I am developing a Visual Studio package and I have written some code that will make a file in Solution Explorer dependant upon another file.
What this means is that
Here is my code (with reactivating the old window):
public void RefreshSolutionExplorer(EnvDTE.Project activeProject, string captionOfActiveWindow)
{
DTE2 dte2 = activeProject.DTE as DTE2;
string solutionName = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(dte2.Solution.FullName);
string projectName = activeProject.Name;
// Activate SolutionExplorer window
dte2.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindSolutionExplorer).Activate();
// Select your project to be updated
dte2.ToolWindows.SolutionExplorer.GetItem(solutionName + @"\" + projectName).Select(vsUISelectionType.vsUISelectionTypeSelect);
// Refresh SolutionExplorer window
dte2.ExecuteCommand("View.Refresh", String.Empty);
// Reactivate your old window
dte2.Windows.Item(captionOfActiveWindow).Activate();
}
