Get the filename of my current file with my specific extension

Question

Hey

I'm trying to get the current filename of my open file with my specific extension (.ldx) which I created. I need the filename to send it to my T4 template as a parameter.

 

I already tried the solution of the following thread but I get an exception:
- http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-MY/dslvsarchx/thread/83e86a13-e9b4-4e15-bac2-4ae9c6b2ba35

 

Is there an other way to get the current filename?

Answer 1

At what point are you calling that method? From the exception, it looks like the file hasn't been loaded yet.

Answer 2

If your file has already been loaded. Only two domain models have been loaded. I'm afraid that the CoreDesignSurfaceDomainModel is not in the game.

To load your model, Did you use LoadModel method ? If yes, you cannot use diagrams to get the filename.

And, can you confirm that you host your model in Visual Studio (and not in a third party application as wpf application) ?

Answer 3

Hi,

 

Maybe you could try in T4 the ResolvePath method :
