Getting all projects inside loaded solution with EnvDTE

Question

Hi all,

I want run code anlysis to all the projects in the current solution without checking run-on-build option in the project properties because running CA is slow and makes the build longer than usual.

The only option I have in Visual Studio 2010 is to select every project in the solution:

right click -> run code analysis.

I want to create an addin\extension that does the following:

• for each project enabled code analysis on build
• compile solution
• for each project disable code analysis on build

I'm looking for a piece of code that will gives me all projects inside a loaded solution using EnvDTE.

My solution is complex, it contains solutions-folders within solution-folders, C++\C# \Modling projects.

Also, when I get the item (UIHierarchyItem object) is there a way to get the project object so I perfom the following: Project.ConfigurationManager.ActiveConfiguration.Properties.Item("RunCodeAnalysis").Value = "True"

also, does anyone know a tool that maybe can help me instead of writing my own..?

Thanks,

Roy

Answer 1

While creating an extension or macro to do this would certainly be possible, have you considered simply creating an additional build configuration instead?  I have used this approach for several years now, and it works quite well.  For example, my "Debug" build builds in debug mode and runs code analysis.  However, I also have a "Debug (No FxCop)" build that compiles in debug mode without running code analysis.

Hi Roy,

Maybe this sample code will help you:
