Remarks
The Solution3 object is a collection of all projects in the current instance of the IDE and all solution-wide properties, such as build configurations. The Solution3 object contains a project element for every project, whether it is a wrapped project, a subproject, or a top-level project.
Reference this object by using DTE.Solution3. To refer to virtual projects, such as MiscFiles or SolutionItems, use Solution3.Item(EnvDTE.Constants.vsProjectKindMisc) or Solution3.Item(EnvDTE.Constants.vsProjectKindSolutionItems).
