If you have a reference to EnvDTE, you can use dte.Solution and dte.Solution.SolutionBuild.ActiveConfiguration.

thanks for answer, but i get crash with exception(Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID), after googling i found that it should solution be in x86. Is it so ? – Beneficent

A VS Package must be compiled as x86. Visual Studio is 32-bit only. – Donatello

And for those looking on how to get a reference to the DTE, call the GetService() method as such: DTE dte = (DTE)GetService(typeof(DTE));. – Anissaanita
