Hello,

I am try to add localhost web site to current solution. I am writing VS 2005 addin project. My web site doesnt contains a project
file, only a folder. Manually add existing web site, working fine.

How to add programmically?

Project proj = _dte.Solution.AddFromFile("http://localhost/WebSite1/", false);
doesnt work.

Please help.

Thanks

Hi Zafer,

Welcome to MSDN newsgroup.
As for the Adding Website (project) into VS2005 solution, we can not use
the AddFromFile method of the ENVDTE.Solution class. Because the ASP.NET
2.0 project for vs2005 is projectless( no project file). To add website
application, we need to use the AddFromTemplate method, the first parameter
present the ProjectTemplate file, we can use the
Solution.GetProjectTemplate method to get the vstemplate file for website
application. For example:

===============
Sub AddWebSite()

Dim dte2 As EnvDTE80.DTE2
Dim sln2 As Solution2
Dim proj As EnvDTE.Project

Dim tmpFile As String

dte2 = DTE
sln2 = dte2.Solution

tmpFile = sln2.GetProjectTemplate("WebApplication.zip", "Web")

proj = sln2.AddFromTemplate(tmpFile,
"C:\users\stcheng\workspace\Whidbey\WebSites\DemoSite", "DemoSite", False)

MsgBox("done")

End Sub
==============================

#you can find those projects template files under vs2005 program folder,
e.g:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\Web\CSharp\1033

Also, when adding an existing webproject, calling the AddFromTemplate will
popup dialog to ask for creating new or open existing project, choose open
existing one to add the existing project into current solution......

Hope helps. Thanks,

Thank You!

I will always use the existing web project option so is it possible to prevent popup dialog from being shown?

Regards,
Zafer

Thanks for your response Zafer,

As for suppress the popup dialog, IMO it will be hard to do that since the
steps are determined by the vstemplate and that template is used for both
creating and add existing one.... Anyway, I'll consult some other VS IDE
experts to see whether there is any other means to achieve this... I'll
update you as soon as possible.

Thanks for your patience,

Hi Zafer,

I've got the answer for your question from our VS IDE developers, here is
the updated AddWEbSite and RemoveWebSite method:

===================================
Sub AddWebSite()
Dim dte2 As EnvDTE80.DTE2
Dim sln2 As Solution2
Dim proj As EnvDTE.Project
Dim tmpFile As String
Dim webPackage As VsWebSite.VSWebPackage
Dim webSites As Projects

Dim sitepath As String =
"http://localhost/StevenRoot/Whidbey/WebSites/IISSite/"

dte2 = DTE
sln2 = dte2.Solution
webPackage = dte2.GetObject("WebPackage")

proj = webPackage.OpenWebSite(sitepath,
VsWebSite.OpenWebsiteOptions.OpenWebsiteOption_None, True)

MsgBox("done")

End Sub

Sub RemoveWebSite()

Dim dte2 As EnvDTE80.DTE2
Dim sln2 As Solution2
Dim proj As EnvDTE.Project
Dim tmpFile As String
Dim webPackage As VsWebSite.VSWebPackage
Dim webSites As Projects

Dim sitepath As String =
"http://localhost/StevenRoot/Whidbey/WebSites/IISSite/"

dte2 = DTE
sln2 = dte2.Solution
webPackage = dte2.GetObject("WebPackage")

webSites = dte2.GetObject("WebSites")

proj = webSites.Item(sitepath)

sln2.Remove(proj)

MsgBox("done")
End Sub
==================================

Also, to use the WebSite related object and collection, you need to add a
reference to the following assembly to have access to the VsWebSite
namespace:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies\VsWebSite.Interop.dll

You can easily add the reference through VS 2005's Macro IDE....

Hope helps. Thanks,
