Visual Studio Extensibility - Unload current project

I need to make a Visual Studio Extension/Plugin which involves unloading/reloading all projects in a solution.

Using the Visual Studio Extensibility SDK (C#) I have got as far as getting a list of the projects (EnvDTE.Project). Sadly I can't find any decent documentation on then manipulating the projects.

I have seen a few posts relating to DTE2.ExecuteCommand, but then could not find a list of available commands and how to use them. Can someone point me in the right direction?

You may use IVsSolutionInterface that has methods to load and unload project. Try this extension method passing the project guid to the contructor.

private void UnloadProject(IVsSolution4 solution, Guid projectGuid)
    {
        int result;

        result = solution.UnloadProject(ref projectGuid, (uint)_VSProjectUnloadStatus.UNLOADSTATUS_UnloadedByUser);
        ErrorHandler.ThrowOnFailure(result);
    }
