Sub ListAttr(ByVal SolnEx As Object, ByVal CA As ContextAttribute)  
   ' Support function for CATest(). Lists the current attributes   
   ' associated with Solution Explorer.  
   Dim msg As String  

   MsgBox("Number of context attributes in Solution Explorer: " & _  
   SolnEx.ContextAttributes.Count)  
   For Each CA In SolnEx.ContextAttributes  
      msg = msg & CA.Name & Chr(13)  
   Next  
   MsgBox(msg)  
   msg = ""  
End Sub  

Remarks

Fetching a ContextAttributes collection does not ensure that it is up to date, so you must call this method to refresh the collection. Adding and removing attributes refreshes the collection.
