I have been slowly digging through Visual Studio's SDK, but could not yet figure out what DTE stands for. This is a silly question, but I really can't seem to find it. DTE is super useful, it would be super cool to know what it is as well.
EnvDTE is an assembly-wrapped COM library containing the objects and members for Visual Studio core automation.
It stands for Development Tools Environment.
They don't seem to mention it much, the only page on MSDN I could find that says what it stands for is this one.
DTE = "Development Tools Environment"
Essentially, I understand it to be the part of Visual Studio that lets you interact with the computer itself. This can control things such as active windows and applications.
