Did you ever find a solution to the GetGlobalService returning null problem? I'm seeing the same thing.

I'm using VS 2010.
If the DLLs referenced would have been wrong, I'd have got build errors I believe, but the build works fine. But Package.GetGlobalService(typeof(SDTE))
is returning null value

@Anand: Which version of Visual Studio are you using? Did you reference correct DLLs?

@Waldek : Hey thanks a lot Waldek! It helped a lot, but I'm getting null value for dte when I use follwing line of code in mine

DTE dte = Package.GetGlobalService(typeof(SDTE)) as DTE;

I'm not able to figure out why?
Kindly suggest.

Thanks,
Anand

@Anand: I suggest you check out CKS:DEV code on CodePlex. We have there a helper function that allows you to convert EnvDTE to ISharePointProject.

Hi Mastykarz,

I'm creating a VS2010 AddIn.
I've a situation where I need to convert an EnvDTE project object to an IsharePointProject object in order to access ISharePointProject's property "IsSandBoxed".
Kindly suggest a way or workaround so that I could access this "IsSandBoxed" Property.
