List of open documents in VisualStudio (Plugin-Development)

Question

Hello, I am currently trying to develop a simple plugin for visual studio 2008 using c#.

I feel kind of stupid to ask, but after searching the doc for a few hours I can't find a way for a really simple task: Assume this open solution. I simply want a list of the documents open in the TABs on the right. I tried something, see below...

This approach is not working:

And the result is rather strange:

Any tips on how to list the active documents?

Thanks,

Chris

Answer 1

Can't answer your specific question, but can make a couple of comments/suggestions:

• The DTE object model is ugly, ugly, ugly - you're not the only person who's struggled with it (ask me how I know).

• Ask your question on the Visual Studio Extensibility Forum - they can probably help.

Ok,

I just found a way around the ugly DTE. Its simply not using it :-) At least not directly. I found DxCore, which is free (at least for personal use, I guess) and does the job quite nicely.

To get what I wanted, I simply needed this code (which was what I was hoping in VS for, but there it kind of behave different)...
