How to add commands dynamically in VSPackage (Visual Studio 2013 Package)

I developed an Addin for VS2012, it is displayed in the code window (editor's) context menu. There's a menu which has a sub-menu. Sub-menu items are added dynamically, for instance..

 Cut
 Copy
 Paste
   .
   .
   .
 My Menu >  sub menu item 1
            sub menu item 2
            sub menu item 3

Now for Visual Studio 2013 I need to convert (almost re-write) the addin as VSPackage.

I am able to create a command, but I cannot add commands dynamically as sub menu items.

Please download the source code (VSPackage for VS2013) from: http://sdrv.ms/INbIu2

Question

How can I make a menu and dynamic sub menu in VSPackage?

I would really appreciate any example.

Thanks a lot!

Use the DynamicItemStart flag on a command definition in your .vsct file: How to: Dynamically Add Menu Items.

Also, check the respective "Walkthrough" topics.

The VSPackage you are creating can still add and remove commands via the same APIs that you used from your Add-In.
