Examples

The following example modifies the linker's AdditionalLibraryDirectories property in the integrated development environment (IDE):

' Macro code. 
' Before running, load a Visual C++ project and add a reference to 
' Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine 
Imports EnvDTE 
Imports EnvDTE80 
Imports System.Diagnostics 
Imports Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine 

Public Module Module1 
 Sub Test() 
 Dim prj As VCProject 
 Dim cfgs, tools As IVCCollection 
 Dim cfg As VCConfiguration 
 Dim tool As VCLinkerTool 

 prj = DTE.Solution.Projects.Item(1).Object 
 cfgs = prj.Configurations 
 cfg = cfgs.Item(1) 
 tool = cfg.Tools("VCLinkerTool") 
 MsgBox("Additional Lib Directory: " & _ 
 tool.AdditionalLibraryDirectories) 
 tool.AdditionalLibraryDirectories = "c:\temp" 
 MsgBox("Additional Lib Directory: " & _ 
 tool.AdditionalLibraryDirectories) 
 End Sub 
End Module

Remarks

AdditionalLibraryDirectories exposes the functionality of the linker's /LIBPATH (Additional Libpath) option and the librarian's Managing a Library option.

An example of a valid path name is "c:\additionaldirs." Use semicolons to delimit a list of more than one path.
