For information on how to run this add-in code, see How to: Compile and Run the Automation Object Model Code Examples.

The following example shows how to display the extenders for an open solution

Sub ExtenderNamesExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)

    Dim names() As String = CType(dte.Solution.ExtenderNames, String())
    Dim exts, name As String
    For Each name In names
        exts &= name & vbCrLf
    Next

    MsgBox(dte.Solution.FullName & " has the following extenders:" & _
        vbCrLf & vbCrLf & exts)

End Sub

//you will need to add this reference to your project as well
using System.Windows.Forms;
public void ExtenderNamesExample(DTE2 dte)
{
    string[] names = (string[])dte.Solution.ExtenderNames;
    string exts = "";
    foreach (string name in names)
    {
        exts += name + Environment.NewLine;
    }

    MessageBox.Show(dte.Solution.FullName + 
        " has the following extenders:" + Environment.NewLine + 
        Environment.NewLine + exts);
