Hi,

I created a plug-in that is used to modify the current source file in
VS2005. When the plug-in terminates I expectedly receive the VS2005 message,
"This file has been modified outside the source editor."

I would really like to suppress this message and instead automatically
reload the file for the user. Does anyone know how to do this? I restored
the original date/time stamp on the file but VS2005 picks up the change
regardless of the file date/time stamp. Maybe it's using a file watcher?
Maybe it's just magic.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Bill

Hi Bill,

Maybe your plug-in should use the automation model to modify the file inside
the IDE, are you actually modifying it outside it? If so, there is no reload
method in the automation model but there are Close methods in the
EnvDTE.Window and EnvDTE.Document classes (with a parameter to save/discard
changes) and a ProjectItem.Open(view) method which returns an EnvDTE.Window
which you have to set to Visible = True. My MZ-Tools add-in (below) has a
Reload Document feature so it can be done...

Best regards,
