Saving solution file

[VishalTrivedi]

Hello, I'm developing an extension in which I'm adding file(s) to the currently open solution. Post adding the file, I need to save the solution file and needed to know the best way to do so. My current approach is using the following code which saves all files:

await KnownCommands.File_SaveAll.ExecuteAsync();

While this works, I'd rather save just the solution file instead of all files. Kindly provide recommendations/suggestions.

Thanks,

You can use VsSolution.SaveSolutionElement. See the remarks for saving the solution file:

To save the entire solution, call SaveSolutionElement(grfSaveOpts, null, null).

Note that the third parameter should actually be zero, not null.

var solution = await VS.Services.GetSolutionAsync();
solution.SaveSolutionElement((uint)__VSSLNSAVEOPTIONS.SLNSAVEOPT_SaveIfDirty, null, 0);

The possible values for the first argument can be found here: __VSSLNSAVEOPTIONS Enum
