Namespace: EnvDTE80
Assembly: EnvDTE80 (in EnvDTE80.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Property StartupProjects As Object

Object StartupProjects { get; set; }

property Object^ StartupProjects {
    Object^ get ();
    void set (Object^ value);
}

abstract StartupProjects : Object with get, set

function get StartupProjects () : Object
function set StartupProjects (value : Object)

Property Value

Type: System.Object
An object containing the names of projects that are the entry points for the application.

Implements

SolutionBuild.StartupProjects

Remarks

StartupProjects contains a list of project name strings that "start" when the Run command is issued. Each project and language defines what starting means as well as what occurs when a project is started. For example, a Visual C++ project starts by executing the main() function, and Visual Basic executes Sub Main() or a startup form. Other projects and languages use a project property for a class or function name, while others use an interface that must be implemented, and so on.

Examples

This example determines the build status for each active startup configuration. Open a project in the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE) before running this add-in.

For more information about how to run this example as an add-in, see How to: Compile and Run the Automation Object Model Code Examples.
