VS2010 add-in custom menu item in files of Solution Explorer

Question

I need to create a custom menu item for Visual Studio 2010 Add-in in C#, but I have had no luck in finding a solution for my needs.

I am aware that there was a similar post (Visual Studio Add-In - adding a context menu item to solution-explorer), but it did not help, as the blog follows the process through the integration package, and the video is done through VB. I had attempted to convert the VB syntax to the C# syntax, but about half way through the video, the Add-in methods has significantly changed from 2005 to 2010, as some of the methods have removed or changed.

Is there any good tutorials on making a custom menu item on the Solution Explorer in the lastest Visual Studio in C#, and is there a good website that could be used as a reference for looking over the VS add-in API? I've used Microsoft's main website, however it is confusing and wordy, which is difficult to understand and find the methods, properties, or commands that I am looking for.

Any help would be appreicated, Thanks in advance.
