Assembly: EnvDTE (in EnvDTE.dll)
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | 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. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Build(Boolean) | Causes the active solution configuration to begin building. |
![]() | BuildProject(String^, String^, Boolean) | Builds the specified project and its dependencies in the context of the specified solution configuration. |
![]() | Clean(Boolean) | Deletes all compiler-generated support files for marked projects. |
![]() | Debug() | Starts debugging the solution. |
![]() | Deploy(Boolean) | Causes each project in the active solution configuration that is marked for deployment to deploy. |
![]() | Run() | Causes the active solution configuration to execute. |
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.
Sub SolutionBuildExample() ' Build the solution configuration. Dim sb As SolutionBuild = DTE.Solution.SolutionBuild sb.SolutionConfigurations.Item("MyConfig").Activate sb.Build End Sub
