visual studio macro to execute a file from the solution

I wrote a small to开发者_如何学Gool which sits in my solution (as a project), which runs in the background and helps me debug my main project.

I'd like to run the tool with a macro but I haven't found how to get the build path and execute it in the background.

Any VB macro experts ?

To answer your question partly, apparently you can get the solution path from within a macro like this:

System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(DTE.Solution.FullName)

I found this in some of the macros listed here. Since you say you've got a project within that solution, you could try DTE.Solution.FindProjectItem and progress from there. It's difficult to give more information without knowing more details about your exact scenario.
