Obtaining the IProjectService

From MEF via import

Note that importing any CPS related service moves your MEF part from the VS default MEF catalog into a CPS catalog "sub-scope". Import properties are only 'satisfied' when MEF activated your type (not simply by newing up an instance of your object).

    [Import]
    IProjectService ProjectService { get; set; }

From MEF via an imperative GetService query

    IServiceProvider site; // the VS global service provider
    var componentModel = site.GetService(typeof(SComponentModel)) as IComponentModel;
    var projectServiceAccessor = componentModel.GetService<IProjectServiceAccessor>();
    IProjectService projectService = projectServiceAccessor.GetProjectService();
