The following example shows how to open a 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)
    SolnOpenExample(_applicationObject)
End Sub

Sub SolnOpenExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)
    ' This add-in opens a solution.
    Dim soln As Solution2 = CType(dte.Solution, Solution2)
    ' Try to open the solution.
    Try
        ' Make sure you replace <file path> 
        ' below with an actual path,
        ' and <solution.sln> with an actual solution file.
        soln.Open("<file path>\<solution.sln>")
        Catch ex As SystemException
            MsgBox("ERROR: " & ex.ToString())
        End Try
    End Sub

using System.Windows.Forms;
public void OnConnection(object application,
 Extensibility.ext_ConnectMode connectMode, object addInInst,
 ref System.Array custom)
{
    _applicationObject = (DTE2)application;
    _addInInstance = (AddIn)addInInst;
    // Pass the applicationObject member variable to the code example.
    SolnOpenExample((DTE2)_applicationObject);
}

public void SolnOpenExample(DTE2 dte)
{
    // This add-in opens a solution.
    try
    {
        Solution2 soln = (Solution2)_applicationObject.Solution;
        // Make sure you replace <filepath> below 
        // with an actual path
        // and <solution.sln> with an actual solution file.
        soln.Open(@"<file path>\<solution.sln>");
    }
    catch (SystemException ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("ERROR: " + ex);
    }
}
