有没有办法使用ENVDTE选择项目？

Question

I want to add a Service reference to a project using ENVDTE. The only way is by the following command which pops up the Add service Reference window:

_applicationObject.ExecuteCommand("Project.AddServiceReference", string.Empty);

But this command will work only on currently selected project. Is there a way to select a particular project where the service reference is to be added?

DTE2.SelectedProjects has no way to select a project, it only helps to retrieve selected projects.

Answer 1

You have to navigate through the solution tree like this :

var se = _applicationObject.ToolWindows.SolutionExplorer;  
var proj = se.GetItem("PathToYourProject");
proj.Select(vsUISelectionType.vsUISelectionTypeSelect);

After you launch your command.

PathToYourProject is a "pseudo" XPath. If you're workging in a project called "Project" in a solution called "Solution" your path will be : "Solution\\Project"

Take care if your project is in a solution folder. It's a little bit more tricky. You have to expand solution folder like this :

var solutionFolder = se.GetItem("PathToYourSolutionFolder");
if (!solutionFolder .UIHierarchyItems.Expanded)
{
    solutionFolder .UIHierarchyItems.Expanded = true;
}

Then you retrieve and select your project by this way :

var proj = solutionFolder .UIHierarchyItems.Item("ProjectName");
proj.Select(vsUISelectionType.vsUISelectionTypeSelect);

Finally, I'm not sure, but you may have to select the "Service References" node of your project before to launch the command.
