   Dim Cmds As Commands = DTE.Commands  
   Dim Cmd As Command  
   Dim Doc As Document  
   Dim TxtDoc As TextDocument  

   DTE.ItemOperations.NewFile("General\Text File")  
   Doc = ActiveDocument  
   TxtDoc = Doc.Object("TextDocument")  

   For Each Cmd In Cmds  
      If (Cmd.Name <> "") Then  
         TxtDoc.Selection.Text = Cmd.Name & vbLf  
         TxtDoc.Selection.Collapse()  
      End If  
   Next  
End Sub  

Remarks

You can use the ItemOperations object to programmatically open or add items to your solution and projects. Note that ItemOperations methods act upon only the currently selected item.

This example uses the ItemOperations object to generate a text document listing all available command names.
