output file path from a build

output file path from a build

  The OutputPath is actually a property of the project.
  
  Have you seen the ProjectConfigurationProperties interfaces The ProjectConfigurationProperties3 members can be found http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vslangproj80.projectconfigurationproperties3_members.aspx
  and it has the outputpath as one of its properties.

  From your question it is not clear whether you have your own project type using the MPF Project base classes or you are getting the interface from one of the language projects (C#/VB). Assuming it is not you own project I would use the automarion model to get to the output path for the active configuration. e.g.

  EnvDTE.Project project = ....

  EnvDTE.Configuration activeConfig = project.ConfigurationManager.ActiveConfiguration

  string outputpath = activeConfig.Properties.Item("OutputPath").Value.ToString()

  string outputFileName = project.Properties.Item("OutputFileName").Value.ToString()

  string fullPath = Path.Combine(outputPath,outputFileName)

  You have two choices. One is to get the output groups for the item, find the built output group, then find the first output. You could also use the automation model. The following macro will show how to do it:

  Public Sub FindOutputDirectory()

  Dim proj As Project

  Dim config As Configuration

  proj = DTE.Solution.Projects.Item(1)

  config = proj.ConfigurationManager.Item(1)

  MsgBox(System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(proj.FullName) + "\" + config.Properties.Item("OutputPath").Value + proj.Properties.Item("AssemblyName").Value + ".exe")

  End Sub
