Hi,

Does anyone know how you can determine which type a project file in the
solution is? For example i have a C# Class Library, an ASP.NET 2.0 Website
and a VB.NET Class Library and I would like to differentiate between these
three.

I think the "Kind" property might hold this information but I couldnt find
any documentation of what all the different GUID's mean. Is there a
structure with translations for these GUID values?

Cheers,

David

You have some project GUIDs defined in VSLangProj.dll assembly, PrjKind
class. Others in VSLangProj2.dll assembly, PrjKind2 class. And you will have
to define others by hand.

About the Windows/Web distinction, you have to use
Project.Properties("Type") (IIRC) and compare to VSLangProj.prjProjectType
(Local/Web values).

Finally, you can distinguish a Web Site ASP.NET 2.0 because Project.Object
returns a VSWebSite object (VSWebSite.Interop assembly).
