Examples

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

' add reference to Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine 
Imports EnvDTE 
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") 
 tool.ModuleDefinitionFile = "$(SolutionDir)\some.def" 
 End Sub 
End Module

Remarks

ModuleDefinitionFile exposes the functionality of the linker's /DEF (Specify Module-Definition File) option and the librarian's Building an Import Library and Export File option.
