Hello,

I am currently trying to write a macro which will be able to detect
which projects and configurations are being built within a solution in
order to produce an estimation of the time left.

At present, the only method I am aware of is to us the
DTE.Solution.Count to detect the number of projects within the
solution, and then use
DTE.Solution.Item(...).ConfigurationManager.Count to detect the number
of configurations for each project. (See below)

By using this method I am able to retrieve the total number of builds
required for the complete solution.  However, it would be preferable to
detect the number of projects and configurations which have been
selected to be built.

Is there a way to detect the number of build/rebuild/clean events which
are going to be performed by looking at which projects and
configurations have been selected?  Also, is it possible to
differentiate between a build event and a batch build event?

Thanks in advance for any help I receive! J

sol = DTE.Solution
For i = 1 To sol.Count
 'Look for a valid project
 If sol.Item(i).FullName <> "" Then
    counter = counter + sol.Item(i).ConfigurationManager.Count()

(counter is the number of builds which are going to be performed)
