I have created a Flavored project, and have subscribed to
IVsHierarchyEvents.

When the OnItemAdded event is fired, I am inspecting the file that was
just added via the itemId passed in, and if it is a file I am interested
in, I would like to add additional properties to this nodes item in the
project file. I use the IVsBuildPropertyStorage::SetItemAttribute()
member, however if I try to do call during the OnItemAdded event, it
does not persist anything and returns E_FAIL.

I know the itemId is correct, because during the OnItemAdded event, I
call IVsProject::GetMkDocument on the same itemId and it returns the
file path.

Why would this be failing, and how would I go about updating the project
file when this item is added?

Cheers,

Stuart

Also, is there a way when an item is added to the IVsHierarchy of my
Flavored project, I can override the item type it is created as or do I
have to use the Automation model and do it after it has been added?

Example, rather than my xml document being added to the project as
<ItemGroup>
<None Include="my.myxml" />
</ItemGroup>

can I hook the IVsHierarchy somehow, so it is automatically added as,
with additional data

<ItemGroup>
<MyXml Include="my.myxml">
<Data1>MyExtraData</Data1>
</MyXml>
</ItemGroup>

Cheers,

Stu
