Many thanks ! Hello, Great post, however I wanted to go 1 step further, i.e. if I select multiple files in VS solution explorer context menu, the following line returns null ‘value’:
hierarchy.GetProperty(projectItemId, (int)__VSHPROPID.VSHPROPID_Name, out value);
If only 1 file is selected then I get the name of that file using “value.ToString()”

Any suggestion on how to get names of multiple files selected?

Many thanks !

Found this very helpful! Have implemented a similar solution explorer contextmenu item on a specific projecttype. It does show up, with bitmap etc. and with right condition.. The 'query' handler doesn't get interrogated though when the contextmenu opens nor does the 'click' handler get hit either... This a specific limitation? Any suggestions? regards. Hi, great post!

You need to reference the GUID and CmdID from a GuidSymbol element at the bottom of the VSCT file. I've updated my post to reflect that. The associated solution (link at the bottom of the post) also demonstrates this. Peter, please accept my apologies.

However, I have been having some issues with the second part, that is adding the context menu item for a particular file type. From the article: Piece of cake! We can now change the Group element’s parent to look like this, and we’re well on our way: (It is probably a better idea to put the GUID and ID inside the Symbols element so it can re-referenced more easily.) I get an error that complains about the Parent guid and id. Am I missing something obvious? Regards Hi

It seems that we are going along the same track. I have just discovered ProvideAutoLoad attribute (due to the search for hooking solution events) on the day you have published your blog.
