Hi,

I need to use environment variables in the reference path. Changing the file
in an editor is not a good solution since every time I save the project file
inside Visual Studio it expands the reference path and removes my environment
variables again(only C++ projects).

I'm trying to write an addin to Visual studio that alters the project file
(.csproj, .vsproj) when the file is saved. When my addin has altered and
saved the file, Visual Studio displays a dialog telling me that the project
is altered outside of the environment.

Is there another way of changing the reference path withour getting this
annoying dialog? I know there is a setting in the options dialog, but I don't
want to turn this refresh dialog of completely.

Any suggestions?

Hi Kai,

According to your description, I understand that you want to know whether
or not there is a way of changing the reference path without getting
warning dailog. Please don't hesitate to correct me, if I have
misunderstand anything here.

Hi,

My main problem is that I need to use environement variables in the assembly
reference path. To solve this I've written an addin that changes the hintpath
in the project file(.csproj). When my addin saves the file, Visual Studio
displays a warning dialog.
What I'm wondering about is:
1. Is there a way to override this warning dialog?
2. If not, is there another way of setting environment variables as the
assembly reference hintpath?

Hi Kai,
Thanks for your reply.

I have searched on the internet these days, but I'm afraid the only way to
change the .csproj file without the warning dialog is the setting in option
dialog of VS (Detect when file is changed outside the environment).

I noticed VS saved the .csproj file when we closed this application. For
this reason the warning dialog will not appear if we changed reference in
VS. But if we change this file manually or by any other method, VS always
can detect this change and prompt a dialog (reload or cancel).

I also tried to achieve this by Macro. But it seems we cannot change the
path of reference. For these reason, if you don't want to get the warning
dialog, you should have to change the setting of option. I'm afraid there
is no other way to avoid these so far. I apologize for this.

Please feel free to reply me if there is anything we can help with. I'm
very glad to work with you.
Sincerely,
Wen Yuan
