title: Using the EnvDTE assembly
body: <p>Is it possible to use the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/envdte.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">EnvDTE</a> assembly in a <em>non-extension</em> project (e.g. a <em>Class Library</em> project)?</p>
  
  <p>If so, how would I access <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/envdte.configurationmanager.activeconfiguration.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the ConfigurationManager.ActiveConfiguration property</a>?</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/13071175/1316620">This question</a> answers exactly what I want, but I couldn't get the <code>dte</code> object that it uses.</p>
