Introduction

This article provides a list of known project type Guids.

More Information

Every Visual Studio project has a project type (Windows project, Smart Device project, Web Site project, etc.) and in some cases more than one type (subtypes or flavors).

Every project type is identified by a unique Guid, so every project has one or more project type Guids.

（每一个项目都是独特的GUID标识【ProjectGuid】，所以每个项目都有一个或多个项目类型GUID。）

Project type Guids are stored generally in the project file: (例如：*.vbproj 文件)

<PropertyGroup>
   <ProjectTypeGuids>{A860303F-1F3F-4691-B57E-529FC101A107};{F184B08F-C81C-45F6-A57F-5ABD9991F28F}</ProjectTypeGuids>
...
< /PropertyGroup>

But for some special projects (such as some database projects) and projects lacking a file (such as Web Site projects), the project type is stored also in the solution file:

(例如：*.sln 文件）

Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 10.00
# Visual Studio 2008
Project("{F184B08F-C81C-45F6-A57F-5ABD9991F28F}") = "SqlServerProject1", "SqlServerProject1.vbproj", "{BE5F0BE0-93CD-4FCE-A853-9096A442DF1B}"
EndProject
...

Note: Do not confuse the project type Guid with the project guid that identifies a project within a solution.

（不要混淆项目类型和项目GUIDGUID标识解决方案中的项目。）

The main project type of a project is returned by the automation model through the EnvDTE.Project.Kind property, which is a string containing the Guid that identifies the project type. To get all the project type Guids of a project you have to read the project or solution file, or use the IVsAggregatableProject interface as described in the articleHOWTO: Get the project flavor (subtype) of a Visual Studio project from an add-in.

The project type Guids are stored in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<version>\Projects where <version> is:

• 7.0 for Visual Studio .NET 2002
• 7.1 for Visual Studio .NET 2003
• 8.0 for Visual Studio 2005
• 9.0 for Visual Studio 2008
• 10.0 for Visual Studio 2010
• 11.0 for Visual Studio 2012

However, not all the Guids stored in that registry key are actual project types. Some of them are used only to provide project templates (for C# and VB.NET projects) and others have other purposes. The following table lists known project type Guids.

Note: The Guids are provided all uppercase because the case in the registry doesn't always match the case in the project file.
