EnvDTE VS 2012 Create a physical folder in an existing folder

Question

How can you create a folder in a solution project inside an already existing physical folder with EnvDTE?

project - folder - create this folder

Answer 1

This works for C++ project in VS2012. For other project types you might need to use physical folder, not sure. The code assumes you've got "First Level Folder" folder in your project already.

Project project = null; // you should get the project from the solution or as active project or somehow else
ProjectItem folderItem = project.ProjectItems.Item("First Level Folder");
folderItem.ProjectItems.AddFolder("Second Level Folder", Constants.vsProjectItemKindVirtualFolder);

Note that the code might not compile and run properly, it is just a snippet.
