EnvDTE - add file to project silently

Question

I am using EnvDTE to add projects and files to existing solution. I do it like that:

SolutionFolder folder = GetExistingSolutionFolder(folderTree);
if(folder != null)
    folder.Parent.ProjectItems.AddFromFile(filePath);

Nevermind the GetExistingSolutionFolder. It all works. But... When I try to add.docx file to solution, it is indeed added, but it is also opened in MsWord. And when I add.rc file to solution, it is checked against files that are provided inside rc file. If there is no file on the disk, a message is thrown.

So, my question is - can I somehow add the files silently? Without automaticaly open docx in MsWord or not checking rc files?

Answer 1

According to your description, you want to add.doc file in the project sliently.

I recommend you to use Microsoft.build.

You can try the following code to solve this problem.

    var p = new Microsoft.Build.Evaluation.Project(projectpath);
    p.AddItem("Compile", filepath);
    p.Save();

First, you need to add the Microsoft.build.

Second, projectpath should be like: D:\Test\TestAdditem\ConsoleApp1\ConsoleApp1.csproj .

Third, you can see the following result.
