Examples
For information on how to run this add-in code, see How to: Compile and Run the Automation Object Model Code Examples.
The following example finds and displays the caption of the active window in an open solution.
Public Sub OnConnection(ByVal application As Object, _
ByVal connectMode As ext_ConnectMode, ByVal addInInst As Object, _
ByRef custom As Array) Implements IDTExtensibility2.OnConnection
_applicationObject = CType(application, DTE2)
_addInInstance = CType(addInInst, AddIn)
SolutionDTEExample(_applicationObject)
End Sub
Sub SolutionDTEExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)
' This add-in displays the caption of the active window,
' obtained through the DTE object. Open a solution in
' Visual Studio before running this example.
Try
Dim soln As Solution2 = CType(_applicationObject.Solution, _
Solution2)
MsgBox _
("The caption of the active window, obtained through the DTE object, is: " & _
vbCr & soln.DTE.ActiveWindow.Caption)
Catch ex As System.Exception
MsgBox(ex.ToString)
End Try
End Sub
//you will need to add this reference to your project as well
using System.Windows.Forms;

Try
