2010 Beta 2: Build VCConfiguration

[bmelt]

I use code like following and it works fine with VS 2005 and 2008:

foreach (Project prjo in GetApplicationObject().Solution.Projects)
{
VCProject prj = (VCProject)prjo.Object;
IVCCollection cfgs = (IVCCollection)prj.Configurations;
foreach (VCConfiguration c in cfgs)
{
c.Build();
}
}

With VS 2010 Beta 2, only first configuration get built, then

An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred
in SamplesTester.exe
Additional information: Cannot perform this operation while this is not the
active configuration in the project.

What should be changed to get it working with 2010?

Thanks!

Hi Boris,

Thanks for reporting this issue.

VS 2010 has changed a lot in VC project system. This behavior is possible
one of those changes.

Visual Studio builds projects by solution configuration instead of
individual project configuration. From your code, it seems that you want to
build all configurations of the projects under solution. If it is true, can
you use the following code to achieve the similar purpose?

I use VB macro as sample:

Dim sb As SolutionBuild = DTE.Solution.SolutionBuild

For Each cfg As SolutionConfiguration In sb.SolutionConfigurations
cfg.Activate()
sb.Build(True)
Next

The code above will builds all the solution configurations of the solution.
In order to build individual project, the following code is also workable:c

Dim sb As SolutionBuild = DTE.Solution.SolutionBuild

For Each cfg As SolutionConfiguration In sb.SolutionConfigurations
sb.BuildProject(cfg.Name,
DTE.Solution.Projects.Item(1).UniqueName, True)
Next

Hope it helps.

Hi Hongye Sun,
Thank you for explanation I have to activate solution configuration with VS
2010. Actually I have much more code around the snippet I showed, so it is
preferable for me to keep old code with some small changes. I could do it
adding code for activation correspondent configuration in solution before
c.Build():
foreach (SolutionConfiguration sc in
GetApplicationObject().DTE.Solution.SolutionBuild.SolutionConfigurations)
{
if (sc.Name == c.ConfigurationName)
{
foreach (SolutionContext context in sc.SolutionContexts)
{
if (context.PlatformName == platform)
sc.Activate();
}
}
}

Regards,
Boris
