Project GUID

 

How can i access the guid of the projects that are open in my solution. The guid i am on about are the ones that are in eth csproj (or

• Hello,

   

  That snippet can be used for your custom project:

   

  Code Snippet

   

  private Guid GetProjectGuid()

  {

      string projectGuid = GetProjectProperty(ProjectFileConstants.ProjectGuid);

      return new Guid(projectGuid);

  }

   

   

   

  If you dig into base classes code, you will find that it uses Microsoft.Build.BuldEngine classes. Maybe that you are able to use them as well. But I believe that much more easier to use DTE object for that. Review this thread for the way how property can be retrieved using DTE: Retrieving Project's $(OutDir) from an VS Automation Macro. I think getting ProjectGuid property should be similar.

   

  Hope that helps

  I have dug around in the DTE object but i cannot seem to find how to get the project guid. I have iterated through the solution properties, the project properties and the project configuration properties with no success. Are there any other properties it may be stored in?

  You will need to go into the VS SDK to get the GUID. First, given an EnvDTE.Project object, call UniqueName. The QueryService for the SVsSolution/IVsSolution service/interface. Next, call IVsSolution::GetProjectOfUniqueName which will return the IVsHierarchy. Finally, call IVsSolution::GetGuidOfProject passing in the IVsHierarchy. This will return to you the GUID in a string.
