Visual Studio Addin - Get Name\Path of binary of a c++ project?

I want to get the 开发者_运维问答binary name of a C++ Project with a Visual Studio C# Addin.

I googled and found, that the the EnvDTE.Configuration.properties should have a element called "AssemblyName" but C++ projects do not seem to have this element.

Did somebody know where could I get this information inside a visual studio addin?

For VC++ projects you need to get access to the VCConfiguration object which you should be able to get at from the EnvDTE.Project's Object property like:

EnvDTE.Project project = ...
VCProject vcProj = (VCProject)project.Object;
IVCCollection configs = (IVCCollection)vcProj.Configurations;
VCConfiguration config = (VCConfiguration)configs.Item(configName); // like "Debug"

At that point with the VCConfiguration how exactly to get at the correct properties depends on your set up. You can access the the VCLinkerTool from the Tools property and get at the OutputFile and other properties. Or, if you use the newer inherited property sheets you may access those through the Rules property.

IVCCollection tools = (IVCCollection)config.Tools;
VCLinkerTool linkTool = (VCLinkerTool)tools.Item("Linker Tool");
string outputFile = linkTool.OutputFile;

// -------

IVCRulePropertyStorage ruleStorage = config.Rules.Item(ruleName);
string outputFile = ruleStorage.GetEvaluatedPropertyValue("TargetName");

In order to get the complete path of the binary, follow the steps as @Chadwick said to get the VCConfiguration object. And then, just use the following line of code:

//returns the complete binary name including path as a string
var primaryOutput = config.PrimaryOutput;
