        Constants.vsViewKindPrimary);  

    // Create an EditPoint at the start of the new document.  
    TextDocument doc =   
        (TextDocument)dte.ActiveDocument.Object("TextDocument");  
    EditPoint point = doc.StartPoint.CreateEditPoint();  

    // Insert 10 lines of text.  
    for (int i = 1; i <= 10; ++i)  
        point.Insert("This is a test.\n");  

    // Display EditPoint properties.  
    MessageBox.Show(  
        "AbsoluteCharOffset: " + point.AbsoluteCharOffset + "\n" +  
        "AtEndOfDocument: " + point.AtEndOfDocument + "\n" +  
        "AtEndOfLine: " + point.AtEndOfLine + "\n" +

Remarks

AbsoluteCharOffset returns the number of characters from the top of the document to the object. The LineCharOffset property determines the number of characters only from the beginning of the line containing the object. New line characters count as one character.

Character numbering begins at one.
