I need to get the name of the solution from my wizard that implements IWizard.

I've tried to use:
string name = dte.Solution.FullName;

...but it returns an empty string. Is there some way to do this except
parsing the path of the project?

Hi Mattias,

Solution.FullName may return "" in the following cases:

- If there is no solution loaded (although DTE.Solution never returns null,
always return an instance and you can use Solution.IsOpen to know if there
is a solution loaded or not).

- If the solution is not saved yet. This is the case of temporary solutions
of VS 2005

Are you in one of those cases? What kind of wizard are you using (Project /
ProjecItem / Custom ?)

Best regards,

Hi again,

I have a .vstemplate file with the type "ProjectGroup". The wizard is
started from this file. The runKind parameter has the value "AsMultiProject"
(in the method RunStarted).

I'm trying to get the name of the solution from the RunFinished() method.

I just found out that I can get it from:
((SolutionClass)dte.Solution).Properties.Item("Name").Value

Regards,
Mattias
