Examples

See How to: Compile Example Code for Project Model Extensibility for information about how to compile and run this example.

The following example modifies the LibraryDirectories property in the integrated development environment (IDE):

' add reference to Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine  
Imports EnvDTE  
Imports Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine  

Public Module Module1  
    Sub Test()  
        Dim prj As VCProject  
        Dim cfgs, tools As IVCCollection  
        Dim cfg As VCConfiguration  
        Dim p As VCPlatform  
        Dim x As String  
        prj = DTE.Solution.Projects.Item(1).Object  
        p = prj.Platforms(1)  
        x = p.LibraryDirectories  
        p.LibraryDirectories = x + ";something"  
        MsgBox(p.LibraryDirectories)  
    End Sub  
End Module  

Remarks

By default in Visual C++ 2010, this property does not inherit from parent or project defaults. To inherit defaults when you set an library files path, append the project $(LibraryPath) macro to the path. For an example of inheriting project defaults for a property similar to this one, see the remarks and example for ExcludeDirectories.
