Examples

[Visual Basic]

The following example code modifies the VCPreLinkEventTool object's ExcludedFromBuild property in the development environment:

' add reference to Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine
Imports EnvDTE
Imports Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine

Public Module Module1
    Sub Test()
        Dim prj As VCProject
        Dim cfgs, tools As IVCCollection
        Dim cfg As VCConfiguration
        Dim tool As VCPostBuildEventTool
        prj = DTE.Solution.Projects.Item(1).Object
        cfgs = prj.Configurations
        cfg = cfgs.Item(1)
        tool = cfg.Tools("VCPreLinkEventTool")
        tool.ExcludedFromBuild = False
    End Sub
End Module

The following example shows how to use ExcludedFromBuild on a VCFileConfiguration object.

' add reference to Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine
Imports EnvDTE
Imports Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine

Public Module Module1
    Sub Test()
        Dim file As VCFile
        Dim col As IVCCollection
        Dim fileconfig As VCFileConfiguration
        Dim prj As VCProject
        prj = DTE.Solution.Projects.Item(1).Object
        col = prj.Files
        file = col.Item("project6.cpp")
        col = file.FileConfigurations
        fileconfig = col.Item(1)
        fileconfig.ExcludedFromBuild = True
    End Sub
End Module
