Re-open last project when called from the Visual Studio add-in if Tools | User Options | General | Reload last project at startup is checked.*[9.0.0.1 VisBuildPro.exe]
Visual Studio add-ins (VS 2008+): If a .bld file is saved in the same path as the .sln file with the same base name (i.e., c:\full\path\xyz.bld and c:\full\path\xyz.sln), the add-in will open that .bld file instead of opening the previous .bld file (or creating a new project) and inserting a new step for the .sln file.*
