	bool Exclusive = false
)

Parameters

FileName: Type: System::String^
Required. The full path and file name of the project file.

Exclusive: Type: System::Boolean
Optional. Indicates whether the project loads in the current solution or its own; true if the current solution is closed and the project is added to a new solution, false if the project is added to the existing open solution.

Remarks

You can use the LaunchWizard method rather than AddFromFile to execute a wizard if you want to suppress its UI during execution. LaunchWizard has a parameter that allows you to disable the UI.

Examples

Sub AddFromFileExample()
   ' This function creates a solution and adds a Visual Basic Console
   ' project to it. 
   Dim soln As Solution

   ' Create a reference to the solution.
   soln = DTE.Solution

   ' Create a new solution.
   soln.Create("c:\temp2", "MyNewSolution")
   ' Add an existing project to the new solution.
   soln.AddFromFile("c:\temp\SomeProj.vbproj")
End Sub
