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.

   objSel.EndOfLine()
