如何从dte获取到exe文件夹的项目路径

Question

I write a Visual Studio Extension (Vsix).

What I have done so far:

1. I have a console app which display a generated string when is executed
2. The Console App is being running from my plugin. -> i need that path to start process in different way to get output from the console.

I need to find current running external project path to exe.

My code:

  private void Execute(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        ThreadHelper.ThrowIfNotOnUIThread();

        // This runs my external console application
        dte.Solution.SolutionBuild.Run();

        Path.GetDirectoryName(dte.Solution.FullName);
        Project prj = dte.Solution.Projects.Item(1);
        string  msg2, msg3 = "";
        msg2 = prj.DTE.FullName;
        msg3 = prj.DTE.FileName;
      
    }

Currently project which runs application is devenv.exe so:

Path.GetDirectoryName(dte.Solution.FullName) = "D:\\user\\proj\\projName\\Docs\\App\\AppName"

I need path to exe..

msg2, msg3 = "D:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2019\\Community\\Common7\\IDE\\devenv.exe"

Do you have any hints?

Answer 1

Maybe you could use ProcessModule.ModuleName to get the full path of current process.

I create a visual studio extension with a menu command, and add this code into Execute method

        private void Execute(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            ThreadHelper.ThrowIfNotOnUIThread();

           

            string message = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainModule.FileName;

            string title = "Command1";

           

            ...

        }

The result:
