Hi Jes,

Unfortunately, this is not possible. The template generation happens in a separate AppDomain from the Visual Studio AppDomain.

What are you trying to do with the DTE

If you just need the DTE then you can get the active VS.NET instance:

EnvDTE80.DTE2 dte2;

dte2 = (EnvDTE80.DTE2)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("VisualStudio.DTE.8.0");

WriteLine(dte2.Solution.FullName);
