I am trying to write a VB.Net 2003 addin which will find the start and end
of the procedure in which the cursor is located and insert a block of code
right after the procedure header and another right before the end of the
procedure. I have tried to navigate the DTE object model with no success
visited websites and newsgroups and examined samples. but I still don't seem
to be able to figure this out.. Can anyone help me here?

3 steps:

1) Get the current procedure code element. You can use
EditPoint.CodeElement(vsCMElement.vsCMElementFunction). Notice that this
function is buggy. See

2) Once you have the CodeElement, you have CodeElement.GetStartPoint(part)
and CodeElement.GetEndPoint(part) where you pass the requested part and you
get an EditPoint. These functions have also their dosis of bugs...

3) With a TextPoint, you call TextPoint.CreateEditPoint to get an EditPoint,
and then you call EditPoint.Insert(blah blah).
