Examples
See How to: Compile Example Code for Project Model Extensibility for information about how to compile and run this example.
The following example modifies the compiler's PreprocessorDefinitions property in the integrated development environment (IDE):
[Visual Basic]
' add reference to Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine
Imports EnvDTE
Imports Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine
Public Module Module1
Sub Test()
Dim prj As VCProject
Dim cfgs, tools As IVCCollection
Dim cfg As VCConfiguration
Dim tool As VCCLCompilerTool
Dim oldDefs As String
prj = DTE.Solution.Projects.Item(1).Object
cfgs = prj.Configurations
cfg = cfgs.Item(1)
tool = cfg.Tools("VCCLCompilerTool")
oldDefs = tool.PreprocessorDefinitions
tool.PreprocessorDefinitions = "_TEST;" + oldDefs
MsgBox(tool.PreprocessorDefinitions)
End Sub
End Module
Remarks
PreprocessorDefinitions exposes the functionality of the compiler's /D (Preprocessor Definitions) option, the MIDL compiler's MIDL Property Pages: General option, and the Resource Compiler's Resources Property Pages option.
