How to get the project directory from a Visual Studio Add-in

I want to get the project directroy from an Add-In. But if I use the following code:

string projectDir = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();

it returns C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\\Common7\\IDE\\

How can I get the Project Directory of the project that uses the Add-In?

You can also simply use Environment.CurrentDirectory

I finally found a solution to my problem:

string projectDir = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);
