The following example finds and displays the parent of the 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)
IsOpenExample(_applicationObject)
End Sub
Sub IsOpenExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)
' This add-in displays the parent of the solution.
' Open a solution in
' Visual Studio before running this example.
Try
Dim soln As Solution2 = CType(_applicationObject.Solution, _
Solution2)
Dim solnName As String = _
System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(soln.FullName)
MsgBox("Solution " & solnName & _
" has the following parent:" & _
vbCrLf & vbCrLf & soln.Parent.FullName)
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;
public void OnConnection(object application,
Extensibility.ext_ConnectMode connectMode, object addInInst,
ref System.Array custom)
{

// Pass the applicationObject member variable to the code example.
ParentExample((DTE2)_applicationObject);
}
public void ParentExample(DTE2 dte)
{
// This add-in displays the name of the parent for a solution.
// Open a solution in
// Visual Studio before running this example.
try
{

string solnName =
