.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Extensibility / October 2006How do you get a list of projects that are going to be compiled?
I work on a very large VS2005 solution which has over 75 with mixed C++ and C# VS doesn't give you much information about what it is doing durring a big compile like this. So we've created a AddIn to provide information in the status bar with more detailed build information. The following is an exmaple of our status bar data --- Progress - 2 Build Trees - Building Project 2, 5 of 75 - Module Name1 , Module Name2 --- Currently my Addin is using _DTE.Solution.SolutionBuild.BuildDependencies.Count; to get the total number of project to be compiled. However this simply returns the total number of projects in a solution. What I really need is the total projects needed for this build. For example, if I right click a project and select Build there may be only 20 dependant projects compiled. Under this situation my progress bar is in error and I would like to correct this. Please let me know if you have any ideas!.. Thanks, Christopher BigHammer Software I have not tested it, but the BuildDependencies has an enumerator and a Item(index) property to return BuildDependency objects, and each BuildDependency object has a Project and RequiredProjects properties. So, given an project, you could know its dependencies. On the other hand, EnvDTE.BuildEvents should give information about which Solution/Projects are going to be build.

How do I find the project this is the primary focus of this build? that is the real question.. The EnvDTE.BuildEvents tell me the answer after the build is complete. But that isn't a very nice progress bar... You're supposed to predict the number of steps up front, not just announce that you're done. If there are any more ideas I would love to hear them.

Christopher I'm interested in a similar topic. Carlos, I think you are misunderstanding. Knowing that something is about to be compiled the instant before it is compiled is not useful in this instance. I (I belive DrZogg also) want to know what projects will be compiled at the beginning of the entire build process.

Then with that information we can walk along the dependency tree and calculate the total number of projects that need to be built. Could this work?
