Syntax

'Declaration

bool Saved { get; set; }

property bool Saved {
    bool get ();

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the object has not been modified since last being saved or opened; otherwise, false. The default is true.

Examples

For information on how to run this add-in code, see How to: Compile and Run the Automation Object Model Code Examples.

The following example displays the Saved state of an open solution.

Public Sub OnConnection(ByVal application As Object, _
 ByVal connectMode As ext_ConnectMode, ByVal addInInst As Object, _
 ByRef custom As Array) Implements IDTExtensibility2.OnConnection
    _applicationObject = CType(application, DTE2)
    _addInInstance = CType(addInInst, AddIn)
    PropertiesExample(_applicationObject)
End Sub

Sub PropertiesExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)
    ' This add-in sets and gets the Saved status of a solution.
    ' Open a solution in Visual Studio before 
    ' running this example.
    Try
        Dim soln As Solution2 =  _
        CType(_applicationObject.Solution, Solution2)
        Dim solnName As String = _
        System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(soln.FullName)
        MsgBox(solnName & " has the following Saved status: "  _
        & soln.Saved.ToString())
        MsgBox("Setting the Saved status to False")
        soln.Saved = False
            MsgBox(solnName & " now has the following Saved status: " & soln.Saved.ToString())
    Catch ex As System.Exception
        MsgBox(ex.ToString)
    End Try
End Sub

using System.Windows.Forms;
public void OnConnection(object application,
 Extensibility.ext_ConnectMode connectMode, object addInInst,
 ref System.Array custom)
{
    _applicationObject = (DTE2)application;
    _addInInstance = (AddIn)addInInst;
    // Pass the applicationObject member variable to the code example.
    ProjectExample((DTE2)_applicationObject);
}

public void ProjectExample(DTE2 dte)
{
    // This add-in gets and sets the Saved status of a solution. 
    // Open a solution in 
    // Visual Studio before running this example.
    try
    {
        Solution2 soln = (Solution2)_applicationObject.Solution;
        string solnName = 
System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(soln.FullName);
        MessageBox.Show(solnName + " has the following Saved status: "
 + soln.Saved.ToString());
        MessageBox.Show("Setting the Saved status to false...");
        soln.Saved = false;
        MessageBox.Show(solnName + 
" now has the following Saved status: " + soln.Saved.ToString());
    }
    catch(SystemException ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("ERROR: " + ex);
    }
