            // Returns the ConfigurationManager containing the active configuration.  
            configmgr = config.Collection;  
            // Returns the application containing this active configuration.  
            MessageBox.Show(config.DTE.Name);  
        }

Remarks

For configurations, Type returns a constant indicating whether the collection of configurations is a row of configurations for a specific configuration name, or a column of configurations for a given platform. If the window belongs to an environment tool, then Type identifies the tool. If the window is for a package-supplied tool or document window, then Type is either vsWindowTypeToolWindow or vsWindowTypeDocument, and the ObjectKind property indicates package-specific type information.
