    _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 = _

End Sub
