Remarks

In a UML extension such as a menu command or gesture handler, you can declare a property:

[Import] public IDiagramContext DiagramContext {get; set;}

This will be set to the Visual Studio project item containing the current diagram.

You can also cast EnvDTE.ProjectItem to this type, if the item is a UML diagram.
