roslyn Using Workspaces Getting the VisualStudioWorkspace from inside a Visual Studio Extension
Example
In contrast to the other types of workspaces, the VisualStudioWorkspace, cannot be created manually. It can be accessed when building a Visual Studio extension.
When inside your extension package project, go to [YourVSPackage]Package.cs file. There you can acquire the workspace in two ways:
protected override void Initialize()
{
// Additional code...
var componentModel = (IComponentModel)this.GetService(typeof(SComponentModel));
var workspace = componentModel.GetService<VisualStudioWorkspace>();
}
Or by using MEF:
[Import(typeof(VisualStudioWorkspace))]
public VisualStudioWorkspace ImportedWorkspace { get; set; }
A great video tutorial about the VisualStudioWorkspace, can be found here.
