    Dim win As Windows2  
    win = CType(_applicationObject.Windows, EnvDTE80.Windows2)  
    MsgBox("The DTE name, reached through the Window2 object, is: " _  
 & vbCr & win.DTE.Name)  
End Sub

using EnvDTE;  
using EnvDTE80;  
using System.Windows.Forms;  
public void ReachDTE(DTE2 dte)  
{  
    Windows2 win;  
    win = (EnvDTE80.Windows2)_applicationObject.Windows;  
    MessageBox.Show("The DTE name, reached through the Window2 object,  
 is: " + "\n" + win.DTE.Name);  
}
