Public Sub PrjDTE(ByVal dte As DTE2)
    ' List the parent object for the first VSProjectItem.
    ' Before running, open a VB or C# application in VS.
    Dim vsPrj As VSProject = _
    CType(dte.Solution.Projects.Item(1).Object, _
    VSProject)
    Dim vsPrjItem As VSProjectItem

    vsPrjItem = CType(dte.Solution.Projects.Item(1) _
    .ProjectItems.Item(1).Object, VSProjectItem)
    MsgBox("Parent object for VSProjectItem: " & vsPrjItem.DTE)
End Sub

public void PrjDTE(DTE2 dte)
{
    // Lists the parent object for the first VSProjectItem.
    // Before running, open a VB or C# application in VS.
    VSProject vsPrj = (VSProject)dte.Solution.
    Projects.Item(1).Object;
    VSProjectItem vsPrjItem;

    vsPrjItem = (VSProjectItem)dte.Solution.
    Projects.Item(1).ProjectItems.Item(1).Object;
    MessageBox.Show("Parent object for VSProjectItem" + vsPrjItem.DTE);
}
