The following example shows how to create a solution.

Public Sub OnConnection(ByVal application As Object, _
 ByVal connectMode As ext_ConnectMode, ByVal addInInst As Object, _
 ByRef custom As Array) Implements IDTExtensibility2.OnConnection
    _applicationObject = CType(application, DTE2)
    _addInInstance = CType(addInInst, AddIn)
    CreateExample(_applicationObject)
End Sub

Sub CreateExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)
    ' This add-in creates a  solution.
    Try
        Dim soln As Solution2 =  _
        CType(_applicationObject.Solution, Solution2)
        MsgBox("Creating a new solution ")
        ' Make sure that the file path below exists on your computer.
        ' You can modify the path.
        soln.Create("c:\temp2", "ANewSoln.sln")
    Catch ex As System.Exception
        MsgBox(ex.ToString)
    End Try
End Sub
using System.Windows.Forms;
public void OnConnection(object application,
 Extensibility.ext_ConnectMode connectMode, object addInInst,
 ref System.Array custom)
{
    _applicationObject = (DTE2)application;
    _addInInstance = (AddIn)addInInst;
    // Pass the applicationObject member variable to the code example.
    CreateExample((DTE2)_applicationObject);
}
public void CreateExample(DTE2 dte)
{
    // This add-in creates a solution.
    try
    {
        Solution2 soln = (Solution2)_applicationObject.Solution;
        MessageBox.Show("Creating a  solution ");
        // Make sure that the file path below exists on your computer.
        // You can modify the path.
        soln.Create("c:\temp2", "ANewSoln2.sln");
