Design Time Directory in VS 2005

I'm currently working on some design time editors, which need to read configuration settings from the web.config / app.config files, located in the main project folder.

The main problem is to find the directory of the project. There are some good posts about it, like here and here, but alas, they are all good only for VS 2003. I couldn't find any info about implementing such a functionality in VS 2005.

Do you know of any source available regarding this issue?

The EnvDTE is still there, you could use it to explore the project properties a bit or try some of the other d-t services.

In VS2005, you'll be able to get to config easily, and use the strongly-typed management APIs on configuration.

IWebApplication webApp = (IWebApplication)Component.Site.GetService(typeof(IWebApplication));
if (webApp != null)
Configuration config = webApp.OpenWebConfiguration(true);

Hi Simon.

Thanks for the info.
Perhaps I'm missing something, but I can't find any reference to the Component object in the code. In addition, I'm talking about WinForms application, and not Web Application.

To clarify: I'm trying to get this info in the EditValue method of my custom UITypeEditor.
Do you know how do I get this info there?
