I am currently designing an extender which needs to save a file in the
project location. Any ideas on how I retrieve the project location at
designtime from a component?

Hi

try something like this:

EnvDTE.ProjectItem item =
(EnvDTE.ProjectItem)this.Site.GetService(typeof(EnvDTE.ProjectItem));

string path =
(string)((System.Array)item.DTE.Solution.SolutionBuild.StartupProjects).GetV
alue(0);

It will need also some processing...

Wouldn't that require that the provider assembly references the EnvDTE
assembly (a designtime assembly) which in turn is referenced by the
project?

In others word won't I have a reference to a designtime assembly which
will carry over into runtime.

Is it possible to get the project name at design time without
referencing assemblies that will carry over into runtime?

It is not difficult to get the project name(assembly name) at runtime,
but I find it difficult getting it at designtime.
