SolutionBuild2 Interface
Represents the root of the build automation model at the solution level.
Assembly: EnvDTE80 (in EnvDTE80.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. |
![]() | LastPublishInfo | Gets the number of items that were successfully published. |
![]() | Parent | Gets the immediate parent object of a SolutionBuild object. |
![]() | PublishState | Gets the state of a publish operation. |
![]() | SolutionConfigurations | Gets a collection of SolutionConfiguration objects. |
![]() | 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. |
![]() | DeployProject(String, String, Boolean) | Deploys a project. |
![]() | Publish(Boolean) | Initiates a publish operation. |
![]() | PublishProject(String, String, Boolean) | Publishes a project. |
![]() | Run() | Causes the active solution configuration to execute. |
The SolutionBuild object provides access to all 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.
This example sets the first solution configurations item to "release" and then builds the solution. Open a project in the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE) before running this example.
using EnvDTE; using EnvDTE80; using System.Windows.Forms; public void SolutionBuild2BuildExample(DTE2 dte) { try { Solution2 soln = (Solution2)_applicationObject.Solution; SolutionBuild2 sb; BuildDependencies bld; // Open a solution in Visual Studio before // running this example. sb = (SolutionBuild2)soln.SolutionBuild; bld = sb.BuildDependencies; MessageBox.Show("The project " + bld.Item(1).Project.Name + " has " + bld.Count.ToString() + " build dependencies."); MessageBox.Show("Set the configuration to release and build..."); sb.SolutionConfigurations.Item("Release").Activate(); sb.Build(true); } catch (Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show(ex.Message); } }
