I'm building a .Net application that should import a VS2010/2008 solution and find the start up project by reading the .suo file. I looked at How do I programmatically find out the Action of each StartUp Project in a solution? but the solution mentioned works only if I select Multiple Startup Projects in the Solution Properties window. My solution does not have multiple startup project. Is there a way to find the startup project when the solution has only 1 startup proj?
Here's the code
public static class StartUpProjectHelper
{
public static FileInfo GetStartUpProject(FileInfo solutionFile)
{
FileInfo startUpProject = null;
string suoFile = solutionFile.FullName.Substring(0, solutionFile.FullName.Length - 4) + ".suo";
string guid = null;
bool found = false;
foreach (var kvp in ReadStartupOptions(suoFile))
{
if (((kvp.Value & 1) != 0 || (kvp.Value & 2) != 0) && !found)
{
guid = kvp.Key.ToString();
found = true;
}
}
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(guid))
{
string projectname = GetProjectNameFromGuid(solutionFile, guid).Trim().TrimStart('\"').TrimEnd('\"');
startUpProject = new FileInfo(Path.Combine(solutionFile.DirectoryName, projectname));
}
return startUpProject;
}
public static string GetProjectNameFromGuid(FileInfo solutionFile, string guid)
{
string projectName = null;
using (var reader = new StreamReader(solutionFile.FullName))
{
string line;
bool found = false;
while ((line = reader.ReadLine()) != null && !found)
{
// sample format
//Project("{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}") = "Saltus.digiTICKET.laptop", "digiTICKET.laptop\Saltus.digiTICKET.laptop.csproj",
//"{236D51A1-DEB7-41C3-A4C1-1D16D0A85382}" EndProject
if ((line.IndexOf(guid.ToUpper()) > -1) && line.Contains(",") && line.Contains("="))
{
projectName = line.Split(',')[1].Split(',')[0];
found = true;
}
}
}
return projectName;
}

Here's the solution. It is mostly based on @SimonMourier post, but instead of searching for "dwStartupOpt\0=", I'm looking for "StartupProject\0=&\0". This token occurs only once in the .suo
file and is followed by the startup project's GUID.
public static FileInfo GetStartUpProject(FileInfo solutionFile)
{
FileInfo startUpProject = null;
string projectName = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(solutionFile.FullName);
FileInfo suoFileInfo = new FileInfo(Path.Combine(solutionFile.Directory.FullName, string.Format(projectName + "{0}", ".suo")));
string guid = ReadStartupOptions(suoFileInfo.FullName).ToString();
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(guid))
{
string projectname = GetProjectNameFromGuid(solutionFile, guid).Trim().TrimStart('\"').TrimEnd('\"');
startUpProject = new FileInfo(Path.Combine(solutionFile.DirectoryName, projectname));
}
return startUpProject;
}
public static string GetProjectNameFromGuid(FileInfo solutionFile, string guid)
{
string projectName = null;
using (var reader = new StreamReader(solutionFile.FullName))
{
string line;
bool found = false;
while ((line = reader.ReadLine()) != null && !found)
{
if ((line.IndexOf(guid.ToUpper()) > -1) && line.Contains(",") && line.Contains("="))
{
projectName = line.Split(',')[1].Split(',')[0];
found = true;
}
}
}
return projectName;
}
