Examples

Sub AddFromFileExample()  
   ' This function creates a solution and adds a Visual Basic Console  
   ' project to it.   
   Dim soln As Solution  

   ' Create a reference to the solution.  
   soln = DTE.Solution  

   ' Create a new solution.  
   soln.Create("c:\temp2", "MyNewSolution")

Remarks

You can use the LaunchWizard method rather than AddFromFile to execute a wizard if you want to suppress its UI during execution. LaunchWizard has a parameter that allows you to disable the UI.
