Changing project properties programmaticall y

Hi,

I've created a custom component. I want one of the properties of my
custom component to be the output file name which is found in project
properties. I know that I can get this by writing a macro, but I
would prefer doing this in my component's constructor.

Currently I am trying to use ActiveSolutionP rojects in the EnvDTE
object to obtain the active project but it always returns an empty
object.

Does anyone know how I can get the current project output file name
without using a macro?

Thanks,
Fred

Hi Fred

Is your component an AddIn? how are you getting the EnvDTE object?

If you run the same code as a macro do you get an object back?

Another way to get to the projects is by using the EnvDTE.Solution .Projects property.

I'm working with VS.NET 2003 and .NET 1.1 (not SP1) on Windows XP SP1. My application is using the Windows Installer Bootstrap.

I have a few issues and questions regarding the MSI and its properties. * This may be my biggest annoyance at the moment. When the installer creates the target directory, it's setting them as read-only. When the...

Hi, I am trying to create an installer for my web application. So I added a web setup project to my solution (I am using VS.NET 2003). Been playing around with it since then and it basically works.

Hi, I want to change the default installation folder to my own path. I did it by changing the application folder's DefaultLocation property. The installation works fine as long the path that I give is complete path. If I give relative path, there is an error. The path is relative to the location of my solution folder. Just to be more clear, I have several projects in my solution. The setup project contains one executable as the primary...
