Examples

This example demonstrates how to reach the DTE object from a Reference3 object. Open a Visual Basic or Visual C# project before running this example. To run this example as an add-in, see How to: Compile and Run the Automation Object Model Code Examples.

The default path for the reference added (adodb.dll) in: <installation root>\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\Primary Interop Assemblies. Replace <file path> in the example with this or another appropriate file path.

Remarks

In Visual Studio, the DTE object is the root of the automation model, which other object models often call "Application".
