Sub VirtualPointExample()
   ' Before running this example, open a text document.
   Dim objSel As TextSelection = DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection
   Dim objActive As VirtualPoint = objSel.ActivePoint
   ' Collapse the selection to the beginning of the line.
   objSel.StartOfLine()
   ' objActive is "live", tied to the position of the actual selection, 
   ' so it will reflect the new position.
