, and then check the text in the Output pane. You should see something like the following:
```
Found shared project: HubApp.Shared
The active platform project: HubApp.Windows
Platform projects: 
 * HubApp.Windows
 * HubApp.WindowsPhone
set active project: HubApp.WindowsPhone
```

Manage the shared items in the platform project

Find the shared items in the platform project. The items in the shared project appear in the platform project as shared items. You can’t see them in the Solution Explorer, but you can walk the project hierarchy to find them. The following method walks the hierarchy and collects all the shared items. It optionally outputs the caption of each item,. The shared items are identified by the new property VSHPROPID_IsSharedItem.

private void InspectHierarchyItems(IVsHierarchy hier, uint itemid, int level, List<uint> itemIds, bool getSharedItems, bool printItems)
        {
            string caption = HierarchyUtilities.GetHierarchyProperty<string>(hier, itemid, (int)__VSHPROPID.VSHPROPID_Caption);
            if (printItems)
                output.OutputStringThreadSafe(string.Format("{0}{1}\n", new string('\t', level), caption));

            // if getSharedItems is true, inspect only shared items; 
if it's false, inspect only unshared items

            bool isSharedItem;
            if (HierarchyUtilities.TryGetHierarchyProperty(hier, itemid, (int)__VSHPROPID7.VSHPROPID_IsSharedItem, out isSharedItem)
                && (isSharedItem == getSharedItems))
            {
                itemIds.Add(itemid);
            }

            uint child;
            if (HierarchyUtilities.TryGetHierarchyProperty(hier, itemid, (int)__VSHPROPID.VSHPROPID_FirstChild, Unbox.AsUInt32, out child)
                && child != (uint)VSConstants.VSITEMID.Nil)
            {
                this.InspectHierarchyItems(hier, child, level + 1, itemIds, isSharedProject, printItems);

                while (HierarchyUtilities.TryGetHierarchyProperty(hier, child, (int)__VSHPROPID.VSHPROPID_NextSibling, Unbox.AsUInt32, out child)
                    && child != (uint)VSConstants.VSITEMID.Nil)
                {
                    this.InspectHierarchyItems(hier, child, level + 1, itemIds, isSharedProject, printItems);
                }
            }
        }

private void InspectHierarchyItems(IVsHierarchy hier, uint itemid, int level, List<uint> sharedItemIds)
{
    string caption = HierarchyUtilities.GetHierarchyProperty<string>(hier, itemid, (int)__VSHPROPID.VSHPROPID_Caption);
    output.OutputStringThreadSafe(string.Format("{0}{1}\n", new string('\t', level), caption));

    bool isSharedItem;
    if (HierarchyUtilities.TryGetHierarchyProperty(hier, itemid, (int)__VSHPROPID7.VSHPROPID_IsSharedItem, out isSharedItem)
        && isSharedItem)
    {
        sharedItemIds.Add(itemid);
    }

    uint child;
    if (HierarchyUtilities.TryGetHierarchyProperty(hier, itemid, (int)__VSHPROPID.VSHPROPID_FirstChild, Unbox.AsUInt32, out child)
        && child != (uint)VSConstants.VSITEMID.Nil)
    {
        this.InspectHierarchyItems(hier, child, level + 1, sharedItemIds);

         while (HierarchyUtilities.TryGetHierarchyProperty(hier, child,
             (int)__VSHPROPID.VSHPROPID_NextSibling, Unbox.AsUInt32, out child)
            && child != (uint)VSConstants.VSITEMID.Nil)
        {
            this.InspectHierarchyItems(hier, child, level + 1, sharedItemIds);
        }
    }
}

In the MenuItemCallback method, add the following code to walk the platform project hierarchy items. Insert it after the foreach block.

output.OutputStringThreadSafe("Walk the active platform project:\n");
var sharedItemIds = new List<uint>();
this.InspectHierarchyItems(activePlatformHier, (uint)VSConstants.VSITEMID.Root, 1, sharedItemIds, true, true);

Read the shared items. The shared items appear in the platform project as hidden linked files, and you can read all the properties as ordinary linked files. The following method reads the full path of the first shared item.

var sharedItemId = sharedItemIds[0];
string fullPath;
ErrorHandler.ThrowOnFailure(((IVsProject)activePlatformHier).GetMkDocument(sharedItemId, out fullPath));
output.OutputStringThreadSafe(string.Format("Shared item full path: {0}\n", fullPath));

Now try it out. Press F5 to launch the experimental instance. Create a C# universal hub app project in the experimental instance (in the New Project dialog box, Visual C# / Store Apps / Universal Apps / Hub App) go to the Tools menu and click My Command name, and then check the text in the Output pane. You should see something like the following:

Found shared project: HubApp.Shared
The active platform project: HubApp.Windows
Platform projects:
 * HubApp.Windows
 * HubApp.WindowsPhone
set active project: HubApp.WindowsPhone
Walk the active platform project:

Detecting changes in platform projects and shared projects

You can use hierarchy and project events to detect changes in shared projects, just as you can for platform projects. However, the project items in the shared project are not visible, which means that certain events do not fire when shared project items are changed.

Consider the sequence of events when a file in a project is renamed:
1. The file name is changed on disk.
2. The project file is updated to include the new name of the file.
Hierarchy events (for example, IVsHierarchyEvents) generally track the changes displayed in the UI, as in the Solution Explorer. Hierarchy events consider a file rename operation to consist of a file deletion and then a file addition. However, when invisible items are changed, the hierarchy event system fires an OnItemDeleted event but not an OnItemAdded event. Therefore, if you rename a file in a platform project, you get both OnItemDeleted and OnItemAdded, but if you rename a file in a shared project, you get only OnItemDeleted.

To track changes in project items, you can handle DTE project item events (the ones found in ProjectItemsEventsClass). However, if you are handling large numbers of events, you can get better performance handling the events in IVsTrackProjectDocuments2. In this walkthrough we show only the hierarchy events and the DTE events.In this procedure you add an event listener to a shared project and a platform project. Then, when you rename one file in a shared project and another file in a platform project, you can see the events that are fired for each rename operation.

In this procedure you add an event listener to a shared project and a platform project. Then, when you rename one file in a shared project and another file in a platform project, you can see the events that are fired for each rename operation.
Add an event listener. Add a new class file to the project and call it HierarchyEventListener.cs.

Open the HierarchyEventListener.cs file and add the following using statements:

using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio;
using System.IO;

Have the HierarchyEventListener class implement IVsHierarchyEvents:
```
class HierarchyEventListener : IVsHierarchyEvents
{ }
```

Implement the members of IVsHierarchyEvents, as in the code below.

class HierarchyEventListener : IVsHierarchyEvents
{
    private IVsHierarchy hierarchy;
    IVsOutputWindowPane output; 

    internal HierarchyEventListener(IVsHierarchy hierarchy, IVsOutputWindowPane outputWindow) {
         this.hierarchy = hierarchy;
         this.output = outputWindow;
    }

    int IVsHierarchyEvents.OnInvalidateIcon(IntPtr hIcon) {
        return VSConstants.S_OK;
    }

    int IVsHierarchyEvents.OnInvalidateItems(uint itemIDParent) {
        return VSConstants.S_OK;
    }

    int IVsHierarchyEvents.OnItemAdded(uint itemIDParent, uint itemIDSiblingPrev, uint itemIDAdded) {
        output.OutputStringThreadSafe("IVsHierarchyEvents.OnItemAdded: " + itemIDAdded + "\n");
        return VSConstants.S_OK;
    }

    int IVsHierarchyEvents.OnItemDeleted(uint itemID) {
        output.OutputStringThreadSafe("IVsHierarchyEvents.OnItemDeleted: " + itemID + "\n");
        return VSConstants.S_OK;
    }

    int IVsHierarchyEvents.OnItemsAppended(uint itemIDParent) {
        output.OutputStringThreadSafe("IVsHierarchyEvents.OnItemsAppended\n");
        return VSConstants.S_OK;
    }

    int IVsHierarchyEvents.OnPropertyChanged(uint itemID, int propID, uint flags) {
        output.OutputStringThreadSafe("IVsHierarchyEvents.OnPropertyChanged: item ID " + itemID + "\n");
        return VSConstants.S_OK;
    }
}

In the same class add another event handler for the DTE event ItemRenamed, which occurs whenever a project item is renamed.

public void OnItemRenamed(EnvDTE.ProjectItem projItem, string oldName)
{
    output.OutputStringThreadSafe(string.Format("[Event] Renamed {0} to {1} in project {2}\n",
         oldName, Path.GetFileName(projItem.get_FileNames(1)), projItem.ContainingProject.Name));
}

Sign up for the hierarchy events. You need to sign up separately for every project you are tracking. Add the following code in MenuItemCallback, one for the shared project, and the other for one of the platform projects.

// hook up the event listener for hierarchy events on the 
shared project
HierarchyEventListener listener1 = new HierarchyEventListener(sharedHier, output);
uint cookie1;
sharedHier.AdviseHierarchyEvents(listener1, out cookie1);

// hook up the event listener for hierarchy events on the 
active project
HierarchyEventListener listener2 = new HierarchyEventListener(activePlatformHier, output);
uint cookie2;
activePlatformHier.AdviseHierarchyEvents(listener2, out cookie2);

// hook up DTE events for project items
Events2 dteEvents = (Events2)dte.Events;
dteEvents.ProjectItemsEvents.ItemRenamed += listener1.OnItemRenamed;

Modify the shared item. You can’t modify shared items in a platform project; instead, you must modify them in the shared project that is the actual owner of these items. You can get the corresponding item ID in the shared project with IsDocumentInProject, giving it the shared item’s full path. Then you can modify the shared item. The change is propagated to the platform projects.

Important

You should find out whether or not a project item is a shared item before modifying it.

The following method modifies the name of a project item file.

private void ModifyFileNameInProject(IVsHierarchy project, string path)
{  
    int found;
    uint projectItemID;
    VSDOCUMENTPRIORITY[] priority = new VSDOCUMENTPRIORITY[1];
    if (ErrorHandler.Succeeded(((IVsProject)project).IsDocumentInProject(path, out found, priority, out projectItemID))
        && found != 0)
    {
        var name = DateTime.Now.Ticks.ToString() + Path.GetExtension(path);
        ErrorHandler.ThrowOnFailure(project.SetProperty(projectItemID, (int)__VSHPROPID.VSHPROPID_EditLabel, name));
        output.OutputStringThreadSafe(string.Format("Renamed {0} to {1}\n", path,name));
    }
}

Call this method in MenuItemCallback to modify the file name the item in the shared project. Insert this after the code that gets the full path of the item in the shared project.

// change the file name of an item in a shared project
var sharedItemIds = new List<uint>();
this.InspectHierarchyItems(activePlatformHier, (uint)VSConstants.VSITEMID.Root, 1, sharedItemIds, true, true);

uint sharedItemId = sharedItemIds[0];
string fullPath;
 ErrorHandler.ThrowOnFailure(((IVsProject)activePlatformHier).GetMkDocument(sharedItemId, out fullPath)); 
output.OutputStringThreadSafe(string.Format("Shared project item ID = {0}, full path = {1}\n", sharedItemId, fullPath));
this.ModifyFileNameInProject(sharedHier, fullPath);

Build and run the project. Create a C# universal hub app in the experimental instance, go to the Tools menu and click My Command name, and check the text in the general output pane. The name of the first item in the shared project (we expect it to be the App.xaml file) should be changed, and you should see that the ItemRenamed event has fired. In this case, since renaming App.xaml causes App.xaml.cs to be renamed as well, you should see four events (two for each platform project). (DTE events do not track the items in the shared project.) You should see two OnItemDeleted events (one for each of platform projects), but no OnItemAdded events.

Now try renaming a file in a platform project, and you can see the difference in the events that get fired. Add the following code after the call to ModifyFileName.

// change the file name of an item in a platform project
var unsharedItemIds = new List<uint>();
this.InspectHierarchyItems(activePlatformHier, (uint)VSConstants.VSITEMID.Root, 1, unsharedItemIds, false, false);

var unsharedItemId = unsharedItemIds[0];
string unsharedPath;
ErrorHandler.ThrowOnFailure(((IVsProject)activePlatformHier).GetMkDocument(unsharedItemId, out unsharedPath));
output.OutputStringThreadSafe(string.Format("Platform project item ID = {0}, full path = {1}\n", unsharedItemId, unsharedPath));

this.ModifyFileNameInProject(activePlatformHier, unsharedPath);

Build and run the project. Create a C# Universal Project in the experimental instance, go to the Tools menu and click My Command name, and check the text in the general output pane. After the file in the platform project is renamed, you should see both an OnItemAdded event and an OnItemDeleted event. Since changing the file caused no other files to be changed, and since changes to items in a platform project don't get propagated anywhere, there is only one each of these events.
