Getting the path of the solution

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to programatically retrieve the physical path on which my solution is located.

I do this in the following manner:

DTE vs = this.GetService<DTE>(true);

string solutionPath = (string)vs.Solution.Properties.Item("Path").Value;

This doesn't seem to work, because the return value I get in solutionPath = "C:\", while the actual path is a couple of folders deeper than the C:\ disk.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Nocto

Hi Nocto,

Try using vs.Solution.FullName which contains the solution full path.
