Hi,

for a Visual Studion 2005 Add In i need to access the currently selected
project. I have don this by the following code line:

DTE2 dte2 = (DTE2) Marshal.GetActiveObject("VisualStudio.DTE.8.0");
Project project = dte2.ActiveDocument.ProjectItem.ContainingProject;

My problem is that some times DTE2#ActiveDocument is null. I don't not
understand why this happens. What I need is a relable way to find the
seleted/active project of the solution.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Carsten

Hi Carsten,

maybe this might help:

System.Array solObjects = (Array)
applicationObject.ActiveSolutionProjects;
if (solObjects.Length < 1)
return; // No open project

Project project = (Project) solObjects.GetValue(0); // Mostly there is
only one entry in the array

The applicationObject is of Type _DTE and must be stored somewhere, while
the OnConnection method of the Connect class is running.

Best Regards
Mirko
