ProjectCollection.GlobalProjectCollection.LoadedProjects find a replacement

[Denis Kuzmin]

find a replacement for LoadedProjects... extremely unpredictable behavior with loaded collections (#3, #5) + many problems with paths (#5, #6) and problem #7 with the solution context like "Undefined" prop. etc.

stable with the EnvDTE._Solution.Projects:

protected IEnumerable<EnvDTE.Project> DTEProjects
{
    get
    {
        foreach(EnvDTE.Project project in dte2.Solution.Projects)
        {
            if(String.IsNullOrEmpty(project.FullName) || String.IsNullOrEmpty(project.Name)) {
                continue;
            }
            yield return project;
        }
    }
}

if GlobalProjectCollection is empty:

[TRACE]: selected = dteProject: 'D:\prg\projects\FlightSDC++\FlightSDC++\natpmp\natpmp.vcxproj'
[DEBUG]: getProject->selected 'D:\prg\projects\FlightSDC++\FlightSDC++\natpmp\natpmp.vcxproj'
[TRACE]: tryLoadPCollection :: 'D:\prg\projects\FlightSDC++\FlightSDC++\natpmp\natpmp.vcxproj' [Debug_natpmp ; Win32]
[DEBUG]: Properties has been saved in the cache. ['natpmp']

if exist with variants of configuration:

[TRACE]: selected = dteProject: 'D:\prg\projects\FlightSDC++\FlightSDC++\natpmp\natpmp.vcxproj'
[TRACE]: isEquals for 'D:\prg\projects\FlightSDC++\FlightSDC++\StrongDC.vcxproj' : 'natpmp' [Release_natpmp = Debug ; x64 = Win32]

Currently we work with DTEProjects over ProjectCollection.GlobalProjectCollection

see major fixes in a19e3416a1db

seems is stable.. time will tell :)
