Visual studio addin - finding current solution folder path

Question

I have an add-in loaded, and a solution loaded, how would I find the folder path of that solution programmatically in C# in my addin?

Answer 1

you can use this code:

string solutionpath = Directory.GetParent(Application.ExecutablePath).Parent.Parent.Parent.FullName;

Answer 2

Alas I figured it out after a lot of goooogling!!

In connect.cs:

    public String SolutionPath()
    {
        return Path.GetDirectoryName(_applicationObject.Solution.FullName);
    }

Answer 3

The Solution.FullName answer is correct, but take care, you cannot access it until the OnStartupCompleted method is called in connect.cs.
