Q: 

Obtaining Added Item Information with vsx

Hi,

I just created an event handler to determine when a new item is added to the solution explorer; however, I'm unable to obtain the properties of the item(Name, etc).

In the event handler method, I just have my project item. Is there any way I could possibly use an interface to obtain the information I need?

Thank you!

The following articles from Carlos Quintero explain in detail about how to subscribe and get information from the ProjectEvents.
