Solution3.Item Method

Returns an indexed member of a Projects collection.

Namespace:  EnvDTE90
Assembly:  EnvDTE90 (in EnvDTE90.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Function Item ( _
    index As Object _
) As Project
Project Item(
    Object index
)
Project^ Item(
    [InAttribute] Object^ index
)
abstract Item : 
        index:Object -> Project
function Item(
    index : Object
) : Project

Parameters

Return Value

Type: EnvDTE.Project
A Project object.

Remarks

The value passed to Index is an integer that is an index to an object in its collection. The value of Index can also be a string value that equates to an object in the collection. The exact value that is accepted by Item, though, depends upon the collection and its implementation.

The Item method throws a ArgumentException exception if the collection cannot find the object that corresponds to the index value.
