Examples

To run this example as an add-in, see How to: Compile and Run the Automation Object Model Code Examples.

To determine if a Visual Basic or a Visual C# project is a smart device project, use the prjKindSDEVBProject and prjKindSDECSharpProject.

Remarks

Project is a core extensibility object that can contain information about projects of any language. The Object property of the Project object returns an object whose type depends on the project language used. In the case of Visual Basic and Visual C#, that object is a VSProject2 object.

The Object property returns an Object data type. The data object returned by the Object property may then be explicitly converted to VSProject2. The example below demonstrates this conversion using the CType function. The PrjKind is used to test for the project's type before the conversion.
