Solves issue #5 by looking at parent ProjectItem insteed of proj root

[enkelmedia]

I this that this might be a solution to the issue that the preview does not work for files thats not in the root of the project

No comments of feedback on this one? I've used it in my VS install for over 3 months without any problems

Thanks for contributing
I'm sorry i couldn't respond quicker
Please review the comment i left you
To test it just open plain simple console application

1. Right click on app.config
2. Select Preview Config Transform

What if the source.Collection.Parentis Project and not ProjectItem?
You are going to get cast exception.

Hi!

No worries :) I use this extension all the time :)

Hmm, why would you look at a transform for a config-file without a parent? Like in your example? Maybe we should just catch an exception like that and show some massage box? Or what are you thinking?

Edit: What I mean is that if the -config-files are correctly nested the parent will always be the ”root” config file? Just running a preview on app.config does not really make sense?

[golavr]

i didn't say w/o parent :)
i'm saying when parent of the selected item is Project which is the case when you right click app.config in console application
var parent = (ProjectItem) source.Collection.Parent

@golavr I understand, thats wrong. But why would someone want to run the preview on the "raw" app.config? How would you think that it should be handled?

Edit: Should I show an Msgbox with an error in that case? Or what would you say?

I've updated the code to you example and it seems to work fine now.

@enkelmedia thanks for the fix
we have 2 failed unit tests
please try to fix them and i'll merge it to master

I've updated the PR, since the test was written with only the "Project" as parent in mind I had to rewrite them a little. Now they are checking that a parent Project returns null and a parent ProjectItem actually comes back correct.

thank you @enkelmedia 👍
