HI,

I was unable to find documentation for the "DTE.Documents.Open" method in
msdn!
Is this the method to invoke if i want to open a new file in the environment??
(the file is not necessarily a solution item, i want to open an xml file in
the environment from a command on the addin).

Regards,
nabeel moeen

Hi Nabeel,

I don't recommend using that Open method. The documentation indicates it's
for MS internal use only. It would probably be better for you to use the
DTE.ItemOperations.OpenFile method.

Calling the following code throws a "parameter is incorrect" exception

applicationObject.ItemOperations.OpenFile(fileName,
Constants.vsViewKindTextView);
