How to get the path of a project using EnvDTE

Question

Big picture: I am working on an Extension Tools for Visual Studio 2015. Currently I have a Member Finder windows form responsible to display all the Methods and Properties inside a project.

Problem I also need to display the physical path of the files containing the Members And starting from the Project name. I have searched and figured out that this could be achievable using the library of EnvDTE. I have also worked on the library but unfortunately could not manage the issue. Here is a picture of the Member Finder window which needs the path the member at the end of the each list box item.

Member Finder Without a Path

Any idea kindly appreciated.

Using the automation model (EnvDTE) you can get the file name with path of an EnvDTE.Project using:

• EnvDTE.Project.FullName
• In some cases (WebSite projects) using the EnvDTE.Project.Properties collection, with a property name "FullPath".
