I'm trying to use Visual Studio's Extensibility model to access call hierarchy for a particular method and then to populate my own control with the results. I'm pretty sure the answer must lie in the ICallHierarchyMemberItem interface but I can't work out how to get an instance of the something that implements this interface. Can anyone ...
(I know about the other MEF/MAF questions but this is a more specific problem) I want to create a WPF application that will basically be just a simple add-in host, GUI and settings.

I was viewing the Channel9 video on an introduction to VS 2010 extensibility to learn a bit about creating extensions. In the video, the end "enhanced" product was supposedly using a tool window but it did not look like one; it had no titlebar or anything. http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/VSIPMarketing/VSX101-An-Introduction-to-Visual-Stu...

For example, if I write an event to handle project items being added, where should I attach this?...

I've implemented a customized QueryStringConverter class and hooked it up using a customized WebHttpBehavior subclass.
