' Macro Editor 
Imports VSLangProj
Private Function GetProjectName(ByVal refs As References) _
   As String
   Return refs.ContainingProject.Name
End Function

Sub TestGetProjectName()
   ' First project is a Visual Basic or C# project.
   Dim theVSProject As VSProject = _
      CType(DTE.Solution.Projects.Item(1).Object, VSProject)
   Dim refs As References = theVSProject.References
   MsgBox(GetProjectName(refs))
End Sub
