Answer 1

I know this is an old post by now, but for anyone else, who is searching for a fast solution. Take a look at the IVsTrackProjectDocuments2 class and it's matching IVsTrackProjectDocumentsEvents2 event interface.

You will receive notifications for all project items (Not solution items!), including Solution Items, which match the following actions:

• Rename Directories

• Rename Files

• Add Directories

• Add Files

• Remove Directories

• Remove Files

• SccStatusChanged (I am guessing, that it will fire after a file's source-control state changed.)

These will contain an array of the changed items, their new state and the projects in which updates occurred. Additionally you will get a VS*FLAGS array, which contains more information about the current operation.
