    Changing project properties programmatically

    Hi,

    I've created a custom component. I want one of the properties of my
    custom component to be the output file name which is found in project
    properties. I know that I can get this by writing a macro, but I
    would prefer doing this in my component's constructor.

    Currently I am trying to use ActiveSolutionP rojects in the EnvDTE
    object to obtain the active project but it always returns an empty
    object.

    Does anyone know how I can get the current project output file name
    without using a macro?

    Thanks,
    Fred

      Hi Fred

      Is your component an AddIn? how are you getting the EnvDTE object?

      If you run the same code as a macro do you get an object back?

      Another way to get to the projects is by using the EnvDTE.Solution .Projects property.
