How to find a project in the tree?

Am very noob with VBasic but here we go. I want to locate a project reference inside my solution in a VStudio 2010 environment using the macros. This proj will be used to add new items, use its path for the new file.

In my solution, there use several virtual folders, when I tried to iterate through all the tree I failed to go down deep to the leaves. Has someone done that?

Later I tried gathering the project reference by using its name:

StartupProj = DTE.Solution.Item("MySpecialProj.uniquext")

But all i get is this error 

The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT:0x80070057 (E:INVALIDARG))

Googling it, found that it is correct way, but no luck finding why I get this error. Anyone helping me here?

If you want to find out all selected project's & DLL references you can use:

Private _applicationObject As DTE2

Public Sub OnConnection(application As Object, connectMode As ext_ConnectMode, addInInst As Object, ByRef [custom] As Array)
    _applicationObject = DirectCast(application, DTE2)
End Sub

...

For Each project As Project In DirectCast(_applicationObject.ActiveSolutionProjects, Object())
    Dim vsProject As VSProject = TryCast(project.[Object], VSProject)
    If vsProject <> Nothing Then            
        For Each reference As Reference In vsProject.References
            ' Do cool stuff here
        Next
    End If
Next

You need to find and include a reference to VSLangProj.dll (e.g. in Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies)

Hope this helps:

Solution: Clear out the temporary framework files for your project in:

For Windows 7, the path is: C:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\Temp\Temporary ASP.NET Files\

For 64 bit systems with 'Framework' in the path the full path is: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\

Note: doing a search on the error code on google normally yields some great results ;-)

Edit: Regarding googling the hexidecimal Error Code. I recommend its better to use the Microsoft Error Utility. You download the tool, put the exe in your system32 folder. Then open CMD and run the command err 0x80070057. It will tell you the error in the Operating System header files. Its much easiler to google these text messages along with the hex code. ps putting the exe in the system32 folder means you can run CMD from any directory in the command window.

Here is the result with the output ported to a text file: err 0x80070057 > C:\NotNullGothjik.txt
