Does DTE provide a way to just read a Visual Studio solution file as opposed to calling DTE.Solution.Open(...) which actually loads it? I have some Add-in code that can walk through all the items in a solution file (including containing projects) but I want to avoid actually loading the .sln as its mammoth! VS 2010 routinely has trouble doing anything useful once the solution is loaded. The intellisense hangs forever trying to parse all the header files and such.
No, it is not possible, the solution must be loaded
