Enter a secure shell for EnvDTE?

Question

Working with EnvDTE is a pain in the ass. The documentation is catastrophic, and it is almost impossible to poke inside quickly. Just look at this shit:

Nothing but __ComObjects as far as the eye can see.

I am looking for a completely safe type, wrapped in sunlight and a beautiful bow that will allow me to navigate the damned thing in a reasonable way, "The-Way-It-Oughta-Be", as when reflected in the code and when viewed at runtime (in my example , from LinqPad).

Is it there, or will I have to bite a bullet and write it all myself?

Answer 1

Studio Shell is a way to navigate dte like roaming files and folders. Although this is not exactly what you are looking for, it shows types and structure information and allows you to experiment with an active project in a project.
