Examples

Sub SolutionBuildExample()  
  ' Build the solution configuration.  
  Dim sb As SolutionBuild = DTE.Solution.SolutionBuild  
  sb.SolutionConfigurations.Item("MyConfig").Activate  
  sb.Build  
End Sub  

Remarks

The SolutionBuild object provides access to all of the solution configurations and their properties, the project build dependencies, and startup projects.

The counterpart to the SolutionBuild object at the project and item level is the ConfigurationManager object.

Properties

ActiveConfiguration

Gets the currently active SolutionConfiguration object.

BuildDependencies

Gets a BuildDependencies collection that allows you to specify which projects depend on which other projects.

BuildState

Gets whether a build has ever been started in the current environment session, whether a build is currently in progress, or whether a build has been completed.

DTE

Gets the top-level extensibility object.

LastBuildInfo

Gets the number of projects that failed to build.

Parent

Gets the immediate parent object of a SolutionBuild object.

SolutionConfigurations

Gets a collection of SolutionConfiguration object.

StartupProjects

Gets or sets the names of projects that are entry points for the application.
